THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

Thanks homie

Cmon now it’s not like resellers can forecast prices

As if they sit there and say “hell yeah I’m going to make $2 on this pair, let me cop!”. Every pair they go for is a gamble at the end of the day. For every pair they make $2 on there are pairs they probably make several hundred on. It’s like the other dude said, they try to cop everything and if they make a big profit then they’re happy, if not then it’s on to the next.

I’m sure they saw how the Travis AM1s sold for decent coin and thought another collab would keep that same momentum

stockx/taxes eats the rest.

That ruling, South Dakota vs Wayfair, was made in 2018 so we can blame that on Trump, too.

Ah, some legal back and forth in here this morning - I like to see it. lol

 

[aquatic barefoot]

Lol sorry man I still don't get it. $2 profit per pair is justifiable for resellers?

Say they got 10 pairs to sell for minimal gain of $2 profit per pair. They spent $1700 to make $20. That's hilarious any way you try to slice it.

But whatever lmao.

I don’t know what y’all expect at this point in sneakers.

Thread after thread, people come on here and wax long about how they think shoes should be distributed/bought/sold. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you think/feel cause it is what it is.

All this virtue signaling about the pure economy of sneakers is a waste. No one is guaranteed/deserves sneakers or any consumer good for retail.

If you don’t like, you can cop so many other shoes (for retail too). Or you could stop copping all together.

Problem is folks feel entitled to hype shoes. I don’t see anyone complaining about all the AJ1’s that have been restocking daily, or even less desirable AM1’s (madder roots, tree lines, etc.) that have been attainable.

But a “hot collab”? Here comes the whining & complaining

 

[vinnuendo]

I've been saying this for years, let's not forget to blame the buyers. Y'all really "need" that latest flavor of the month for $40 over retail? Homie above said the key word, mfs really feel entitled to some sneakers. Talkin bout "I've been wearing nikes since I was in the womb, I deserve to win on snkrs" man go put your $250 in the bank

 

[Leebro]

Great collection but how they are stored is even more impressive.

Hope these break downs we providing of resellers mindset is not seen as we promoting them.... we still hate them! Lmao

It’s simple economics for sure, I’m not sure what he doesn’t get about that

People complain because the perception is things aren’t fair and we really don’t have a way of knowing. And if you’ve been into sneakers for a long time then yeah you’re probably salty about the state of things where you can’t get whatever you want fairly easily like you could in the old days. If it’s online you gotta fight bots. If it’s FCFS you gotta fight 12 year old line cutters. If it’s a raffle you think the ****s are backdoored. And ain’t nobody on here trying to where GR Jordan mids like the pleebes.

 

[chubasaur]

I had to pull the trigger on both Kasinas on StockX. Oranges ended up being $220 after fees and shipping and grays were $238 after fees

First day on the internet or something? Lmao 75% of the World Wide Web is people complaining. You could always choose to not log in lol.

I had to

I don't get this

 

[hippohead]

Both pairs landed this week, leaning little more towards greys. Both are super dope in hand.

I was already all in on these but this pic made me put the bid in on Stockx!
Got my pair for $220 all in!!! Can't wait till they get here!

 

[bajanprodigy]

It really isn’t that serious guys & girls.

They are just shoes

And now the cypher’s complete.

Lol admittedly a bad choice of words. I already knew I was going to go the StockX path after losing the SNKRS draw and raffles because I wanted these so bad.

 

[ihust1e]

I just don't understand these reseller kids. Why are they all so willing to spend $170 to make a $2.48 profit lmao.

that apple pay 1-2% cash back

 

[rickrock]

 

[clarkchaz1988]

Been a great year of pickups so far. Can’t wait to add kasinas then chill for a bit.

This is what happens when they starve us for good AM1s

Ps…. Not as nice floors

how many inches for those laces on the tree lines. 45?
