The shoe market...... (serious topic)

[lil black jean jacket]

Do you guys think the prices of shoes will keep on raising forever & ever? Or 1 day, all shoes will be affordable & easy to obtain?

Discuss.

nope, they may not raise forever but no way all shoes will be affordable and easy to obtain because older shoes are hard to find and will never be easy toobtain, as well as limited shoes.

 

[swift yons]

what kind of shoes are you talking about? Regular shoes or Shoes with values? if you are talking about shoes with sentimental value such as OG's of coursethey will be worth more and more with time.

Shoes and stuff (like J's) might not be AS valuable as the market becomes flooded more and more with them (although I think we might be past those timeswhen the Countdown Packs are all out... but we'll see), but OG's will keep pretty high value for a longggg time IMO. Fakes could be a factor, but theywon't completely destroy values of kicks over time.

Your question is way too vague.

All the 'heat' you guys wear to 'style on dudes' will always be expensive because the concept of 'I got these and you don't'will be in effect.

But there are some cheaper generic Nikes that are always cheap, well as cheap as Nikes get at MSRP.

i noticed a few things:



more sneakers being released



retail prices going up



resale value going down

 

[kicks off]

resale value of shoes have been in the decline for several years now.

^That is true.... but as far as SBs...

, it makes me sad... Thousands of dollars

Word. And the SB game is crazy, glad i'm not into them, but I did like the What The Dunks

Pertaining to SBs, it would be hilarious if Nike decided to re-release the really hyped up (most expensive) SBs. Think about it, a pair of Tiffanys or Unklesis rapidly increasing, but if Nike were to re-release them the increase in supply would decrease their rarity and prices. Imagine what would happen to peoplewho paid $1000 plus for the Pigeons, their shoe value would diminish. Quality and shoe boxes would have to be the same.

They'd be pissed, so what? Nike doesn't see any of the money that resellers make (obviously). Re-releasing popular shoes can only mean twothings: $$$$ for Nike, and really happy true shoeheads.

Shoes will always go up in price. As the cost of living goes up also.

That would be nice!!!

as for j's and stuff once mj is completely out of the scene who noes...maybe i'll go up maybe it'll go down...i have a few pairs i didnt get rid ofyet...i might have to soon

 

[limitedretroog]

It's like an elevator, they go up and down. You can get the IIs and XIVs below retail. When the DMPs first came out, you have to drop like $600. Now, youcan get them for around retail.

Well said.

But, to answer the question the market is about to fall like no other once the XX3's and Countdown Packs come out. The best time to sell your jays waswhen it was the 20th anniversary.

I am an older head and I'm stopping at XX3's. Most other older collector's are probably going to do the same and then what sell your collectiontrying to cash out on something. Well so will about a few thousand other people. The market will be flooded with a lot of collections up for sale by the timethe XX4's come out.

Yo, rice boy 45 is my account, but it isn't working right now.... I wanted to edit the post to;

Do you guys think the prices of shoes will keep on raising forever & ever? Or that 1 day the whole movement will just crash & the prices of shoeswon't be going for an arm & leg anymore

 

[tootthatthang]

As long as the demand for them keeps rising so will the prices
