Retail or nothing. At the end of the day folks it's only a pair of shoes.

btw buying shoes isn't a game.

everyone takes that phrase out of context...notice how people dont get mad when people say "the rap game"...game= the action of doing something imo..."I just got back into the game" = "I just got back into _______ (put almost any kind of action in the blank)" IMO. It is not meant to be taken literally.


rap game= rap industry
drug game= sellin
shoe game= collecting, buying, forums, selling, trading........ what we do everyday


Its a new term imo,  06ish...when did you first hear people sayin the shoe game?

as long as there are buyers willing to pay 3x's retail price or more, then there will be resellers camping out at releases.

You can either treat it as a hobby and keep collecting or just don't buy into hype and don't waste your money

I agree, with some parts...i think limited shoes are strictly for collectors...they are the pairs that we pull out of the collection as one of our top pieces....but there's no point when you have to fight off resellers

i put all the blame on the resellers, rather than the shoes...shoes should go to the people that actually want it, rather than reselling...but you can't stop that

yet it is possible to still have a "limited" quantity and still cater to all that want it
