kids buying j's and never ever seen the man play. They just buy because of hype. Old schooolers buy because we remember a game, a moment, or saw something amazing happened when the man was wearing a certain pair.

Dear Santa

Can you please put a stop to this stupid fad called "shoe game" or "sneakerheads"... So that way I can walk into a store like a normal person and buy a pair of really nice original quality pair of unlimited shoes that I can wear and not put in a trophy case like some idiots. Give re-sellers a better paying job and oh yea last but not least... Peace on earth and bring back Nike Air and OG quality on those Air Jordans!

Thanks.

It seems that we're hitting the later part of stage 3 in this market right now.

Well said.......it really is simple supply and demand economics....with factors such as exclusivity, perception of the product, and other demand characteristics changing the market's evolution

Jordan brand had on thing right....they determined if people are willing to buy fakes with lesser quality....if they made a lot more production of their more coveted models in these "alternated" colorways they would make more money....thus where we are today
