I always hated the fact that the tag on my SBB was mangled.

i like this thread, reminds me of the 1s i own without having to open the boxes. seriously, who would've thought chicago lows would go for 400? imagine riding a trend that hard you over pay for outlet fodder

Tired of everything being hard to get. Jordan 9s selling out?? Wtf. No reason for Nike to make only 23,000 pairs of those Jordan 1s. Nike loves this stupid game that they’re playing, but I hope it backfires on them. Everything is ****ing limited these days. Jordans, Kobes, PS5s, Xboxes, Vaccines.

All these limited releases should show everybody they’ve made it fine without getting them. Honestly think about something you missed out on 3-6 months ago. Still bother you? Even remember what shoe it was? Enjoy what you got and move on, Nike/JB has honestly got me to were I could care less what’s coming out. Great business plan, alienate your core customer.

The sneaker costs a few bucks to make in a sweatshop using **** materials, the joke is on whoever is willing to shell out that much for a pair of Nike or Jordans.

Due to a couple of ppl posting pairs of 1’s that looked like they were part of a cumshot compilation I felt the need to take these for a spin
It’s been awhile

Smh. Where do we start.It’s crazy the world we live it these days when a SNKR can cost this much.
I mean, $2500 from the buyers perspective- yeah that’s a bit crazy but I get it, some collectors have deep pockets and will pay what’s necessary to get them, logic be damned. But theres no chance those are legit - full size run??? eBay will authenticate- I am really curious how that will work out. I wonder if they’ll just put 2 and 2 together and use common sense that they’re fake. Do they look at the seller’s profile/history/other items? Or if they’ll inspect the shoe and if it checks out, approve them.

I was watching a video review of the the Jordan 1 Chicago from 1994. It had a sale tag on it for 9.90. I really hate how things have changed.It’s crazy the world we live it these days when a SNKR can cost this much.

For real. Back in my day, 9.90 was enough to put a down payment on a Sears-Roebuck kit home with enough leftover to buy a nice Studebaker and put my kids through elementary school.

I still can’t believe I sold off my entire Jordan 1 collection back in 2017, got bit bad by the Adidas Yeezy bug.
That was a great time, everyone looking Adidas' way and ignoring Nike. Wish that was still the case.

Agree with everything you've said except the last sentence. We are not their core customer. People that buy Team Jordans and dri fit shirts at JC Penny are. Those products move at much bigger margins and volume. The collaborations and special releases are to keep the company's image and trendiness high.
If this chart is accurate JB made 3.6B in 2020, 8.6% of the company's revenue. We don't know the numbers inside JB, but we can guess that the retro releases are probably pretty small.

bingo. sketchers was number 2 behind nike and ahead of adidas a few years ago because of that vert same customer base.
on another note, this is all cyclical. retro hype is gonna die down eventually just like it pre 2015 and whats currently happening to adidas.

Pretty interesting that everything is down at Nike from 2019, except Jordan brand, which is having record sales.That was a great time, everyone looking Adidas' way and ignoring Nike. Wish that was still the case.

The Monarch is one of their best sellers if not top seller year over year.
Most folks do not spend $150+ for a pair of shoes, much less multiple in that price range each year.
But they will buy a $60 pair once a year.

Selling Jordan 1s to buy Yeezys should be a ban-able offense.

Good luck man but I’d wait them out with the way prices are and once you get them you’ll have them forever if that’s what you decide. I skipped on 2015 release because I had the 95 retro and I was going thru personal stuff then. I just got lucky on 2015’s roughly a year ago on eBay with somebody not knowing what they had.That’s it, i’m definitely gonna cop Chicago’s after i pay off the whip

If I had to take a guess I would say it's due to the expanding into more areas. I don't remember if JB had as many apparel sections as it does to day, but on the footwear side they have definitely expanded into casual/running/other places. Things like the Delta or Jordan Max 200 come to mind.
