I wonder if thesell go on discount like the past kolor. I feel like the only reason those were cheap were bc of how hideous they were

I wouldn't because they would sit. It has to be a magical formula of pretending to look different from any other UB/NMD, i.e. wacky color, change in material, add collab brand. Then make 7000 because that seems like the number people start scooping for no reason other than resell. Then set the price $30-$50 higher than retail.

Instant Sold.

I'm willing to bet had they slapped dots on these new ones as well, they'd be in the same boat.  These go back to the solid paneling aesthetic of Kolor's 1.0, which isn't as wacky. But that's not a defense for it, don't like them at all.  They look like something that somebody made by hitting random select on MiAdidas.

We're dealing with a different breed of resellers in this 3.0 wave. 2.0 wave is mostly forgotten at this point.

Boggles my mind that these Kolors are flying compared to 1.0/2.0 but hey their money so go for it. Glad trace cargo uncaged sat. that woulda been a 'fire' shoe if it was NYC exlusive.
 
Didnt he have actual $ amount the last time?  Like $15 carts or something like that?  Forgot what dropped.  Might have been the Oreos or one of the Cargos.

Yeah but right before the breds dropped they switched to tokens saying they're "easier to refund" but it's clearly because they want people to have left over tokens so they end up coming back or they want people to buy tokens and strike out on release so that they still get the cash but don't have to provide a service for that release

That was before they changed it to the token system. It was the night cargos i believe

I guess so.  But the assertion was that a particular formula would result in a likely outcome.  I think with each wave Kolor is like "challenge accepted" haha.

yeah it used to be that you can buy carts just like that. But then people started actually making a atc/bot to cart YM carts

. So some of the average joes couldn't even buy their carts because it was all taken up. So YM made token carts, which also helps with the refunds should any problems arise.

I would say forumla would still stand true in today's environment, minus Uncaged/pureboost variations.

I get Kolors is designed to be that abstract but all of a sudden they flying off shelves now like they gonna be worth anything more than retail.
