@Vnt3vnd3tta Rightttttt and 100% agree with you. The sneaker community is so out of hand at this point. I buy because I generally love sneakers. There is some hype I have passed on because I generally don't like them. Example the 4's that are coming out. No offense to others, but I am okay. ✌🏾
I'm a 58-year-old woman who somehow wound up going down a rabbit hole of sneakers over the last 2 months. What has been hard for me to understand is why so many young and old pay so much for a sneaker that's mass produced and is intended to be sold for $100 sometimes less sometimes a little more. I understand collecting many things as a hobby as well as collecting sneakers but I just thought it was/is to pay ridiculous over retail prices for once cut open (insert Rose Anvil) was just a bunch of cheap fabric and foam put together in a pretty package. To some degree I put this on the manufacturers that need this type of hype to create scarceness and the FOMO. I'm not into basketball shoes but they were just a few Converse, or New Balance, or vans that I liked and clicked on only to find out they were three $400 when the retail price was $80. Nope. It's nonsensical.
Got into the game around 2021 never resold anything I was in it for the hypebeast stuff but eventually I started carving my own path and bought shoes I truly like. Honestly you’re the reason i became interested in older basketball shoes
I agree unc I just got the reds for retail pretty easily and I have gotten a lot of old 4s from 2004-2019 for under 200 or alittle more if they are really nice like I just got the mists for 270 og all and the sole is fully firm and early cracking
Yeah bro, that’s crazy that you mentioned that I’m from Baltimore that’s all we wore in high was new balances!! 😅 and I definitely just picked up those new 9060
Absolutely agree the ae 1s r far and away the best signature shoe I've seen in years. Tried to buy the storm troopers and they sold out in under 2 minutes. So I said hell with it and got em on eBay for 150 later that day. Have no regrets. Even got em for my kids as well. Can't wait to see what they do for his next pair.
Bruh 2020 for me was legit the worst , I resold about 6 to 8 shoes to my favorite store and got back a great deal and paid so many bills and still got backed up life was crazy
My size(15) always been resellers goldmine. Any shoe drop niggas going straight to the big sizes to resell. Luckily I only wear foams and dunks now I have up on j’s. People be taxing too much.
It’s more of the economy shifting than hype dying. But I guess both go hand in hand. People can’t afford many things not just shoes. Gas, food, rent. No stimulus going around, no incentive to be unemployed. (The extra money EDD was giving out to people on unemployment). Minimum wage went up and so did the cost of everything else. People can’t afford to buy shoes so freely right now. And yes it’s a good time for a genuine sneaker lover like myself to buy shoes we want but like my dad told me, money you have left over today is money you will need tomorrow. I’m currently focusing on saving my money. Although I can afford to buy many of the shoes I want, I choose to be frugal. Unless it’s an OG shoe I really want, it can wait.
I work a lot so most of the time I’m in a uniform. When I’m not, might as well be in my fresh kicks. I love kicks, whatever is dope to me that’s what I rock.
Pretty much dead. People are buying what's comfortable on their feet and what 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 think looks cool and not other people. Just too much going on in the world to be making a big deal out of sneakers.
I been buying sneakers since I was 10 years old..physically running around Brooklyn on buses and trains in Brooklyn in the 90’s when shit wasn’t sweet at all …Most ppl in this community Parents wasn’t even Allowing them to wear Jordan’s because they might look like a certain demographic …Aka they didn’t want y’all to look ghetto 😂😂😂😂
Resellers are real sneakerheads. Real sneakerheads like to wear their kicks. We just like to be able to cop what we want every week, maybe two pairs a week. I love being able to be able to buy what I want again.
Reselling and being a reseller 2 different things Buying a bunch of them with the intent to sell for higher is inconsiderate I use to work at a sneaker store just imagine parents coming in to get a certain shoe for they kid birthday or sumn like that but resellers just came and brought all of them
Ich sammle seit 1992 . Ich bin froh das diese 💩 zeit vorbei ist!!! Mit Reseller hab ich keine mitleid!!! Meine OG air jordan 13 hab ich sale für 100$ gekauft. Schuhe müssen wieder für alle leistbar sein 🤛
Yup and not like back in the days when it was a few like for me in the early 2000s. Mostly buying doubles and triples and not reselling, but collecting and not wearing. Back then no one was doing that and throwing on feet as soon as they got home. The only ones really reselling and buying up stock from stores were the Japanese back the in Japan.
I’ve resold shoes lol…I remember I grabbed Johnny Kilroy 9s from sneakervilla (now dtlr) back in 2012, for $160…soon as I came out the store somebody offered me $360 lol I straight sold em! I regret it now 😂
I think the second wave of “sneaker heads” came during the pandemic. The first wave came when the breads came o I think the second wave of “sneaker heads” came during the pandemic. The first wave came when the breds came out 2012, then it progressed to the original 350 boosts. but now that all of the clout and money money is gone it’s time for the people who’ve been doing it since the early 2000s to get back to it. I watched the same thing happen in the 2K community when they drop the park the community started booming from 2K 15 to 2K 17 and then slowly declined, and now that there’s no more money or clout to get everybody saying it’s dead.
Culture isn’t dead, the economy is the worst it’s been in 50 years, some people barely staying afloat let alone buying overpriced sneakers. That simple.
reselling culture and sneaker culture are two seperate things lol resell culture is dying I've been into sneakers since the early 90s before a so called culture!
Not dead just fed up with all the fake shit the new kids brought wit dat ressell shit when the og resellers were the moms and pops if you know you was there for it at least till they stopped around 2014-16
My attitude is if I really like a shoe I'll pay maybe $50.00 above retail. If I absolutely adore a shoe I'll pay as high as double the retail. If a reseller wants one cent above double it's replica time. I had to go that way for the Jordan 4 Union LA and I love them and enjoy that I didn't pay those greedy mutha fuquas a dime
Sneaker heads stack their sneakers and wear them not resale them flight club stadium goods are resellers they buy the sneakers from the same site we do foot locker and charge the general republic triple
Reselling is dying. Finally. Buyers market has arrived.
Ain’t that the truth
💯
The resale market is dying because the stores are actually making more quantities of the most popular shoes and that killed the resale game
Thank god 🙏
Real sneakerheads will stick around the lames will fade. Rinse and repeat
Incorrect.. dat sht dead ah 😅😅😅😅
allat resellin sht ova wit 💯😅😅😅
@@MPC010 if u in the sneaker game 2 resell u a lame

If u like copping shoes ; then have them being 50 precent off 2 days after release more power to you 🫡
Real sneaker heads are fresh from head to toe..and they wear more than jordans..dunks and high end labels..
Most resellers are bammas!
I’ve been sayin this too bro. Resell culture is what’s dyin and I love it!

great title.I agree Totally.Stay like that.Peace King Salute from NorfPhilly
The resell culture was crazy, them bots was crazy. I miss the days where you could just cop what you want.
Yep, main reason why I stopped buying js. I stick to vans and air forces simple
Yezzir!!! Im loving it right now
To be honest, right now is one of the greatest times to be a sneaker lover. Even if you are a reseller - buy low sell higher in the future...

Good let it die. us that actually enjoy kicks and not seeing them as a cash cow can finally pick up some nice joints for a reasonable price

Watching AE 1’s sell out it’s impossible 🤣 Sneakerheads buy what they like simple and plain!
It's down because the economy is lousy. When the economy comes back it will. This is a buying opportunity.
It needs to die I need all the heat available size 13 lmaooo
Same here
Sneaker reseller is dead!😂
WORLDWIDE
People not into sneakers they just hypebeast
TG Hopefully
Why buy shoes that breakdown over time whether you wear them or not. Nothing new coming out just a bunch or remakes that people hype up for no reason.
The hype me dislike the sneaker game.
Right I don’t disagree
