My beef is with them re-releasing inferior (quality wise) sneakers.

Co-sign. But there are some shoes that I would like to see re-released. Like '00 Olympic VI because I missed them the first time.
But I don't think you would complain if you don't have a pair of Space Jams and you could get them for $175 instead of the
outrageous prices a DS pair goes for.

it depends on how much i like the shoe... like the 7s for example they coming out with the raptors for the third time when they are passing on bordeaux whichnever came out... i have the raptors but i dont care about them... but to answer your question i could care less about re releases... if i have a pair thatre-releases its cool as long as i like them enough to have a second pair... like if they came out with concords again i wouldnt care that everyone and theirmomma going to have them because i get to have another pair...

You really paid $1000 for a pair of Jordans? Really?

nah doesnt bother me at all. if they chose to bring out blk/infras every third year i'd be fine with that, i love them so i'd be able to wear them todeath then pick myself up a new pair for retail. just opinion though

kinda ... on the other hand pairs I couldn't get the first time there's a new chance!
what I hate is the few not yet retroed OG colors being retroed ... why can't JB just leave some OGs alone?
MILKING THE COW I GUESS ...

I don't know about you, but I'd be laughing at anyone paying $1000 for Eminem IIs. Now OR later. Sorry you wasted "hours" on the firstnubucks. Get over it.

Its good to have multiple pairs of the same shoe if you can afford it, but I highly doubt Eminem's will be a general release. I never got the onlinerelease of the nubucks so Im very happy these are being released again

i bet they might release them again but in a different colorway, but it could look very similar

Long-term reselling, that is, depending on a company's actions that you have no say in, is a dumb way to make money away anyway. These people deserve theirartificial losses and will hopefully learn their lesson some day. And as for feeling like you over-paid for a shoe, it happens all the times with all sorts ofproducts, from electronics to houses. You just have to learn to live with it, assume it will happen since it has happened before, and be smart with your money.Don't pay more than what a shoe is worth to you and you should at least be able to sleep at night. I came into this post thinking there would be a lot ofpeople agreeing with the original poster, but I'm glad to see that there is still some sense left on this board.

Didn't some of those nubucks make it to retail stores a few weeks after their release anyway? If I'm not mistaken they were going for less too(probably because they weren't packaged together with that sweater or gloves or whatever the hell they packed with them).

This is the way of the business world. Companies will continue to produce a product if the demand is high enough and will cut cost in producing the product bylowering their standards on quality as long as consumers are still buying. If you really have a problem with the product being released then don't buy it.That's all you can do but I am sick of people complaining like JB is the only business in the world who uses these practices.
