Is it safe to say the market has finally adjusted and the Jordan bubble has burst?

This thread is probably late and I apologized if there already is one but I checked and didn't see anyway...Anyway, it seems like we're actually going to be able to get a hold of Jordans now without having to win raffles, fight people, or pay ridiculous resell prices.

There might only be two shoes this year that will be hard to get...The Cement 4s and the Flu Games.

Is it a matter of supply and demand or a case of the Jordan craze finally dieing down? I feel like with a new release every week or so, people pretty much have what they want in their collections.

On the other hand, it seems like they've made more shoes and also increased the prices...so it could be simple economics.

Which is it?? 

I think $220 is pretty steep for 20 year old shoes. That doesn't mean I won't buy what I want but at that price I feel like I'm overpaying.
 
My fault if Iam late, just found it interesting. and that's why I said " I don't know if you guys seen it,didn't go through every post looking for it. Respect!
 
I think Jordan Brand will readjust in the next coming years...we've spent a lot of time complaining on missing releases due to limited availability/madness, right now the market is flooded, which the consumer is satisfied with, but Jordan Brand most likely can't afford from an economic nor reputation standpoint to have retros sitting in stores WEEKS after release. Eventually they'll cut back on quantity, they gave us a little taste with 'remastered', shoes are hitting $190-$220 now, people will soon willingly fork that over when the quantities produced start to drop again.

I'm thrilled I can walk in and get what I want. It's like being a kid all over again. Only back then my parents wouldn't buy me Jordans but they were still available to purchase if you wanted.
 
didn't all 4 of these shoes sitting drop in december?

that's close to a stack excluding christmas gifts and other expenses to buy all 4

11s and most 6s gone

it's just both 8s left

8s were never quick sell outs anyway
 
When Air Jordan's are being released practically every week of the year (especially 2 or more a week) coupled with increase of price and higher quantities, some just can't sell out during the 1st weekend. At the end, Nike/JB still comes out on top, because eventually every release sells out if that means that it will take longer we are accustomed to. That is not including the other Nike drops (i.e. Lebrons, Kobe's, Durant's, foamposites, etc). It is just a wallet killer.

Jordan Brand has a serious retro+ design problem... For every good design (SBBs) they are 3-4 bad ones (MTM7s, Statue 9s, Nostalgia 7s, etc.). It blows my mind how they can literally release hot garbage like this and expect the brand to grow.. It makss you wonder if they even conduct annual market research.

They go with the trends and the hype train. And whatever colors they are trying to force on us that year (i.e. Gamma blue)

Nike wants to double Jordan brand sales by 2020. They aren't taking their foot off that gas for a long time.
 
Keep em coming. More Jordan retros on discount like back then.

Nike not going to slow down until their $ and stock see a deep enough decline.
 
No Its just the majority of people do not want the alternate 4's nor the 8's..  6's only sat because it was near then jordan 11 release date.. and everyone broke from holiday shopping.  Ask if the jordan "bubble " burst when the cement 4's drop.
