True

For a little while prices went down as low as 800-1000... but after the Europe release, they started rising again.

There's no going back to the quickstrike because it's just not possible anymore.  We live in the instant age, with blogs and social media and even ancient old Niketalk always getting the jump on unreleased product.  While it would be nice for more pairs to be floating out to make an easier cop, the demand isn't going down for the sneaks anytime soon.

Yep, this release wasn't about money now, it's about keeping that hype built up for consistent money later.  They don't want this "shoe game" to become what happened to the card collection scene in the 90s.

Nikes entire objective is to make money, and being a sneakerhead is the new card collecting.  Its the new pog's, its the new cabbage patch kids, elmo, beanie baby, etc...  Sports cards went south once everyone knew they could be bought and sold for money (people do this with sneakers), also sports cards started to get away from general stuff and turned into being all about super rare "sub sets" and "inserts" (what do you call what is going on with sneakers the last couple years?)
you are in the middle of the downswing of a fad, sure some people really enjoy all of the things I listed about and will continue to collect with or without the hype.  But a majority are in and out just like every other fad.

That's exactly what is it. We used to have all that stuff for collecting, but nowadays, they're all out of style. Sneakers are the new collectible in town. However, just like everything, the fad will die and things will get better.

something smells like a fish. Dude sent me pics and the box has a flightclub sticker with a price of 1850 on it and he selling for 800???? the place is on the legit list however this seems odd... It could also be noted that originally he asked me to gift the money via paypal. I know that isn't completely unheard of but asking someone that you have never done business with to just gift that amount of money??? STRANGE

 

[mrniketalk]

^just add the 4% paypal rendering the gift excuse useless
ask for newer, dated pics, but that may not be possible

This may not be a fish nessesarily, because many people from flight club never sold thier pairs.

I almost became one of them

 

[bignosemark]

huge prices dropped, i see every where

 

[ninjahood]

cats still want a stack for em all over fordham lolz.....

 

[kontraband1911]

These are nice foams and everything but I don't care if they let me walk on water..never paying $1000 plus for a sneaker..thats ridiiculous!!!

 

[adamkarvounakis]

Just got mine for $800 and in my size, on to the Playoff XII's

 

[45de]

lmao they are only worthh $300 you all are stupid...

 

[proballer]

^^^ take your hate elsewhere. Let people spend their money as they please and don't judge. Props to everyone who copped!

thats why i love VIM, cuz cats like you think they never get anything.

but rico, all blacks on sale? this didn't happen around my hood..joints were gone for retail in da summer no less in 2007.

Nah i just never knew. I used to live by a VIM in sunset park brooklyn, they never had kicks like that.

New shoe collectors like you always make wrong assumptions.

 

[purplehazen]

i love them but back to how cheap this actuallt look up close.. like what they going to look like with a scratch or scuff in them? im guessing a white base under that cheap wall paper around the foam itself..
