Pretty much every retro is cooling down, even 4s at this point.

Nike/JB increased retail prices and flooded the market trying to capitalize on the post-Last Dance and COVID retro hype meanwhile the sneaker market in general is down.

descriptively, yes thats whats happening. i just think this was part of the plan. whether its to get people used to seeing higher price points even if they go on sale or to take up more shelf space on retailors shelves vs other brands.

i think this gets framed a lot in away that makes it look like the market is punishing nike for doing too much, and despite word of SOME models being made in less quantities, all things point to nike setting itself up to make more shoes mores quickly (and sustainably) moving forward.

for the most part, nike knows when they have a hit on their hands and they know when something is being made that will most likely move via discount. all part of the plan

I do wonder if the massive discounts are making Nike/JB slow down releases though. Like they cancelled a bunch of retro releases this year so it makes me wonder if they realize that they are flooding the market, even if their endgame is to increase retail prices across the board, as you mentioned.
