it's not dead, but the way of collecting has changed.
In the past, collectors always bought their shoes from release
either for wearing, keeping them DS or both.
Since the 1990's in some countries private resllers bought up
multiple pairs in order to resell them few years later for much higher price
to make profit of that.
Now in the recent years the amount of such private resellers increased
causing not much amount left in the public retailers and forcing
collectors to pay higher price.
