The banned and royal colorways are so iconic especially if you're a fan of MJ. All stars and top 3 are aight but theres no history behind them, theres no comparison with the OG's imo.

Nike is simply struggling selling out a lot of their GR retros. Adidas seems to have taken the GR reseller hype away.
Limited releases like OVOs, hyped OG 1 releases like these Royals and whatnot are still going to sellout..
At the end of the day, Nike is still going to sell all of the retros that are sitting-they will go on discount and to outlets to folks who can't afford/didn't want to pay retail on them.

Nike seems to be in the same situation Apple is in, to be honest.

Most shoes, yeah. I gave a number for Breds in Roosevelt Field then gave another one in California.

I do wonder if selling the same retros over and over again is a good long term growth model though. At a certain point, I do wonder if they will eventually oversaturate the market.
Much like the effects of climate change, I think we are many years away from something that drastic happening though.

QFT. I find it hilarious how Nike's most popular shoes are also it's most terrible (in a sneakerhead's eyes).
Makes you realize that most people buy shoes for completely utilitarian purposes.

Roshes are old news and complete trash
If you're still buying roshes in 2017 :x
Hell even if you were buying them in 2016
No self respecting person would still buy Roshes.. The same could be said about Monarchs tbqh. Those are basically "Kirkland" Nike models.

Those use to be my casual/workout shoes back when I was in middle school, they were ideal cheap Nike sneaker for a young asian kid/tween during the mid-late 90s/early 2000s...........until I discovered Air Force 1s.

I doubt it. Most people buy again cause their previous pair got beat, or they buy because they missed the previous release.
Also don't forget the newcomers that were children during the previous release, or just recently got into jordans.
I've been into Nikes for over 15 years but didn't get into spending my money and following Jordans till like 2010

Yeah I couldn't resist either but when the money's gone then what? Lol I wish I didn't get so attached to shoes man. Can't say I have a pair of yeezys anymore as those were my only ones. Kinda sucks. Hopefully in time I'll just forget about em lol.

I bought other shoes with the money, i allocate only so much money on shoes so it was awesome to suddenly have a windfall of shoe money. Plus there are SO many damn fake yeezys it was getting exhausting just explaining to people how mine were real. And i only wore them a few times. Luckily i bought them when the price was still under 4 figs so i still came out on top. Theres shoe money, and then theres real life money like for bills and ughhh ******* retirement funds... ******* old man i know

Wish the adidas stans would just stick to the adidas yeezy thread. Funny thing is adidas doesn't even have its own section on here. No disrespect to the adidas worshippers but Nike has decades of innovative products that can be retro'd every 3 years and get devoured. I don't think 350s or NMDs will have that stay power. More ppl want to sell yeezys than wear them. If they drop 1 pair of yeezys in say wc4 numbers that colorway will get disregarded by the hypebeasts.

Is it better to sell 100k units in 2 hours or 200k units in 2 months? I prefer my purchases to be as easy as possible, hype be damned
Quanto? How much is the question [emoji]128512[/emoji]

LMAO @ "NTers reminiscing beta days of an app, intended to make getting limited shoes easier for everyone, because resellers w/bots make getting limited shoes online hard. And when opportunistic app opens up to everyone across platforms, NTers wish it still only favored a few that chose one OS/hardware set over the other, thus making it harder for those without said OS/Hardware, just like resellers were doing for everyone in the first place"
hahahaaaaaaaaaahahahaha Super rich, and ironic.
Anyways, what do I know...I'm just some random low post count schmoe that's scored numerous times with SNKRs. On Android. You can roast me by Gifs now.
