Sneaker resellers not being able to flip a quick buck is why these sneakers aren't selling out. Their interference alter availability and pricing. A sneaker not instantly selling out today doesn't mean the shoe isn't good, it means the market is returning to normal. Hopefully, if shoes continue to be readily available a couple things happen: A) Retail prices lower B) Brands start making a real effort to drop more exclusive with better materials and less "GE"s. C) See "A" and "B"... In my opinion sneaker resellers are bane to real sneaker heads, such as myself, but I respect the hustle and their need to grind. But I'm saying...

I knew it was weird for them to have stock, but I WANTED them even if there is less hype on them. Since then, I've bought "lightly used" on ebay the True Blue 3's, NGR Tinker Hatfield 3's, and Green Glow 4's for like 700 total under "new resell". Just getting started and trying to catch up on the past decade.

Some are harder than others still to get, but there hasnt been a single drop all 2023 that i wasnt on nike and able to order at 9 when they released. I think fear was a nice release. I dont care what resellers think is hot. I just watch the reviews to see how certain shoes look on foot and in hand sometimes before ordering if im on the fence.

I think it has nothing to do with it not being an issue I just think the whole Sneaker market is down in general. Nothing is doing good even t The shoes that we’re going for a lot of money a couple years ago came down a lot in price. People are being more selective with their money And Jordan brand, decided to release the shoes during Christmas season and a lot of people are passing especially since they decided to release 50,000 sneakers in the month of November which was kind of stupid in my opinion , the shoe should’ve been a September or October release… saying that I copped because I think they are amazing and I’m glad they didn’t make them like the original. I’m glad they made them with the updated shape and better materials. Also, I am waiting for those fear 5s also.
