Gonna be on my feet. One to sell+one to rock=free shoes.
They are even worse on the foot...Jesus....who the fuck designed these? Those 3's aren't much better with those silly ass purple accents. It's easy to cop shoes now, they drop so much garbage it's an easy decision what to buy. Those xx8 left a bad taste in my mouth. Ugliest Jordan's of all time, even worse than the 15's and 16's.
@jaydubber69
Who stopped wearing polo?
These niggas will sell y'all anything and its a must cop. Smh.....
First and foremost, stop making cheap ass shoes. Then, stop making gay ass combinations of Jordan's and other shoes/Jordan's. STOP. Then, if you are going to continue to not make enough shoes for everyone who wants them, they need some sort of customer loyalty program for people like me; a 32 year old man with a job, wife, kids and has been wearing jordans since they came out. Someone who has bought damn near every Jordan 2-3 times. Plus, now has children to buy Jordan's for. This sounds kind of mean, but if you weren't alive and old enough to enjoy Jordan playing, you're just dick riding. If you didn't enjoy the special feeling of believing a pair of shoes made you better, dont buy them. Save them for those who apprciate. Go wear Kobe's. Wear lebrons. Wear some Melos or something. Some fusions. I've been wearing Jordan's (and foams since they dropped) MY ENTIRE LIFE. It's all I know. Thousands of dollars of hats and shoes have been purchased to go ALONG with Jordan's. Now I have to stand in line with high school children, 20 something cock riders and resellers just to get shoes. Or pay 2x retail! make the damned shoes 250, make foams 300, and available all the time. Make special releases $500. That will take the steam out of resellers, keep the broke away, and preserve your exclusivity. Know how often I see a pair of prada sneakers? Not too often. Why? They're $450. If I see a guy in my $800 prada spazzolatos I say "nice shoes."
Makes you not want to buy sneakers anymore. A tribute to how CHEAP these shoes really are. There is no excuse for an unworn shoe to literally crumble after bein in the box.
Fakes. cmon people, you can look at the quality, and the dimensions are off. Look at the stitching on some of them. One or two MAY be custom, and i can believe the blacked out commercial shoes, but these are fake shoes people.
@jdubb When Sean Johnson did hoop, he played ball in whatever was hottest. I used to hoop in platinum flightposites and the KG's when they dropped. That was high school. If I played ball now, I'd be hooping in Lebron elites, or one of 5 Jordan's. I was a stocker/rocker. If they were hot like that, I bought 2 pairs.
Good. Make hot shoes expensive as hell so resellers cant see a profit, and people like me who have been buying hot shoes for 25 years and have real jobs can buy them without having to stand in line with teenagers. Make all foams 300, exclusives 500. Only those who really want them will cop them. Those who can't afford them..if you cant afford 300, you couldn't afford 237.50 for the last pair. Too bad.
I love foams, but these will stay on the shelf for the loser resellers. Run losers run! You can buy my pair and sit on them for a month to make 100 on ebay with 10% fees. Yay......get a real job.
@WiLLsSiDeKicK @CC221 You're a cocksucking re-seller. Deal with it. You're the scum of the sneaker world.
My last point is this. Every other product in the world that tries to market itself as exclusive has some kind of brand/customer loyalty. Buy a lot of Ferrari's? You got first chance at the 599xx and the Enzo's. If you hadn't bought a ferrari before those dropped, you had NO CHANCE at one unless someone sold you their shot at one, or you bought one used. My wife has a lot of Prada and coach bags, the more serial numbers you register, the more free crap they send you. Buy a lot of Louis V? Big discounts. I've bought 4 cars at the same dealership. I get mad perks, services, discounts, upgrades, special pricing, It should be just like that with the exclusive shoes. Those that have the last pair should get first crack at them. You see I've bought 10 pairs of foams, I should automatically get the next pair. Only Nike makes its LOYAL customers jump through a 1000000000 hoops to get a product, and then rewards them with nothing. Not even 5% off. They sent my boy and me a card for 10 % off our next purchase of nike apparel (jordans, lebrons, foams and all the hot shit excluded of course) after we complained about the galaxy foam release. After I read that email and online coupon, I got so mad I had to leave work and go home. 10% off everything I DON'T buy? Geeee, thanks. If Nike is so fucking cheap that people who have been buying your shit for a generation can't get a discount, then why not sell unlimited quantities of shoes? Why cheat yourself out of galaxy foam money? Why allow resellers to profit? Why didn't Nike just sell the shoes for 1000 bucks themselves? If I see people selling my product for a 500-800% markup..... If I'm selling ounces for 500, and niggas is reselling them for a pound, we are going to do some serious price adjusting. Its different if the product is available all the time, then I'd feel like Nike owed me nothing. If I could have bought galaxy foams from nike.com for $500, I wouldn't even be on here posting. I remember when nobody EVEN LIKED FOAMS, when they made fun of DC niggas for wearing "spaceboots." The flightposites, the kevin garnetts, the first foams, the duncans. We got CLOWNED......now you have to stand in line with the same MF's who would have been laughing, but now see an easy come up. This sneaker shit is serious to some of us......the rest of yall are just in the way.
If it hadn't been for the resellers, those galaxy foams would have been available to cop, but NOOOOOO, 25,000 broke fools with no other way to earn a dime and with no jobs, sat out and camped out and caused riots. Sneaker heads can patiently wait, we've planned TO wait, organize ourselves and police the line with no security. There wouldn't even be that many people out there; most DIDN'T EVEN LIKE THE GALAXY'S!!!! Then on top of that, you have store employees jerking you as well. At both Southlake mall and PG plaza where the galaxy releases were cancelled, the employees LIED to people and said they sent the shoes back, the release was totally cancelled, they would never sell the shoe. Thursday morning, they sneak sold the shoe to all their friends and themselves. Let people buy multiple pairs with cash. Where is the fair in that. Honestly.......I feel like I deserve special privilege in buying nikes. I've been wearing them for 27 years. Ive got pics from the 80's in just about every air jordan imaginable, not to mention my collection of og's that goes back to 1998. Ive probably spent 25k on shoes in my life, why the hell should I have to stand in line with teenagers? Why the hell should I have to stand in line period? Why the fuck don't I get some advance notification and RSVP to guarantee my shoes? The fun in the game used to be breaking out a FRESH pair of shoes that 99% of people have run into the ground years later. I feel like Nike doesn't appreciate its longtime customers. WE, the 30+ crowd BUILT NIKE. WE sang your songs, WE watched jordan, WE argued with parents when sneakers became $100 bucks and your mother looked at you like you had lost your mind. And then again when they went to 125-150! "Goddammit, this is the last pair of $150.00 tennis shoes I'm gonna buy, do you hear me?!" SWORE my mother in 1994. True to her word, I've bought every pair since. I've been in the game so long I had every sneaker store in the DMV's number copied out of the YELLOW PAGES on a special index card to save time looking for sizes back in the day. Still always got a pair. Burned up 25-30 bucks in cellular minutes (about 2 hours worth) talking on a phone the size of a liter bottle of water and shaped like a brick...what y'all know about that? We need verified V.I.P. accounts. I feel like nike's attitude is fuck you, thanks for buying our shoes and making them and our brand hot, now go stand in line like you never bought a pair. I now have kids, what the fuck are you going to give me to repay me for indoctrinating them into the world of nike sneakers? I feel like we get NOTHING back from nike. No frequent buyers club, no discount, no rsvp. Nothing. SNEAKERHEADS MADE SHOES EXCLUSIVE BY KEEPING THEM. Not nike by limiting the quantity. Sneaker heads bought 2 pairs, rocked on and stocked one, or had enough sneakers in rotation that they were never not fresh. When you stepped out on the town in og 11's 8 years later that never yellowed cause you didn't wear them, that made the exclusivity. Nike and resellers have taken all the fun out being a sneakerhead.
They need to make the shoes 4-500 bucks and available all the time so the broke resellers cant buy them, and those who really want them can always get them. I don't see a lot of Prada sneakers. Why? they are 375.00. Make the yeezys and limited foams and stuff like that 500 bucks and available all the time. The exclusivity means nothing to me, make the shoes expensive enough and the price makes them exclusive. My spazzolato nero's were $1400 and they are pretty damn exclusive. Nike is killing their own revenue. I'd spend and extra 80 on foams if they were available all the time, hell make em 350. I'll still buy em, I got it. That'll stop the yellow bottomed foam rockers and resellers from even copping a pair.
Resellers kill the game. They are not innovative, they are not entrepreneurs. All they do is squeeze extra money out of people who like sneakers. 90% of the people in line for galaxy's and Yeezy's are in line because they are losers with no job, and the dream of being able to not do any "real work and "come up" is irresistible. They are too stupid to make money any other way, so they stand in line to buy shoes in any size just to screw someone willing to pay that much. I''m 32 and remember when the sneaker game was alright. Now you have to wait in line with people who don't even know anything about shoes. I hate having to stand in line with un-fresh dorks with yellow bottomed foams becasue they rock them all the time, kids who have never even bought a pair of OG Jordans or seen Michael play basketball. You don't know anything about fresh. You don't even like the shoes, but you know someone will pay a grip for them becasue UNLIKE YOU THEY HAVE 1500 TO PAY FOR SHOES. You're a broke loser if you resell sneakers. If I had seen a known reseller with a size 12 galaxy foam.......jacked. AND I would have given you 237.50, tucked it right in your pocket after i knocked you out. Someone trying to rock them or collect them? go about your biz and enjoy.
