The $3,000 Sneaker Nobody Wants

[@BetterWithAir]

I was one of the many who saw this shoe launch with 0 chance of getting it for retail. Seeing it resell for thousands and then being mass produced to crash the price is crazy. Definitely glad I was able to get myself a pair.

[@MathiasR1384]

I honestly didn’t care when I saw all the pics but as soon as I saw em in hand, I immediately bought a pair 🔥

[@francysantos1916]

Well said !!! It’s wild how these aren’t going to almost the limited pair considering it is literally a 1 to 1 to the 2016 pair. Of course very small differences but overall the same. It blows my mind how the market operates and these so called sneakerheads. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how are these so low in resell when they are identical to 2016? I’m not saying I’m about resell because I am not. I was able to get a W from SNKRS on these and SUPER happy because my favorite all time 1’s are the bred colorway so to have the 2016 leather pair, the patent leather and now satin, I think it’s pretty dope how this shoe has evolved over time. Great content as always and well said

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

I think the only real difference was some eyelets were chrome and these were painted I think. Other than that it's identical.

[@iAmTMCII]

I don’t hate anything about “women” sneakers.. I love sneakers period and have always purchased kicks for decades no matter the gender .

[@elroyskicks9127]

These are fine but regardless of price or availability I think everyone can agree leather looks better than patent or satin or suede .

[@sebastianibarra4693]

depend on the color way with suede, but yea suede leather and reg tumbled leather is fye

[@Willmelendz]

These are very clean! Can’t believe you can find these under retail at some boutiques. I paid resell, and would do it again 😂

[@DrEricaJones]

Yes! Ladies love sneakers too!

[@ThingzNStuffJAH]

You hit it right on the button. As a mens size 12, i wanted these but cant get them, so I'm salty but I'll live... Now if the maniere 5 doesnt come in extended sizing I'll be passed that into leading a january 6th type revolt😅😅

[@northside3701]

Bruh people are just mad its not in their size,that is what the whole backlash all about..

[@pattonPwr]

These look weird on mens feet

[@northside3701]

@@pattonPwr Were they weird in 2016 on Men’s feet?

[@pattonPwr]

@@northside3701 yes and soooo funny to see all these people trying to squeeze their feet on these for 190$. They walk like Frankenstein 😂

[@michaelzimmerman7799]

As always Kari on point! Exclusivity can be a disease. Buy the time you might have seen this I will have my pair in the mail! Can't wait!

[@nicslik1]

Where u at SP, havnt seen you 8n awhile. Need you back in the mix

[@pattonPwr]

Problem is that these are a cash grab and look weird on feet, same as these new hideous jordan 1 suede royals

[@javierbecerrajr8566]

I got my 2 pairs im happy better then paying 3 bands lol

[@Megaman.ExE7]

Seriously. All 2016 pairs are $3k+ and I understand that they have their differences but let's be real, it's the same damn shoe

[@WhatsReal401]

I’m glade I get a chance on both side lol

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

In my eyes, the numbers pairs still hold weight over the recent release but if it's just for the sake of style, then they're equal.

[@hilairetucker]

They're nice. They'll be good on any woman who pairs them right and wears them accordingly. As for the guys complaining about them, it's understandable because they are nice and they have been waiting for them since 2016.

[@No_Hype85]

Some of us wear our shoes often and these won't hold up and will look beat real quick. That's why I passed! Nice shoe but won't hold up

[@LegendaryEsq.]

To be honest, I do not like satin sneakers. I am not even sure how much I like the patent breds, and I still haven’t worn them. While I could see myself wearing a suede pair of Breds should the reimagined line come to it, I definitely would not have worn these and that is what made these an easy pass.

[@Kdot98]

people like to tell themselves any excuse on why they dont want these but the real reason why they dont want them is because they are easily accessible. this comment isnt for ppl that didnt like the 2016 pair, if u didnt like them before u wont like them now.

[@pattonPwr]

The problems is the price point and the quality. Too many releases, Xmas soon, people ain’t rich.. and these won’t age good, apart from the women’s sizing aspect

[@Kdot98]

@@pattonPwr you’re talking like you never wanted the originals. So that comment wasn’t for you. It’s mainly for the ones that wanted the 2016 version. Yeah size and holiday season is the only thing that I could understand. Quality is the same exact as the 501 pairs release.

[@imchilling]

Lol nobody has money 💰

[@sjiang120]

Those who think this shoe is trash and the 2016 one is diamond are delusional.

[@antoner09]

EXACTLY…that’s WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!!!!??? (Scratching my head) 🧐

[@yourvsco]

nike and jordan brand arent being fair. they are exclusively making a shoe that is for women and they know men will want it. they do this on purpose, they arent dumb. give extended sizes so people who want them can fit in them, lucky for me im a 9.5 so i dont have to worry about that now.

[@bman_dc]

Men are not mad because it’s a women’s exclusive they’re upset it doesn’t come in extended sizes

[@northside3701]

Exactly, if these shoes were in their size, you wouldn't hear a sound, so that is why it's getting a lot f backlash, blame they should blame Nike not the shoes..

[@bman_dc]

@@northside3701 Smaller feet gang 💪🏽

[@Surviving_nyc]

Hey if you like them get yourself 3 pairs. I think most people dont want these cause they are just 1s basically dunks which are getting played out right now, that wasnt the case in 2016. Also too many red releases cement red4s , playoff 8s and the red and white 12s dropping next week make these bricks in this current market. Also the fact that they went with anything but leather on these make them corny in my opinion.

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

The reason why they made it a women's is because they wanted it to still have some exclusivity but also wanted it to make it attainable. The resellers are killing the actual culture and this is an answer to the too much/too few pairs debate.

[@beeblack2210]

Hibbett has plenty 6to10 women. Footlocker also.

[@toptier6132]

I dont care about these being a woman's releases but the could of made the oreo 3s a men release

[@vagi7758]

I fear that the aglets wont age well

[@saberload123]

If you buy this shoe I feel you should just wear it and not sell it in the future cause no one will actually buy it when the price goes high

[@TheMailmanOfSteel]

Hate women's sneakers? I'll cop an OG color in my size whether its "womens" or not! I've got the Women's Metallic Purple highs, too. Last time I checked these all have a man's name on the side, anyways.
