There is nothing wrong with things going to Marshalls and Ross...I buy from Marshalls, Ross, thrift stores, consignment stores, etc ALL THE TIME. The point I was trying to make has much more to do with the amount of pairs that are produced than where they end up. My point is all about the flooding of the market. IMO, The entire flooding of the market makes things undesirable to ME (and, by the way things are looking - to others, as well). IMO, the hunt for a pair of sneakers is almost as fun as owning the pair. Finding the pair I've been looking for on every sales rack in America is not fun to me...nor is it interesting.
difference between you and i is that i dont care for exclusivity in the least.
if i think something looks good and i find it comfortable enough for me to wear I'm gonna buy it regardless of how exclusive whatever the product is. just because i prefer a market where you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to buy things or shouldn't have to pay a ridiculously inflated price due to hype/exclusivity in the aftermarket means i/others who share my sentiments should shop from brands at walmart? lol that just sounds stupid my guy.
you just sound like a hype beast from your last post
why is this such a bad thing? this is great for us so we shouldn't have to put in as much work for things we would like to buy
why things going to Marshalls and Ross a bad thing b? just sounds made beasty
I'd say my favorite AM 90 in the world is the DQM 90's from 2004/2005 cuz I used to go DQM and bug that dude Dave Ortiz about getting his own model of AM90's all the time. I think he came with a great concept and the execution was perfect. Does that make me a hypebeast cuz I'm glad they didn't end up on sales shelves at Ross or Marshalls? The fact that I've never seen a pair on anyone else's foot makes me like them even more. If I saw them at Ross or Marshall's I'd be happy as hell to have them at that kind of price, but not if they were on the shelves of every Ross or Marshall's in America because there would be no story to that pair, for me.
My whole point was about the flooding of the market. Hypebeast or not, the hunt is a big part of what I enjoy. I don't think there's a single person in here who would look at my collection and say 'ohhh that's dope' because I have so many random shoes and have no cohesion to my collection. I think when the hunt is no longer there - that's probably when I'll stop buying sneakers. I think that cheapens the desire and, therefore, cheapens the brand.
