not that i know, makes no sense to have a thread for shoes that are discontinued 13 years agoIs there a am2003 thread?

i hope so for you but i doubt that nike will bring them back, this year is the 15th anniversary for the AM2003, they could easily bring them back and let the AM2003 lift on the AM97 hype since the air units are the same as the 97s, if nike dont even bring them out back this year why would they even bother and re-retro them over 5 years ??I know.... but those are my all time favorites. I hope they bring those back in 2023.

I hope all is well with your Moms man...Im a sz 14 in everything like you. Would you say 14 is still good for you? Was going to try for a 13 after all of the size down talk.
If I was willing to get something for slightly above retail price and some moron spends $ 700 on it, that opens the floodgates for people to say "that guy spent so much on it, I'll raise the price as well, there's money to be had" and at that moment I'm ****** if other people follow suit. That's why I care in some cases. I cared when people bought Jordans for double and triple retail in 2012-2014 because I wanted those shoes too.I get that but his $700 may be like $70 to you. Really no reason to care what someone else spends. If they have it and it makes them happy, cool. Now if they are missing rent or skipping meals for their kid, that's a different argument.
Bro you are absolutely right but you are talking to a dead horse. In America, they don’t teach economics so your comment will not be received how it should.If I was willing to get something for slightly above retail price and some moron spends $ 700 on it, that opens the floodgates for people to say "that guy spent so much on it, I'll raise the price as well, there's money to be had" and at that moment I'm ****ed if other people follow suit. That's why I care in some cases. I cared when people bought Jordans for double and triple retail in 2012-2014 because I wanted those shoes too.
I guess the whole "don't look in other peoples wallets" is an american thing but you can't be so simple-minded regarding the issue if it has implications on you too. It's kinda like rent - rents for apartments blew up in Berlin during the last decade. Now you could say "I don't care if somebody pays x amount of rent, that's their money" until it comes back and bites you in the *** when the other landlords followed suit. That's why you have laws regulating how much you can raise the rent at once for a period of time.
Now before people complain - I'm not comparing shoes to apartments. One is a necessity and the other is a luxury. But the principle is behind it is the same. If people begin spending more, other people get screwed over.
I just find it extremely bewildering that the "hey guys, these shoes are really special, so we just made 20 pairs of them, maybe you'll get them, maybe not"-shtick still works so consistently after so many times. That's nuts.
Smh...okay for those who like to dissect. No they do not willingly teach economics. You have to actually go study (in college). They introduce us to economics but they never really made it apart of core curriculum like it should be. It’s an option and most kids don’t know what economics is in the first place to be interested. FYI: I’m American with a Masters in Economics.They dont teach economics in America????
You're asking someone to pass on a shoe they want so that it can be more affordable for you. Stop and think about how silly that is. Should I pass on a nice restaurant so they have to lower the prices for you too? Come on man, that's just dumb.If I was willing to get something for slightly above retail price and some moron spends $ 700 on it, that opens the floodgates for people to say "that guy spent so much on it, I'll raise the price as well, there's money to be had" and at that moment I'm ****ed if other people follow suit.

It's not about me, it's about other consumers in general.You're asking someone to pass on a shoe they want so that it can be more affordable for you. Stop and think about how silly that is.

Different sizes are valued differently. Id check and see what your particular size is worth vs the size you want. Then you can start spinning your wheels about a fair swap price.Yeah really wanna wear them but may try see if they will give me for 30 or dare say 20
If they consumed only veggies like SW they wouldnt have money left for shoes, ****'s expenisiveWell they could have exchanged $700 for 4500 miles of transportation.
But they ride eco-friendly bicycles, and consume only veggies like SW.
So they don’t need that gas money, they can spend on Air Max 97/1 Sean Wotherspoon.
They didnt go anywhere, they just all moved to the 1s. The model who's price they didnt mess with, and the only model that truly matters anymore.resellers are parasites that eat off the momentary hype that shoes have just to make a few bucks, a pain for those of us that used to be able to buy everything we wanted.
If these were so "special" they should have had a higher price tag to limit resale, like they did with Jordans and Foamposites (which eventually caused the beasts to go elsewhere)
So you're upset with the resellers, not the person with money willing to pay the reseller? And honestly it has to do more with your viewpoint than anything. I get it from your view, but if you look at it from the view of someone with money, the reseller is providing a service. A person with money is more than fine with paying someone to source something for them.It's not about me, it's about other consumers in general.
Also your analogy with the restaurant doesn't quite work - it would be more fitting if somebody bought up the whole days worth of menu of the restaurant, opened up a makeshift store a couple of blocks next to it and sold it to you for double the price the food would've cost if you went to the restaurant which does't have any food left.
Fancy restaurants are pricey by default. That's a difference you can't ignore in your analogy. If Nike started making sneakers at that price point as retail items, they've lost me as a costumer.
There are many parasites in the world of economics. Which is what this sneaker thing is condensed and sped up.resellers are parasites that eat off the momentary hype that shoes have just to make a few bucks, a pain for those of us that used to be able to buy everything we wanted.

Thanks man.
As for the shoes...I had the same concerns, but literally the only two things I've ever sized down to a 13 in are Timbs and Chucks, so I stayed with the 14 and it fits just fine. There's a bit of extra room lengthwise, so if a 13.5 existed I would probably want that...but I KNOW a 13 would be cutting it very close in length and would definitely be too narrow, even for my narrow feet.
The only way I'd recommend a 13 is if you're cool with super-tight shoes and want to rock them unlaced.
