Half these resellers don't even know what there reselling, let alone know what DB stands for probably can't even pronounce the Doernbecher, and don't know the purpose of the charity in the first place. So its a far stretch.
by delay do u mean ppl who dmed them 15 minutes later won or they dmed winners 15 minutes later
i put them up right after release. i guess i caught the careless rich people lol.
Nike doesn't make much off of retro Jordan's. All it is for Nike is a marketing tool. The Jordan brand doesn't make close to the amount of money the running division does. The way it works is if you want to sell retros you have to carry and sell a certain amount of the other Jordan brand shoes and apparel. The more you sell the more retros you can carry. That's why places like house of hoops who specialize in basketball always get exclusive retros. Now ask yourself why do retailers want to carry retros? Because they bring in crazy amounts of foot traffic even if they only have 20 pairs of a Jordan retro. As we all know most will have cash on them and walk away not getting them but a very large portion will settle for another shoe like the gloves for example. Nike and Jordan brand could care less about making more shoes because retailers would no longer be at their mercy to buy unwanted product just to get a decent allotment of say 20,00 pair of bel air 5's. That's why a lot of mom and pop stores don't last. In the end they have to mark down all that team Jordan crap and it kills their bottom line. The same is being practiced with the Lebron's just look at the forging iron release or the corks.idk....nike only does this for self promotion when you look deep down into it....
producing 8000+/- pairs that sell out in a instance. when you can produce 25000+ and still sell every single one....
for once I agree with you
I am... nothing yet.
same here. fingers crossed
