Why are lower size 1s more expensive?

[Adrianharstortiss]

So i was checking goat for some Gym reds, and i found many pairs for around 160 bucks, but thats a size too big and going down a size would see the price jumping up to 290 bucks. so i wonder why is this the case?

Killing me! I can't get my natural size because of it too! Size 8.5 is my natural size. Use to be easy to get, but not now. I'm fighting against the market now.

Because 3 demographic sets can wear them

You know, its time like this where I am grateful to be a size 13/14.

Team 10.5 checkin in, most produced size range

Because the smaller sizes are more common

Too late.

Size 11.5 gang. Easy pickins after release days. Undercutting Kings

Big feet gang will try for small sizes before their size. Money is money i guess. But that is the sneaker culture these days. Small feet gangs like us will suffer until these reseller evaporate....!!!!

Ok rant over.

Not related to production numbers?

 

[ninjahood]

lower number runs a factor too...

1s are the only shoe where big foot gang comes out ahead. Usually size 13 especially is one of the first sizes to sell out in every other shoe so we never get the sales on shoes that most other people get, meaning we have to pay retail or resell on the bulk of releases.
