Nike's Downfall Is Here And I'm EXCITED!

[@thebigboybossy4232]

I LOVE CHINESE REPLICAS!!!

[@backpackpepelon3867]

Nah, Li-ning is legit nowadays, no need them replicas.

[@Fitsbyfree]

This is crazy

[@Fitsbyfree]

You are wild

[@MrNH718]

Nah chill. Lol

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

​@@backpackpepelon3867the only reps I like are custom shoes like the nike dunk ae86

[@pooolish334]

I knew reps would take over eventually. Resellers going broke is like christmas came early for me 👏.

[@brandonwilliams1164]

I'm a big Nike fan. But the re-sell game is garbage. Taking advantage of people because they like a certain shoe. Then charging them super outrageous prices for them. I never bit that hook.

[@Fitsbyfree]

Facts it’s outrageous

[@mitchellhahn2758]

They tried to do it with gaming GPU's but gamers weren't falling for it.

[@smokey0217]

Realistically when you get to a certain age in life ain’t nobody checking out what shoes you’re wearing. I still like shoes and I like my collection but I will never ever pay above retail for a shoe.

[@Fitsbyfree]

Facts confidence comes with wisdom and with wisdom certain things do not affect you

[@Srt3D01-db-01]

Yep no wonder why the apparent market is teens and younger people at their 20s - or youngers- . Im at my 30s and this is absurd 😂

[@marx41mans]

At 26...i was a sneakerhead At 36...i bought sneaks that my kids wanted within reason At 46 in 2024...man f*ck all this sneaker madness! I never understood thst resell sh*t or why Nike didnt correct the market years ago whennthey had the resources to do so? I buy sneakers and clothing I can wear to work and as cheap as possible, and thats with everything head to toe. Speding ridiculous amount of money on things like sneakers will only have you WISHING you had all that money back ib the future...its not worth it in the long run.

[@DV-ou1yu]

Facts, I'm 37 and learned at 26 it was a waste of money. Best decision ever

[@DrewLee.]

Hate to say it but the dad shoes are taking over 😂

[@Fitsbyfree]

Facts Dad finally got the milk

[@bball3048mm]

I am a huge fan of Jordans of the 90s. Jordan 6, 10, 11, and 12 are my favorites. I can't wait for them to come out and buying them retail.

[@lboogie8165]

Baby come back bit was hilarious bro 😂

[@Fitsbyfree]

Ty bro 😂😂😂

[@djdannycosmo]

That joke was outside I was laughing so hard!

[@teoleno4019]

We do buy sneakers. It's just that most people have moved to On's and Hokas.

[@Fitsbyfree]

This is facts Comfort is becoming really important we making a purchasing decision

[@dumpsterfire111]

and NewBalances! I have begun my unc arc with the dad shoes.

[@amitzs]

Need to drop the retail prices. Clearly their price points are too high. Quality and materials have diminished over time. I remember the $10 increases were for better materials. QC has gone to crap.

[@TheJoe89jan]

Nike needs to discontinue all their classic Jordan’s and retro them/release them every 6-8years.

[@tonypass15]

Until I can buy Jordans, air max, Penny's, etc without having to be there right when they drop and still risk not getting a pair, Nike ain't going nowhere.

[@DopeBoysofAtlanta]

WE ARE SO TIRED OF THESE RESELLERS!! They’re the ones who fucked up the market. We don’t wanna pay double or even triple retail price for shoes. That’s madness. These companies need to disable apps letting bots buy a bunch of shoes. And limit everyone to 2 pairs a piece

[@Blkknowitall]

I’m a big Nike and Jordan fan, I am glad that Nike stock price is dropping like a mug. I’m glad that reseller is dying slowly and bleeding out. I am glad that the market is tanking, is not that we as a retail consumer is tired of buying sneaker, it’s the greed of Nike keep raising prices on the sneaker smh. Greed is their own downfall. Nike have to come back to reality that this is not 1980 anymore where they afford to lose money on the ban 1s or fine on each NBA games. This is 2024, like it’s more of hype than the love of a game of collecting sneaker now.

[@djdannycosmo]

My Favorite Channel is singing " Baby Come Back " in the first 60 seconds it's coming in hot! My favorites as alternatives now to sell ! or wear 1) Hoka 2) OnCloud 3) Altra 4) New Balance 5)Brooks

[@shareefaleem4144]

Great time to get Nike Stock and get in the resale game......

[@Fitsbyfree]

Debatable

[@RebelZoe1804]

Huge Nike fan but since I’ve gotten into barefoot shoes I can’t go back. Maybe the Nike Zoom StreakFly for road running

[@djdannycosmo]

Whitin Is Amazons Barefoot and I like it better than Vivo Barefoot

[@RedHotKnicksTalk]

Nike definitely deserves all of this , tried to control both retail & resell markets and it blew up in their faces. Another reason they didn't foresee was Gen Z & young tik Tok going for a more polish look in outfits and cause they were taking L after L on SNKRS they all moved on and haven't looked back

[@Fitsbyfree]

Facts you either find a way or make one

[@ChrisRobato]

Nike store I know has been displaying running shoes like Pegs, Infinity RNs and Invincibles instead of sports style, retros, and athleisure. This is a realization of a new trend. Nearby a New Balance store didn't front display the Dad shoes but 1080 running shoes instead. The trend now is running and comfort, with trail running close behind. Adidas is still on the retro Samba spin though, but one day it's going to bite them too.

[@Fitsbyfree]

Comfort is key fam

[@ghazley85]

I think ppl just following the new wave at at the moment. Soccor dad /running shoes are the new trend. Also, if kicks are widely available. Ppl don't wanna buy em. Real OG sneakers heads are happy to get retai/under retail W's. Real OG's are outnumbered by Hypebeast/resellers/ ppl who just follow trends... Only thing Nike need to do now is make collabs obtainable. And resale is officially dead. Appreciate the content bro.

[@Fitsbyfree]

This is real facts man. People are waking up and making smarter decisions. Ty for the support bro it means a lot!

[@RUBY_REDWULF]

I’m trying to get the black canvas Jordan 4s but I’m not paying 400 bucks for them.

[@Fitsbyfree]

Do whatever you feel like you need to do

[@iShredStreets]

Also bring back the AM90 Infrared. I don’t want to pay 300+.

[@Fitsbyfree]

[@cassandraclark5499]

[@istoleyunomilesbigmac]

i'm glad nike has to innovate again as their quality is pretty low nowdays, although some for example the ultraman dunks have good quality

[@rose4mvp2012]

Its sad because even all the shoes they drop where they try to bank on our nostalgia fail and don't even sell out. It's funny because these past few years have probably been the best era to buy Jordans and Nikes in long long long long time. Man just about everything I've wanted I got on sale this year. It's really crazy how reps have taken off since the pandemic, like I remember a time where if you even brought up the idea of owning fakes you got laughed out the room now nobody cares. Nike's quality control has been so terrible the past couple of years that certain reps have better quality than the real thing and that is a fucking terrible. Nike only has themselves to blame.

[@Fitsbyfree]

Facts Nike just needs to look into the mirror

[@qv2k385]

Managed to get a couple of yeezy 350’s for retail or under and two pairs of HOKAs this year which will set me for a real long while. Im all about comfort and I learned a long time ago i could care less about these over saturated Jordans that hurt my feet. Watching resellers hoard and even buyers just buy em to never wear has always made me laugh.

[@alexibarra4675]

Blaming Resellers while NIKE JUST RINGS IT IN WITH ZERO INNOVATION is crazyyyyyyy

[@alexibarra4675]

Resellers are part of it, but it’s real Nike not doing anything new

[@maxdelgadillo6595]

Been switching to Adidas or New Balance. Haven't looked at Nikes since then

[@highendtrends3508]

I can’t lie I stopped buying sneakers years ago, most of my friends to. Resellers fuked the whole game up. Not to mention seeing sneakers for 20k is just crazy. Plus I’m to old now to buy sneakers that I liked years ago. Easy part is the young kids don’t even care about kicks 💩 is gonna hit hard in a few years.

[@mrman3523]

Where the hell are these stores with all these dope kicks?

[@jazzyjaliyah580]

I bought a lot of sneakers this year even some at retail. Im done buying sneakeds

[@XRated129]

I only buy nike running/walking shoes for work. I would never buy a sneekers past $200. I'll pay that for some timberlands tho. 1 pair last me two years. Plus some dr scholl's to get some extra from them boots. Ooooooohhhhhh boy No 🧢

[@MrNH718]

Pegasus 41 is still awesome though. But yeah, as the hypebeast peeps get older it becomes lame as hell having 100 sneakers you never wear

[@oddt.4344]

It’s not that I don’t want to, trust me I truly do just more like can no longer afford to realistically. And sadly😢

If there is a shoe I really want and I can’t get authentic shoes at retail I always get reps Lol.

[@Fitsbyfree]

That’s fair I can understand that

[@cassandraclark5499]

What people don’t understand is reps don’t look like they did 20 years ago them mf look better than the retail pair 1:1 when I seen that I knew these sneaker companies were in trouble just by the price being cheaper and they look like they came off the Nike production line IJS

[@hollow_w33n]

honestly, nowadays i just want a decent and comfortable shoe that’ll look good with anything without breaking the bank, and nike is none of those four. i’d rather just buy a pair of vans atwood deluxe or any running shoes that are on sale and call it a day.

Vans are clutch bro and they’re cheap

Nike, in particular resellers, were able to come up and really take advantage during the Covid years but now that we’re back to normal and can spend our money on other, better goods and services now they’re getting that karma for taking advantage of the situation. I would much rather spend my money on experiences. You can take a vacation for the price of some of these shoes

[@bigbuzin555]

Resellers aren’t the problem and have never been. Resellers always existed. The issue is Nike started mass producing their highest selling product at an even higher price point. Nobody is buying them because resellers can’t make money on them. The resellers kept sneakers scarce. Which is what makes them hype. Everyone wants the sold out shoe.
