Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

^Nice!

I remember back in the day when the store I managed had gotten them in, they sat for about 3-4 days before we sent them to another store who sold them out.

I'm gonna head out tomorrow and see if I can pick up my size. these are a must have. I was dead tired from staying up all night with the Mrs Black Friday shopping to even try when they launched this morning.

What people don't understand is that you're not looking at just the Aqua 8s as a stand alone.  You're looking at various makes and models being released through out the "year", and that MSRP adds up.  It's easy to say, the $190 ain't too bad, relative to so and so.  But when you're buying all the other retros, shoes, etc. at increased prices, you're being squeezed.  Said it before, but the demand for most releases were driven in large by resellers.  That secondary market has fizzled tremendously and re-sellers no longer find it profitable.  It goes back to the supply and demand concept and it's obvious that Nike has found a more profitable way to combat bots and the resell market.  It wasn't rocket science.  A simple research of pairs sold at 'x' price provided the answer.

The scary thing is that Nike themselves are concerned with over supplying the market.  Making every release a $200 range premium may not necessarily sustain itself for consumers.  Something has got to give....

A while back, people were up and all about this 'remastered' gimmick.  For whatever reason, consumers just got lazy and like so, just moved onto the next 'hyped' retro/release.  Say what you will, but the pace of things is actually starting to back fire. 

I hope they bring the bugs bunny 8 back.  These aqua 8s are and were very easy to get back then, and it looks like history is just repeating itself.

knowing that releases such as the white cements, flu game 12s, rumored black cements, metallics and military 4s are coming out, how do you see 2016 playing out? You think they'll saturate the market with the white cements?

Yeah. It's those other new pointless colorways that will struggle to sell.

The retro market has already been saturated.   I'm not sure what you'e asking though, but it just goes back to consumers; goes back to supply and demand.  If things become unsustainable from a consumer's standpoint, then you get the obvious choice of selection.  This is where you'll see the divide.  

Think most people already realize what's going on..

Does anyone know about Rockcitykicks and do they always take several days before shipping???

at this point man, if you don't trust them you could probably cancel that order and cop somewhere else. I scooped up a pair on NDC @ 9:30 last night.

The shoes I got were the Foams. I talked to them yesterday and they said they were still in their shipping department and we be going out "today" which was yesterday
 
im searching through the thread but I've missed about 50 pages so.....

did anybody ever find out where to get the dj envy pistons hat?

why did i have to wait in line for 30+ minutes on NDC, when they are still available now ?

why were there no 12.5 on NDC? only reason I didnt just cop locally

Man once the midsole paint started coming off and the durabuck got its first crack, i stopped caring and treated them like snowboots.

Pretty sure the salt did most of the damage.

Plus, Aquas are my all time favorite AJ ever. Over 4s,3s, 1s etc

I couldnt wait to have on hand

I planned on sending those back but now looking at my 07s, I might need a backup pair lol

Didn't someone give him a ridiculous list of things to do if he wanted a pair? Like name some mixtapes and make a music video or something :lol: :smh:
