[@theomorris8222]

Right

[@cashcarti8532]

Sneaker culture isn’t dead, but there are many factors that play into why it’s where it’s at rn. I personally fell out of love with sneakers when expensive meant 🔥. The state of the economy is also an obvious one. The trajectory of trends has also meant that people who were only into sneakers for hype have now left to glaze other things, which leaves people who’ve been down for the culture from the start. Which makes it look like the culture is falling off, but really it just got weeded out. The point of entry is also another one in my opinion. If I wanted a pair of Travis 1s but can’t afford them, I’m forced to buy Mochas.

[@pedrorojas0116]

Yea it's not dead at all just people have other priorities and responsibilities that are more important than getting the latest heat or just grails in general, the economy is bad rn which is the most obvious reason why people ain't buying rn bc they can't afford to do it when everything is going up in price, not all of us can get money from our youtube channel/businesses.

As a New or current sneakerhead collector it is a great time to buy! The ability to go to a store and pick up a pair of Jordans or Dunks for retail or on sale is great!! I know resellers are in their toughest positions right now to stay afloat in the resell market. Resell is the lowest it has ever been and not in demand as it use to be. I think Nike and Jordan are doing a great job in keeping the future reselling to a minimum.

[@pedrorojas0116]

Yea thank God that it hit the resellers this hard, they're the main reason why the sneaker industry got so bad and expensive, I literally struggled to get a GR release of any Jordan's 4 years ago and it was irrating how everything was released with such limited numbers and how that caused everything to go up to ridiculous prices, like 300 for some mediocre looking pair of 1s was the most ludicrous thing I saw in my whole life as a sneakerhead, I noticed last year how prices were going down and how more accessible some pairs were than before which gave some hope that maybe everything might go back down to normal/cheaper prices. Rn is the best time to get pairs you want

[@EWHITEFLIX]

Big Jonny wit the wisdom once again lol

[@bern717]

It’s official: resell is dead. A majority of ppl ain’t paying top dollar for hyped shoes or clothing anymore. That’s a fact. The oversaturation didn’t help but pair that with the economy and rising prices … the writing’s BEEN on the wall ✍️ It’s clearly a conflict of interest for Richie and the gang considering they have a resell store though

[@DammitBobby]

For real prices for everything have been going up while wages have been stagnant across the country since the 80s.

[@pedrorojas0116]

It's just not worth it or wise to spend so much money on kicks rn, people have bills and things to take care of with horrible economy we have at this moment

[@bern717]

@@pedrorojas0116 Yes exactly. I also think .. people have kind of “grown up” for lack of a better term. Or maybe, tastes of our generation is changing so sneakers aren’t a priority anymore. There’s always gonna be kids/young adults wanting sneakers tho

[@pedrorojas0116]

@bern717 yea it's a factor as to why sales have been affected but it's not a major one atleast, not enough to make a noticeable difference in the whole industry. There have been moments in time when sneakers weren't as popular or trendy but the whole state of the industry didn't get hit like it is rn. Trust me rn people don't have the money rn to blow on some kicks that cost as much or half your rent yk. It's not justifiable at the moment and it's honestly not even a surprise a lot of other industries are getting hit very hard rn

[@bern717]

@@pedrorojas0116 that’s all fair. Another point is I believe sneaker innovation jus isn’t there rn. There’s only so many times we get the same Jordan retros and Dunks shoved down our throats.

[@drparham]

Just so y'all know (even though I'm sure u know by now) the "deglaze" they're referring to is a matte finish on the leather as opposed to the finish that's on the 2024 blk/rd IV

[@redsox0213]

Nike floods the market, which hurts resale but helps them. They see more of the profit. They are starting to re-release loved sneakers more often with people still buying. The re-release is meant to hurt the hoarders. I'd also add quality being a little worse means they don't last as long, hence buy again.

They fs did 😂

[@joshuaokee7447]

Honestly it’s hard to pay resale for Jordan’s when I could spend that same amount on designer sneakers or boots, that are much higher quality.

[@pedrorojas0116]

That's the biggest reason why I haven't gone back to sneakers honestly, especially Jordan's, the price is way too damn high for the quality, once I got into boots I realized that going for quality is better than going for hype/branding.

[@ThatBoiDvnny]

I agree people usually start a fit with their shoes but with the shoes they already own, which is why they'll gravitate toward buying more clothes/jewelry then with sneakers unless its a drop/collab or if they're needed and looking a lil worn. Imo

[@blutoable]

Vans need to get more recognition because they’re decently priced and kinda go with everything

This reminds me of what kanye said he wanted everyone to own a pair of yeezy's he never wanted them to be exclusive, so thats where the sneakers are heading to now if you want certain pairs its more accessible than it was from before and how can anyone be mad at that its almost like its the late 90s early 00s where you could just walk into a store and actually purchase the shoe you wanted im not mad at it

[@jamaal_ldn]

Yo, bring back the old silhouettes in new colourways like the Ken Griffey Max 1. We've seen everything, they just need to be tweaked like what Virgil did with the 10 collection. Bring back the creativity.

For real. The guys hate to admit it because they own a store.

[@TheRealNCP]

Its the same cycle every handful of years. Once popular sneakers grow out of fashion or touch with a new sneakerhead gen, prices drop, new shoes gain popularity, reselling plummits and a celebrity or influencer pops off a different model or classic colorway... cycle starts all over again.

[@bern717]

I had similar viewpoint to this (that eventually the hype/resell culture will come back ) but I think Nike has finally put their foot down and upped the supply of their sneakers to the point where most ppl can get em albeit at a slightly higher price. That simple change has affected resellers and hype to an insane degree

[@cashcarti8532]

I stopped wearing sneakers when buying them felt like I was trying to hit crypto. My style also evolved past needing sneakers as a means of elevating my outfits. Boots and loafers will work for formal and relaxed fits too. (P.S you guys still need to learn to stop talking over Nina)

I picture the reimagined 4s just like Blk cement 3s: Would I like a Blk cement 3? Hell tf no Of the 2 models, Blk cement 4s in suede are the only ones that will look right, and maybe because that’s what we’re familiar with. However leather really exclamates the shoe. It’s ok to rewrite history if it’s for the better.

[@pierredvumali]

It's not the sneaker culture which is dead... Only the people that got involved with sneakers only because of hype that moved on. So sneaker culture is back to its original state where sneakerheads are the only ones left. And of course a few more resellers than way back. Sneaker collecting is a niche thing. If you're not really passionate about it you'll lose interest.

[@charlesshootsshots1271]

Tan said the sneaker community is too big of a category. Sneakers are like video games. It was once a subculture but it's so tied into pop culture now. Yes, you have your sneakerheads but you also have your gamers. To say you're into Jordan 1's, AF1s, and dunks is like saying you're into 2k, Fortnite or Call of Duty. Nothing inherently wrong with that. When Johnny said sneakers peaked, it made me think how video games have shifted into DLC and loot boxes to pay to win. Nike found a formula with a hot collab and soon, there's a collaboration dropping almost every other week. I think this week alone there was the Trophy Room collaboration, Rayssa Leal dunks, and AMM Air Ship. Consumers are being more mindful with their decisions and straying away from buying the dunks they don't need, the Ultimate Team packs they don't need, the loot boxes they don't need, and overall straying away from those communities when the expectation is they need to drop money to stand out

[@Videogameprodigy300]

sneaks hit a Peak!! here for it as someone who loves sneakers, Used or new. but for sure times are hard when they get better no one’s spending 500 on sneakers, they’re spending it on the things we can’t get now. houses,cars, clothes, jewelry, and other things.

[@sig310]

By the way those Plum dunks sold out fast on every site today makes me think it could be going back up...maybe?

[@thecelestialknights]

[@virtuatelier3235]

the era of a massive sneaker collection is gone, practicality and quality has taken over lets be real

[@jonslife]

The hype fashion trend faded out to me and I'm more into old money aesthetics that will require boots, lace-up boots, Chelsea boots, chukka boots, and loafers. Y'all should look into it.

[@pedrorojas0116]

Yea that's what everyone is doing these days it'll change soon from that lol, when I was a senior in high school it was all about the 1s or the forces, with certain hoodies or jackets and new era hats. After I graduated it just changed year after year after that, saw blazers and dunks come back, more Jordan's being rocked, new balance was everywhere too at one point. Now it's changing into western/formal dressing. Button ups, chinos or pleated pants and boots or loafers or any kind of dress style shoe or boot. Seeing more pearl snaps and bootcut jeans with cowboy boots and the hats as well.
