PRETTY MUCH.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESELLING AND SELLING. IF YOU SELL FOR A PROFIT, THEN YOU ARE  RESELLING. WHETHER THE SHOE RELEASED YESTERDAY OR 20 YEARS AGO DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

SOME OTHER FAMOUS RESELLERS:

FOOTLOCKER
FINISHLINE
FOOTACTION
JIMMY JAZZ
DTLR
ETC.....

only difference is if you actually make the product, I.E. Niketown/Factory stores carrying Nike shoes.
 
just got mine in from FNL. pretty dope. oh and i'm wearing mine...at some point lol

he edited my post, read the whole thing...anyways,
400 ferrari enzos were produced and msrp'd at over $600,000.  with each year that passes a few are either wrecked and/or totaled.  with each one that is destroyed the value of the remaining cars goes up.  almost ten years after they were made they are now trading at around 1.2 million.
time MOST DEFINITELY effects the value of certain items.  even in this case with shoes, to expect someone to sell you a DS ten year old pair at the original retail is simply foolish...

a pair that came out five DAYS ago and was sold at nearly every major retailer in the country? different story.

It's worse when there was one in your town, but closed down.

Skip, where you from?  Where did a Niketown close down??  That definitely must suck...I would have thought that Niketowns, like McDonalds or gas stations, are pretty much ALWAYS profitable, and thus, fail-proof.  Apparently not...

Yes..cause comparing RARE cars to a Limited QS Jordan are totally hand and hand.

@ people saying the signature line, 1-23, should go to NikeiD.

That'll never happen.

If you want a "custom" color, just get an all white model and paint it yourself.

You guys can't rule out anything.

The chances Nike Air truly retrun and Jordan retros go on Nike ID are about the same and are very slim.

Jordans will eventually become irrevelant. They could then mess with these ideas to try to get people back.

You never know.

not really phantom, I've gotten CDP 6/17 package and wc III's from FNL restocks.  You should usually check early tues or wed morning.
 
^still the same concept. nobody came in and bought up all the enzos straight from the factory just to turn around and sell them at double the price. others factors are included but time being one of the biggest are all reasons for the value doubling. i say its just as unreasonable to expect someone to sell me their enzo for $600,000 as it would be for me to expect someone to sell me their DS original concords for $100.
 
^ I was just talking to one of my boys about this..  NIKE AIR is mos def an ace in the hole for JB and they know it..  They could bring out the White/Cements from January tomorrow with Nike Air on the back and they would sell out, maybe even faster than the release this year..

he probably means Chicago. Niketown Chicago is closed until fall for repairs. the only plus is that theyre finally putting an ID studio in there

I'm in Chicago this summer, so I guess it will be House of Hoops that I go to instead.

TIME MEANS NOTHING TO WHAT THE DEFINITION OF RE-SELLING IS. WHETHER YOU GOT THEM THIS MORNING OR 20 YEARS AGO DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IF YOU SELL IT FOR OVER RETAIL, THEN YOU HAVE PARTICIPATED IN RE-SELLING.
