HAS NIKE HIT THE PANIC BUTTON

[@nickpillow5692]

They did it to themselves bad quality, price increases, whack releases, limited supply,and narrow toe boxes killed it for me. People are struggling right now 125+ for a shoe look a lot different than it used to.

[@Warmwinterz]

Shoes been too expensive forever. Nothing new

[@LGM1194]

Facts

[@vlong5710]

💯 $200 I start thinking I can take a flight

[@katyrebel18]

Also when runners and dad shoes got popular people started embracing comfort over style

[@calebkent6706]

You sayin dad shoes as in…..nike monarchs 🗑️ nah af1 all day you wont see me wearin those dad shoes!

[@lanzehuffgang3417]

The truth is the market has reset its self from the sneaker market inflation of 2020 - 2022. Resale is dead so now everything is back sitting again. IMO it’s good for us we get all the grails that they are panic releasing for retail. Covid and resale culture is what had every jordan 1 selling out. People were paying $300 plus for panda dunks 😢. Let’s just count our blessings they stepped on the resale market I hope they keep going.

[@th2112]

Nike adding $5 increments slowly is killing them. Some of my friends struggled paying 180 for some shoes now they giving their business to other companies.

[@SirGriefALot]

When Jordan 1's were $160 you could afford to buy the ones you liked, but $180 with tax is almost $200!

[@LegendaryEsq.]

I was a sales associate at Foot Locker from ‘01 through ‘07 (Chicago area). Air Force Ones (lows) were $69.99 (mids were $74.99). The first price increase was by $5 a little before Nelly dropped his song in ‘02. Thereafter, the price went up another $5 and stuck for a while. Hard to believe how much they are today…

[@thegamemasterkw]

Nike finna pull out a Travis Scott vomero 5

[@user-hn8eo7sh4m]

Nike lost the casual crowd. They left to on, Hoka, and brooks.

[@cassandraclark5499]

Facts quality ,pricing,and comfort in all 3 brands can’t beat that with a bat

[@T.A.T._ThisATatoo]

Dre the Shoe G going up on KZbin. Proud of you brother. God bless

[@SirGriefALot]

People used to argue about what shoes looked better, now they argue about what ones they could sell for more money. It's going to take a few years of new sneakerheads getting into the game, building collections out of all these "bricks".

[@supa2959]

They need to cut retail and bring back models we havent seen in a while

[@batuzulu]

90% of their whole supply is overpriced and shoes come out weekly that’s what’s killing them

[@Triniman1973]

Spit game bro!!! Nike loyalists be quick to say "sneakers dead". Take a look at New Balance's July releases! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gr8Magnificent1]

Nike better retro the Yeezy line if they’re trying to bring back the hype & get back into the fight, lol. You see Adidas dgaf and look at how much revenue and attention it’s brought them by releasing everything they have in their inventory in their Yeezy collab despite no longer working with Kanye.

[@steezy7460]

Hoka and ON taking those casual customers, Nike did it right with the Vomero but more needs to be done .

[@gabe2829]

PREACH PREACHER!!!! 🙌🏾🙋🏾‍♂️🗣

[@polklovesrt10]

Bro, I am right there with you, I have a variety of different shoes outside of Nike/Jordan. I actually gave all my Jordan away when I turned 22 years old. I am glad I grew out that phase.

[@cassandraclark5499]

I have a big variety too but Jordan’s will never play out it’s the greatest design

[@iuhoosiers14]

OGs and Jordan 1 lows all I’m rocking with..but retail prices need to drop

[@calvinjefferson6475]

I feel you bro, I have never owned a all white pair of Air Force ones😅. I have plenty of Air Force ones just not the all white ones lol. The closest I had was the Rasheed Wallace patent leather and Carolina blue lol

[@rayrichard4665]

Just from being online I’ve seen people fall in love with all these new collaborations, but honestly retro Nikes are so hard to surpass because the styles were so unique. I really feel like Nike refuses to just make a retro brand or store it will literally set the streets on fire

[@Rmari00]

They need another runner the vapormax had a good run

[@Naeem008]

Shiiid af1s be on sale. Nike need to reprice shit bc they stay having a sales and 20% off codes lol.

[@merrickkostal-wu4xm]

Bro I just bought my first pair of new balances, I never thought that I would do that , I’ve been rocking Nikes and Jordan’s since 89, and no lie I’m feeling these nb’s , and they were only 150 ,j’s are 215 and 225 now ,Damn

[@zayymatisse]

The vomero’s are fire . Not gonna lie .

[@cyberpsychosis5367]

The fact that Nike are now releasing NB copycat shoes shows that they are panicking. 😂

[@Warmwinterz]

Sneaker culture is weird. Consumers ruined it

[@thisguytm3302]

I never bought a pair of white AF1s either I preferred the black(had those in low, mids, and Highs)😅😅😅😅 I did cop a all white Fila FX 100 mid tho, wore those once but still not a fan of white shoes, those was a Grail.

[@yummdiddy]

These shoes cost too damn much and they have not improved the quality to match. Stop charging me 200 dollars for plastics.

[@REVIEWSWITJAY]

Exactly! $225 for the same retro I had as a child but way less comfortable

[@URG2003]

Uncle sneaker head: Well well well if it aint jordan brand having to bring they raggedy ass prices back down 🤨

[@mohsenslim4395]

YES NIKE deserves it !

[@Keefer24]

Could be that our economy is the worst it’s been in decades. People aren’t spending like they used to.

[@cassandraclark5499]

Nike releasing the Jordan’s with the OG shape they can have a full run again if they do them right

[@donreese2413]

Talk that talk Famo

[@girthquake-xz2857]

Nike making the same cornball lean with it rock with it ahhh shoes for years

[@Yerrrr1988]

All they gotta do is give us the rare stuff they already giving us the “undefeated 4s” give us all the rare stuff that’s going for thousands in the resell market and all the Yeezy Nikes. That’s what I would do if I ran Nike

[@P0CK3T10]

Ever Since The Af1s Went Up In Price I’ve Been Going For Jordan’s Instead.

[@NwoFresh]

Raising the price has caught up with them and that's good for them Reduce the price back to 160

[@katyrebel18]

Me "good" I'm taking advantage of this

[@tylerglenn1683]

They gone have to flood the streets like crack in the 80s with Kobe’s lol kill the resale market!..retro all the 2010svbasketball shoes, elite packs etc

[@danimalman3]

They're basketball line has become very basic. Besides the GT stuff it's basketball been mesh and synthetic upper, forefoot zoom and low top. Freak 5, Ja 1, Sabrina's, KD trey 5 X, and GT cut academy all have the same tech but at different prices.

[@joshherrera8550]

I’m not a sneaker head. But I would’ve gotten the metallic green 4s if it wasn’t for the price.

[@Keefer24]

Bruh they are way below retail right now lol

[@YungToneySnow]

AF1s hell no. Dunks maybe. Depends on the color

[@Supremebasedkai]

I fucked with Dunks and Airmax because they had a vintage look when i first got into shoes. But honestly Adidas and New balance have better and cheaper models. Not to mention they crush them in comfort.

[@nycpologod_759]

I’m feeling the new balance now

[@thisguytm3302]

Dre, it's Nasty Work 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@roryhall9597]

Forces was 60 bucks when I was a teen in 2002 ish

[@lamontlauren367]

they already said they were turning towards the hoka one new balance crowd y’all sneakerheads are still in denial 😂

[@wilseph1]

Just like EPMD said, You're A Customer.

[@Dkgtrukeepingitdatruth]

Hype beast getting overated now just buy what you like .let's be realistic mf dnt like the shoe like that really let it hype behind it.just like what you really like .

[@REVIEWSWITJAY]

Nike shot themselves in the foot. Price increase after price increase, for the same shoes that are uncomfortable.

[@Platinumathlete]

Adidas is going take over for the next few years

[@delliot91]

I have been getting a lot of 1s for under $100 at finish line 🎉

[@ohio1986]

They got the wrong ceo in there.

[@MrDrsogood]

Cheapest Nike option is air max 95 on sale lol or any other air max

[@mohsenslim4395]

Nike is air max air force 1s and dunks that s it ! Personnally this year I bought a New Balance next year jordans or air max 95s !

[@wilseph1]

Give me two pairs (Cause) I need two pairs (So I) can get to stompin' in my Air Force Ones Big boys stompin' in my Air Force Ones

[@DanielLee-xo5us]

Homosexuality a sin bra

[@alexwalker4082]

The answer is yes they hit the panic button

[@coolbuddydude1]

Nike losing dominance might be a good thing. They need to stop with their new terrible designs and colourways.

[@girthquake-xz2857]

Nike makes kid shoes for adults

[@RickyVsWorld]

Its always about money. I hope you buy bitcoin dre

[@Loverboy_Lonny07]

Nike basketball lack innovation and motion. Nothing they make can be used for performance and style. Nothing can be used on and off court.

[@cjgray9352]

how about not shut down the adapt app and pissing off your customers but my collection is near the end and I am out of space with these shoes so it is about to be over with me

[@OnesTheGodBMW]

Half of y'all should work for Nike the way y'all hype up sneakers and call em bricks like it's y'all business dudes be making these companies rich reviewing kicks y'all weird

[@thesneakerdummy4699]

an that’s why there failing because they always been that new thing an other brands have been in the shadows an now that those brands have stepped out the shadows its making those other brands look fresh and innovated but are they really

[@mellupone_]

"Checks ova Stripes" Nike dont know you bro 😂Mann you not lying i sholl paid like $115 for my last pair of Af1s mannnnn

[@JaRhule]

Nike has rung every penny from their customer base and that includes the average consumer. They have alienienated the average shopper that is their bread and butter at they have focused on the draining the sneakerhead dry. People that just need sneakers for everyday wear and for their kids have resorted to trying other brands. Now that they have tried other brands, good luck getting them to come back. I have bought 0 Nikes in 2024.

[@TheWorkzBeatZ]

No creativity. Too much nostalgia. Unbalanced.
