if that 1000 on NDC number is indeed correct then i am with you on this... the market is gonna be flooded come saturday night and the days/weeks following... the majority of these are being bought only to resell... pairs have been selling for over $2K, and many will after they drop, and people putting their pairs up for sale see that and want to sell for that much too, but the market will be flooded and the number of people willing to spend that much will drop, and then so will the prices (cuz a lot of these resellers don't have enough money to have that much tied up in these for too long)... if 70% of the ones bought for box price are being bought to resell (very likely), then they have plenty of wiggle room to come down once the market's flooded and people aren't still cranking out over $2K. that's when deals for $1000 will be seen and had.
that scenario will indeed screw the people who bought for over $1,500 and are still trying to profit.
for awhile there i didn't think so, i thought these would end up in the $3K range, but if there's only 3000 each colorway worldwide, and NDC does drop 1000 pairs each color for box price, not to mention the other spots around the world who've sold for reasonable prices (anything under $1000 is reasonable on these i'd say at this point), then good luck getting as much profit off these as you thought you were...
these are super hype right now, and cats are in panic mode and dropping over $2K for 'em, and these bottom feeder resellers see that and see dollar signs in their eyes... they want to cash out and sell them for over $2K too... but just because they've been going for that doesn't mean that will keep up. it NEVER does... the market gets flooded and it comes down.
will not surprise me if that cat who was trying to "hook me up" at $2,800 ends up coming back to me in a few days willing to come down much, much lower...
funny thing is, he tried to tell me the market won't be flooded...
son, i'll go as far to say that at least 70% of these are being bought only to resell, not to wear.
the market is definitely gonna be flooded.
People are spending $3000 just because they expect the shoe to be so hard to obtain. But Nike hasn't really said much of anything besides that blurb about these being "extremely limited." They've even got stores tight-lipped about how many they have. By sending out small shipments to these boutiques - who respond by setting up elaborate raffle systems and their own high prices - Nike is making people think that their guesses were true. The beauty of it is that it's everyone's fault for thinking this, not Nike's - since when is a small shop in LA getting a shipment of 18 pairs a confirmation about anything bigger?
I've seen everywhere report that $90,000 eBay sale. Major outlets like USA Today, TMZ, and morning radio are reporting the message that "Nike has a high-profile shoe coming out and someone just paid 90 grand on it." People who want it will be scrambling even more, and people who knew nothing about it will be shocked at a sneaker going for more than their BMWs.
Nike can drop a good amount when they tweet that link. They can drop 2,000 like people have been saying, or even 10,000. But people are scrambling; they want their chance to get it, they want to beat everyone else, thousands of orders will go through in 15 seconds. No one would even know that the shoe was nowhere near "resell for $2000" levels because the backdoor marketing scheme has done its work, people are rushing at their only chance, and they'll sell out regardless.
It will only start to look that way once people look to eBay and see 100+ people trying to sell it at $2000.
By the way - phone orders and the 1 of EACH color really make it look like NDC will have a decent amount.
Does anyone know where they're doing the socks?Originally Posted by GrizzlyAnimal

They have a binder with your name on it. You sign it. They look at your id to confirm your name.Originally Posted by jumpmankb
I don't see what's stopping people from looking at those screen shots, getting a fake ID made, and showing up as early as possible to pick up someone else's pair. I hope that 21 Mercer is making these people log into their twitter accounts in front of them or something. Can anyone who has picked up pairs using this system before shed some light on what actually happens when you get to the store?
