Then certain cats are cappin talking about they only wear OGS but you see them wearing all these different collabs that’s what is confusing these youngsters, because it’s not that they don’t care they don’t know what is what?

[@JamalVarner]

@ exactly which I believe the sneaker culture will eventually be generated on callabs and not OG probably in the next 3-5 years.

[@shwnbur77]

It’s hard to pass Jordan brand unless it’s a basketball star. None of the other big 3 sports stars wear shoes that you can wear casual like basketball shoes. If anyone ever could pass Jumpman it would have to be another NBA player sponsor. I think certain OG Jordan shoes do have appeal when retro’d though. List and Founds sold out instantly and resold well. Anyone who starts collecting shoes will always want the OG Jordan’s he wore on court. However there are sone OG’s with hardly any appeal at all. I’m sure I could name at least 10-15 Jordan OG’s that would sell out instantly for retail.

[@JamalVarner]

I agree with that. The question is for how many more years will those same OG’s we grew up loving will sell out in today’s market. At some point I believe that the collabs will outsell the OG’s simply because of the hype and this generation can’t relate nostalgia of them.

[@Ermatinger503]

I’ve been saying the same thing for the last couple years. A lot of “sneakerheads” only care about resale value/hype. When I started really collecting back in the early 2000s it was all about the love of sneakers. I think a lot of it has to do with these younger folks not having the connection to Jordan that is older cats do. We watched Jordan play and saw his impact. This younger generation only knows him for his shoes.

[@caliconnected_]

Going to school in the late 90s , it was all about being fresh. Wanting the new Jordans that MJ had on during the finals and having the perfect shoes to match your outfits. Once people turned reselling into a job, the whole game flipped.

This new version of sneakerheads have a desire to buy status and social acceptance. They not in it for style, love of basketball/players. They all want to be and look the same to be viewed as “something”. That’s why double branding a product like a shoe get a ton of attention🤷🏾‍♂️

[@flaco813]

It's a hype beast culture now. Ppl don't want what's widely available shoe. It's crazy. You never heard the term "bricks" in the 90s/early 2000s.

[@chrome4841]

The OGs will always get love from those of us who repped the culture. If you weren't around when the concords dropped in 94, the fashion statement they made was memorable

[@Cornequa21]

The problem is too many ppl wanna be followers! This generation of “collectors” is all about hype and who is wearing what… ppl barely care about shoes.

[@Shoeperfreak31]

There are two problems, first the way that fashion has gone Jordan’s/Nikes are no longer the go to shoe for streetwear for the first time since the late 80s. Second, most sneaker KZbinrs including yourself consistently have placed price tag on every shoe even calling shoes bricks now. There was no term placed on shoes that sat 10-20 -30 years ago. The place sneakers are now is actually where it should be for the next generation a hobby a place where you’re able to build a collection, miss out on some shoes you might want and hunt for them for a reasonable price. The people that stay through this time will be rewarded like we all were when stuff that sat that you liked years later were worth more and you could use them to trade for something else.

[@MarioHunt-mc5zj]

The sneakergame will never be the same because of resellers n hypebeast

[@shaundabney4095]

But that's the thing, people only like Jordan's 1 - 14. Sneakheads don't buy or sell any other model. How can a company survive off of just changing the colorway on 14 old shoes.

[@henryw9258]

In general, if something is not hard to get or limited, people usually aren't buying it. When you know you can go to the store and pick up whatever shoe you want any time, there's no urgency or higher value associated with it for you to go get it immediately.

[@AlexBlock]

[@marclandis5014]

This generation has taken shoe collecting to a different level. But the bottom line is trends come and go and right now running shoes are in Jordans are not. In three or four more years running shoes will phase out and Jordans will be back. I’ve been in Shoe game for over 40 years and I’ve seen this twice before. But one huge factor is people are tired of paying high prices for shoes. Life is more costly than it’s ever been and that is a second huge factor.

The new era “Sneakerhead” either doesn’t care or they not aware of the history of OG Jordan’s that MJ wore on court. Nike seen that collabs make them the most money. When collabs started they were done with much more creativity & quality was A-1 now they just attach a name to a shoe to sell it but consumers have caught on to that as well hence why a lot of collabs don’t sellout or go below retail.

[@MixtureMediaCo]

Solid video. I think you could go after StockX and third party companies lil harder. 13-15% markup on sales and purchases really hurt the community as a buyer and seller. Also they’re making every drop 80k+ stock which kills some hype bcuz everyone like you stated can just wait and get em cheaper

[@lancerobinson9518]

I think it’s a combo of the kids just moving on from Jordan’s and Nike raising the prices. That’s why I think the Jordan’s are sitting. Jordan’s are timeless and iconic and like most trends they will comeback in style.

[@nicholasrandazzo7279]

It’s simple to me. This generation is starting to not care about Jordan’s. I’ve seen new balance and assics become a thing. It’s hyped up collabs or they are sitting on shelves. Just wear what you like and keep it moving.

[@ahmadlittle-hannibal7153]

Every region has its unique history and taste to it. Everybody is copying everything so the originality is gone. It is never been this many people who loved shoes until the internet forced us to buy sneakers. The camping days was the craziest, Covid and the overkill on selling sneakers via goat, stock x, e bay etc. so much competition and it’s not the fact people want them it’s all about money and not the goal of a sale or wearing your stuff, and some stuff you hit big on a sale, or buy and other stuff you just do it for the respect of the game. Dudes would give away that stuff if it was small/big size for them. Or sell it for the real price Mom and pop stores gone, over saturation of colors, no new productivity. It’s suppose to be quality over quantity.
