[@pro-god4158]

Let me share with you the real reason why the resell market is dead. The Fed raised the interest rates from 0% to 4% plus, in order to conbat inflation. That made borrowing capital expensive and also incentives leaving your money in interest bearing savings accounts instead of flipping sneakers in order to not lose money due to inflation when interest rates were at 0%. This is why resell was a thing even before the Pandemic, which affected the supply and demand balance, thereby pushing resell prices through the roof. So PRO-TIP: If interest rates ever go back to 0... then start buying up sneakers because resell will come back with a bang!

In a market like this is where if you are serious about reselling and not selling to other resellers you can make it into a successful business.

Resale as a whole is an unsustainable industry. You pay retail for your main product because you neither manufacture it nor do you source it directly from manufacturers.

To both Nike and Sneakerheads: Be careful what you wish you, as you may just get it. Let be real, hype is the engine driving the sneaker scene. And what drives hype? Scarcity. When something is hard to obtain, we place more values on them. Now that sneakers are easy to obtain, we just don't want them anymore. That's human psychology. If we take a step back, the only reason we have 10+ pairs of any particular model in different colourways, is because we believe there are values in them. Who can go through 50-80 pairs of sneakers in a lifetime? We buy because we believe they will retain value, so when the time comes we can flip them for the next pair. Now that the hype are gone, and there are no more chases, the thrill of obtaining a new pair has been diluted. Hey we want to be able to get the shoes we want right? Nike/JB obliged. What you didn't count on is that what you "want" is different to what you thought it was.

[@albertknight1187]

Imma sneaker head from 70s 80s i njoy wearing them to have a fresh pair sneakers on feels good that's the sneaker culture not resales and comparing them n how it looked 30 yrs ago just rock them n learn the history of them that's sneaker culture

[@aurelioisguerra8112]

Idgaf if travis scott wore them and signed em, they not worth anything above retail.

[@HansLotap]

Good. Id rather buy a top tier UA than buy an overpriced shoe from a resellers.

[@2rking1]

Nike knows what theyre doing. They gonna stop releasing for a good while

[@kevincollins8620]

2007 reselling wasnt a thing.

[@Mmantis]

all markets taking a hit

[@npg4life1]

Not the stock market. It’s at an all time high.

[@danimal3199]

LETS GO BRANDON! It’s the economy bro. No one wants shoes when they need to pay bills and feed their families.

[@la-tronholston3847]

The market isn't dead until the hype sneakers are going for retail or under.

[@onofriopiccolino5166]

It's mostly because resellers are selling replicas and you can't even tell the difference between a top quality replica and a authentic pair, they even smell right but there is things that they will come with that authentic Jordans don't have like a fake Chinese Nike inventory authenticity tracking tags shaped like a Nike swoosh and fake Nike post card with instructions to take them off in Chinese with a app that doesn't work because it's not the official Nike inventory tag and post card Nike gives you at the Nike store in China. This is the shoes from Poizon that's located in China and they know how the official Nike tracking tag looks in China but they still get through because they don't have any incentive to tell you if they are fake because they don't want to lose the sale. But from going from losing a sale they are going to lose their whole business. But that's capitalism, it's about the quick buck not about sustainability

Love sneaker prices dropping and most hitting sales or outlet.. love it

[@greenhillscustomlawncarell1139]

I don’t know about other people, but I’m tired of the same shoe over and over and over. How many Jordan 1’s or 3 or 4’s do you want? Dunks too. I have a lot and just don’t feel like buying the same shoe anymore. Nike needs to create new silhouettes.
