Reminds me of a sneaker resell store that has closed down where I live. They have a few locations in the city at various malls, and recently I found out that three of their locations have closed, completely clearing out. As much as I enjoyed walking into these places, it's not surprising that they closed down, considering how insane their prices were. In addition to that, I don't buy sneakers as much as I used to since they're quite expensive where I live. When I was younger, I cared quite a lot about sneakers and how I looked, how I dressed, but as time went on, I realized I was only spending money to impress people who couldn't care less about me. I get that it's important to look good, to feel good, to make a good first impression on people, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to spend money to get the approval of people, especially considering how much emphasis people in my age group put on fashion.

In this economy, people are prioritizing their needs over wants-- and im here for it. Sneakers are a low-priority purchase. Screw them.

Problem is the economy gets worse and worse every single year so nobody wants to pay these high ass prices for Jordans…

No wonder people don't have any money.... spending that much on a shoe, then not wanting to get it dirty... $250-350 buys a decent hiking/work boot

At a time where inflation is high of groceries, rent, etc most young people can’t afford to buy $300-500 pair of Jordan shoes especially if there starting out working minimum wage jobs is not smart enough for he or she to blow their $500-1000 paycheque on some stupid pair of shoes. Right now, thrifting is now a new trend to find great clothing & shoes within the young people’s budget. You would never see older people in their mid-30s-60s collecting pair of shoes unless there really rich or an multi-millionaire athlete.

I used to have a retail store. I never want to be in that business again. Retail space is sooo expensive. Hes asking him so real private business questions boy. Good for the interview, but not good for the owner. I can’t believe he’s got!$170,000 in inventory and it looks pretty empty in there. I get it though, he’s a niche store

I never buy from stores like this. Maybe this one is different but i usually pop open my apps and find them online for cheaper.

@yungblackcat7 ай бұрын
I got scammed by a online shoe store. I trade 3 shoes for a preorder of travis scott sb dunks. I bought from them before. I traded turbo greens, air jordan 11 2019s and womens 2009 valentines nike air force 1. And on top i paid $70 for shipping. My first time shipping to trade during covid. I hit them up the said they was working on it. Then at the end of 2021 i stopped trying it was like they got irritated i kepted on hitting them up. You reap what you sow. The messed with God's child. So it sucked but i learned my lesson. Im not a reseller i just like rocking sneakers. A few sites i trust other than footlocker. But im glad you bounced back🙏🏽💪🏾
