If the above statement was true then based on the "hype" around this shoe JB would release another Million of them and they would also release every grail ever and keep them stocked on shelfs.  But see if they did this then alot of the shoes would sit because you would have an option of which one to get and if you could get them whenever there would be no frenzy.  This is why JB releases shoes the way they do.  They have to keep Hype to keep selling shoes.  Think about it, if Jordan 1-26 was sitting on shelves in every color year around would you have bought the same shoes you bought this year?  That is why they do it the way the do.  Its great marketing.
