Man I just missed on elephants in a Phoenix shop. They had an 11 and I called to make a trade. They would’ve gone for it but the elephants had been sold and just not removed from their site yet. So close.
The hunt continues.

It is weird how the toe box shape on the Monarchs are different from the other 2 pairs that have released so far. You would assume all 4 pairs would have the same build.

If it wasn't Nike we talking about then yeah would be weird. Kings of inconsistency when it comes to materials / shape imo.

The 'Monarch' were made at a different factory than 'Noise Aqua'. I haven't seen what factory the 'Rush Maroon' were produced at yet, but if they're similar in structure to the 'Noise Aqua', I'm assuming they were made at the same facility. Nike produces Air Max 1 at several factories, many times simultaneously, so there are bound to be some discrepancies even within the same styles. In its entirety, Nike currently produces footwear at about 130 different factories.

The one thing that throws me off about the Waves is the mesh toe box design. I like the profile just not the aerial view.

Much appreciation to

for the Monarchs. Proving the community aspect of NT can still exist with a solid oop instead of a resell flip. Thank you, hope to return the favor some day.

Agreed, I’ve had friends who haven’t bought air maxes in years tell me they want them. Not sure why, but I feel like they’re going to be crazy hard to grab

Only real winners so far has been StockX and GOAT with the fees being collected from buyers and sellers, and the government with the taxes they collect.

Technically the gov't only taxes the gain on the resale (the resell price received less the amount initially paid) so they're not double taxing anything. Rather, they're just taxing the full amount of the gain on the goods sold and the tax is divided between the manufacturer, (retailer), and reseller.
We could just let Nike sell directly on the secondary market and they would have to pay taxes on that same sale price. You would no longer profit as a reseller, but hey at least you wouldn't have to pay taxes!

Reluctant to say these are Old Navy jeans 85% cotton, 13% polyester, 2% elastane. Used to only buy Levi’s 511 and 512 but they are 99% cotton and blow out in the knees and seat after an hour or two and the crotch rips easily. Tried these because every other jean I tried felt like leggings. I was surprised at the durability and fit, because I don’t wear anything else from Old Navy because it’s all poor quality to me and doesn’t last. I’m not a denim head either so I don’t go for the premium jeans.info on the denim? they look like they don't have elastane which I hate...may be in the market for a new pair of jeans
