Are we saying certain pairs are flops because they aren’t reselling for some convoluted inflated price? If that’s the litmus test we’re using for whether or not something is a “flop”, then that is absolutely ridiculous. And keep flopping then so I can buy what I want for a reasonable price.
They only sell out because resellers buys all of the hyped shoes… those shoes just moved to reseller’s shelves,,, they were not really bought by fans so they’re were not truly sold out…
People love to forget that extra $10 price raise on Jordan 1's really turned off a LOT of buyers, people did not want to be spending $180 on it and the market has shown that.
Think you need to take the economic factors into account with some of these sneakers, especially AJ1s. Cost of living is really high and there's less people keen to constantly drop money on sneakers new from Nike or expensive previous releases, leading to a price decline across the market.
2020 is a blimp. You gotta look at the numbers before Covid. Everything is down when you compare it to 2020. Collectibles like cards, watches, and sneakers.
Drake is not a fashion icon so of course Nocta is a flop. Same story with Ivy Park being a flop. Two extremely popular people that aren’t considered style icons and their lines suffered as a result
I actually disagree; peeps were buying pairs for $300-$500+ from resellers, why is it they not buying them at $200 now they available. It’s the increase in stock levels b/c resellers are not hoarding the pairs making for false scarcity & sales volume # inaccurate. (Nike return policy don’t help)
Some of the Jordan 1s released this year we're pretty good but some I wasn't really feeling and I'm surprised the Royal reimagined is still sitting. As for the Off White Force one mids, the first two color ways were the best in my opinion.
People ended up being crybabies over the 720s, they ignored the TW’s - and both are awesome - so Nike backpedaled and essentially made a hybrid AM with the Pulse.
Nike kept releasing and pushing 1s and dunks and started releasing really shit colorways, Nike, adidas, Disney etc just milk things until there dead and then bring it back years later when everyone forgets they have been doing this forever.
No, frankly it's amazing for us, average and not that rich sneakers amateur to see the hype (and so the prices) go down. We can finally enjoy some timeless pair of sneakers without having to pay crazy amounts.
Ngl although i liked a few of the colorways of Jordan 1s, the market is flooded with so many Jordan 1s and 4s and it's getting a bit repetitive for me. Wish they released more unique ones or collabs instead (like blazers did).
I personally think the white cement 1s are awesome, I had been wanting them since they came out and i got them, but other than that colorway i think the 1s have been on a decline
I think as far as dunks and Jordan 1s I see people still wearing them but at this point if you wanted a pair you probably have it in multiple colors. So in two years when these pairs are beat people will wanna reup
I think Nike is trying to put snares in the resell game because it's turning people off from the brand and they are a major company not a boutique. I'm glad the Yeezys were available too I got three pairs of popular designs for 600. Again reseller markets are the ones that put hype and value on the show not the company
If Nike only has those Air Force’s left for off white they should drop 1 every year or longer cause it’s low key ruining the off white brand I rather have none of these then some should have just scrapped the release after the green pair
Elliot. I own dozens of Yeezy’s and let me tell you something. Yeezy’s are going to be worth fortune in 20 years. Mark my words, do not let go of any of your Yeezy’s ladies and gents.
Do you think the interest has gone away from Jordan 1 or that Nike manufactured more of them to combat resellers? The way t used to be was you could walk into a shoe store at any time and buy a Jordan 1. During the pandemic even mids were hard to get. Now they have so many, like 2 OG and 4 mids releases every month. Are they selling less or did they manufacture more and people do not have to pay "Timmies" $350" for a $170 shoe. It seems the same thing is happening to 3s and 4s.
The popularity of sneakers seem to always go through highs and lows. The Jordan 1s are just really boring and like you said they made a zillion of them, just like the dunks. The worst Jordans ever though are 2s and 11s. The 2s are just weird looking and the 11s are just flat out horrible looking.
its oversaturation. people dont like the model, the like what the model represents. people are more into curation now, a jordan 1 from 2013 or 2015 is a lot cooler and takes you back to a certain era. Thats my take atleast, vintage will always hold value, nike is just milking the resell game now
Sorry but Satin Bread and Suede Royals was straight cheeks. Not only did they rerelease a super rare shoe which was always just pricey due to rarity, but they put suede on a classic all leather Jordan 1. The washed black and the lucky green cool tho.
Let 1s sit!! I love being able to cop for retail. It'll be the same as when Dunks fell off and now there super hyped again. Jordan 1s will sit for a few years and some wack rapper or influencer will be seen wearing em and hype will be back
I think the reason there are so many Off White mid colourways is that nike would have had to invest in new tooling equipment for that midsole so they will need to make a lot of pairs to justify the cost involved. There is still at least one more colourway to come too, the black graffiti's. I don't mind them but i think the Off White x Nike Terra Forma is a way better shoe
I knew when the stupid foam shoes became popular that this would be a trend to be gone soon. I didn’t think it would die this fast, but I’m happy they did. They’re ugly
ehh glad I don't look to the internet people for shoes only pair of those shoes that would touch my feet in any color is them jordan's. the rest are hideous .what did they do to the force 1 mid the bottom got spikes on the front smh. maybe I'm to old school lol

Welcome to the new world. Where if everyone can have it. It’s worth nothing.
Yeah saying a sneaker is a flop for any reason other than it not being nice looking is corny
Maybe he's saying FLOP for resellers.. but for us consumers it's the greatest thing happened 😁
They only sell out because resellers buys all of the hyped shoes… those shoes just moved to reseller’s shelves,,, they were not really bought by fans so they’re were not truly sold out…
Just like HES kicks. Saying a sneaker is a flop because its low on reselling sites
as a casual sneaker enthusiast in Indonesia, it's a win for me, now I can get sneakers that usually hard to get for a retail
Im still going to wear my 1s and yeezy.
People love to forget that extra $10 price raise on Jordan 1's really turned off a LOT of buyers, people did not want to be spending $180 on it and the market has shown that.
Especially for a low quality uncomfortable shoe

It's still higher than prices before COVID, but it's closer.
covid overinflated prices on sneakers. you must be young. you need to compare to 2019 numbers not covid times.
2025 is about to get more expensive and you’ll see when the economy will get a downturn
Drake is not a fashion icon so of course Nocta is a flop. Same story with Ivy Park being a flop. Two extremely popular people that aren’t considered style icons and their lines suffered as a result
Best news for customers that want a pair without paying resell price.
I wished the Jordan 11 concord flopped. Maybe I could've copped a pair without getting robbed or stabbed or have to go to Stock X.
adidas fear of god will probably be the biggest flop of 2023
Danng you think?
@@elliotpage_ hope not lol but they slackin!!
@@elliotpage_ please tell us what flannel you're wearing in this video everybody wants to know
The real, simple reason 1's have flopped because their price has shot up - which nobody talks about - and the colourways have been incredibly weak
I actually disagree; peeps were buying pairs for $300-$500+ from resellers, why is it they not buying them at $200 now they available.
It’s the increase in stock levels b/c resellers are not hoarding the pairs making for false scarcity & sales volume # inaccurate.
(Nike return policy don’t help)
Even though there was so much Yeezy stock I still missed out on pairs like slides
That’s crazy there was so many pairs and so many color ways u sure u signed up on confirmed for all of them ?
Can I get info on your overshirt? It’s super dope!
This is ridiculous....this isn't selling for an insane amount so it's a flop. With so many sneaker channels out there, you're better than this one man
The Jordan 1 is too high priced now. They were hype at 125 but for 180 they ain’t it
Love that funnel shirt jacket. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 where’s it from?
What about the Air Max Scorpion???
What brand is that flannel you’re wearing
I also hated yeezys until 2023 so this aint the flop year, this is legit the first year wear yeezy jumped over jumpman
Hot take: panda dunks are mid
Some of the Jordan 1s released this year we're pretty good but some I wasn't really feeling and I'm surprised the Royal reimagined is still sitting. As for the Off White Force one mids, the first two color ways were the best in my opinion.
Just be honest to ourselves... inflation is so high everywhere,,, people are now focus on buying food and basic necessities...
Seen a size 11 2016 AJ1 black toe going for $399 and OG Royal 1s for $347 on stockx last night. Thats insane, sneakers are 💀💀💀🥀
Jordan 1s are dead
I remember seeing the noctas at a nike outlet and thought they looked kinda cool but then I tried them on and they looked like shit on feet 🤣
People ended up being crybabies over the 720s, they ignored the TW’s - and both are awesome - so Nike backpedaled and essentially made a hybrid AM with the Pulse.
Nike kept releasing and pushing 1s and dunks and started releasing really shit colorways, Nike, adidas, Disney etc just milk things until there dead and then bring it back years later when everyone forgets they have been doing this forever.
I feel that Nike should do a Retro version of the “Back to the Future” sneakers. People would probably like that
No, frankly it's amazing for us, average and not that rich sneakers amateur to see the hype (and so the prices) go down. We can finally enjoy some timeless pair of sneakers without having to pay crazy amounts.

What's the website that has the discounted prices on Yeezys?
Used to be a Jordan Collector. Realized the technology is outdated and I rather buy a comfortable shoe.
I picked up the statics and did a lace swap with white laces and man let me tell you those things go hard bro.
1s just cost to much for the poor quality in materials
they never flopped if they sold out its just resellers being salty
Big Jordan 1 fan and so glade I’m able to comp them easily.
Hi, I really wanted to have some Jordan 1 UNC toe, the problem is that they no longer have them at Nike
Can you sell yours to me?, because they are the only originals
Love your Vid keep up the Work !
foam snicker is overrated. bought one & don’t like it.
It’s inflation and war. Ppl would rather feed themselves than keep buying shoes they don’t need
What’s the site for the discounted yeezys’s
I personally think the white cement 1s are awesome, I had been wanting them
since they came out and i got them, but other than that colorway i think the 1s have been on a decline
White cement 1s are great. Remind me of supreme sbs
When the dunks was dropping left and right you and every other sneaker channel was eating it up fr.. I hated the dunk era
Good time to buy the shoes you want 🙌. Love my Jordan 1s
❤🖤
... and a big thanks from me who buys sneakers to wear them and not to flip. Saving myself some good money
Is there any hype for the air max evo
Also sneaker reselling is on the decline so these new releases aren’t gonna hit like they did during the pandemic
Am I the only one that thinks drake should stick to rapping and not making sneakers cause they are mad trash
I think as far as dunks and Jordan 1s I see people still wearing them but at this point if you wanted a pair you probably have it in multiple colors. So in two years when these pairs are beat people will wanna reup
When are we going to get an update on the sneaker room?
I think Nike is trying to put snares in the resell game because it's turning people off from the brand and they are a major company not a boutique. I'm glad the Yeezys were available too I got three pairs of popular designs for 600. Again reseller markets are the ones that put hype and value on the show not the company
Airmax 1 big bubble flopped. This one didnt do well like the non big bubble in OG colorway.
Bro the SB dunk is literally keeping Nike in business.
that 2024 pair of air max looks horrendous
can anyone lmk which retailers still have yeezys online. US or ship to US please 🙏
The yellow Air force one is pretty nice...bought it in sale for 148€ 😅
Love the videos!! Nooo nocta is all I wear, not crazy about some of the new stuff but the quality and fit is amazing
If Nike only has those Air Force’s left for off white they should drop 1 every year or longer cause it’s low key ruining the off white brand I rather have none of these then some should have just scrapped the release after the green pair

Tbf the nocta glide has been a great success so far
I’m still looking for new authentic 350’s, not dumb enough to pay over retail though. ($200.00)
Sneakers that flopped in ‘23
*EVERYTHING*
Why don’t they rerelease the ones the people actually liked instead of bullshit using bullshit material.
Can someone ID the flannel Elliot is wearing?

KANYE is right after all!!!... YEEZYs for everyone!!!
Kanye is smiling right now 😂😂😂
I rather buy a Hoka shoe for practical use than a Jordan which was designed decades ago
Jorden ones are like chuck Taylors they will always be around...
I love my Jordan 1s. Don't care about the trends, I been wearing them since high school and I will continue to wear them.
Awesome for me I love Jordan 1s
I never understood Yeezy, they are ridiculous.
I Saw off white air force 1 mids at the outlets
I like the nocta glides tbh
I love the glide, they are underrated in my opinion, and look way better on feet than on pics.
The popularity of sneakers seem to always go through highs and lows. The Jordan 1s are just really boring and like you said they made a zillion of them, just like the dunks. The worst Jordans ever though are 2s and 11s. The 2s are just weird looking and the 11s are just flat out horrible looking.
Drake’s Nike line is kind of like his music. Ghost written, shallow and there to be just there.
its oversaturation. people dont like the model, the like what the model represents. people are more into curation now, a jordan 1 from 2013 or 2015 is a lot cooler and takes you back to a certain era. Thats my take atleast, vintage will always hold value, nike is just milking the resell game now
Sorry but Satin Bread and Suede Royals was straight cheeks. Not only did they rerelease a super rare shoe which was always just pricey due to rarity, but they put suede on a classic all leather Jordan 1. The washed black and the lucky green cool tho.
The Jordan 1’s problem is the rubbish vegan leather
whats the website on 8:56
Hey Eliot your sacais waffles are about to fall off 😂
make a video going over the the most comfortable shoes of 2023
Will do
@@elliotpage_yo also what was the name of the website selling yeezy slides for under retail if u don’t mind sharing
@@elliotpage_What flannel did you wear in this video? It's amazing
Let 1s sit!! I love being able to cop for retail. It'll be the same as when Dunks fell off and now there super hyped again. Jordan 1s will sit for a few years and some wack rapper or influencer will be seen wearing em and hype will be back
What retailers have Yeezys under retail?
Can't forget about the Union 1s Bephies
I think the reason there are so many Off White mid colourways is that nike would have had to invest in new tooling equipment for that midsole so they will need to make a lot of pairs to justify the cost involved. There is still at least one more colourway to come too, the black graffiti's. I don't mind them but i think the Off White x Nike Terra Forma is a way better shoe
Nike please bring back Roshe run Shoe
I knew when the stupid foam shoes became popular that this would be a trend to be gone soon. I didn’t think it would die this fast, but I’m happy they did. They’re ugly
"FLOP" because it's under retail???
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
the graffiti whites cost 280+ euro
Jordan 1 are super uncomfortable.
Yu nuh lie. I got my first pair, the Dia de muertos, and they have zoom, but still uncomfortable af
air max scorpion
Man do i live on a different planet? I didnt see any dunks until 2022 and didnt see and foam shoes until crocs made em big in 2023
i lost so much money on jordon’s just thinking about them 🤔
Last week my local Ross was full of Adifom Qs for like $35 lol
I bought the Yeezy 350 carbon beluga, foam runner clay red and azure slide to resell and never sold any of them and sitting in my room😅
As they should be and that goes for every other reseller too lol
Jordan 1 FANS or "HYPE" fan???
Don't compare us "REAL" J1 fans to people like you that are wearing them because they're HYPED 😡
ehh glad I don't look to the internet people for shoes only pair of those shoes that would touch my feet in any color is them jordan's. the rest are hideous .what did they do to the force 1 mid the bottom got spikes on the front smh. maybe I'm to old school lol
That mustache flopped in 2023 😢
Never liked the ones.
