They did ban a few skate shops that backdoored them. Out of no where, right when reports of pairs going to sellers came out, a few stores were removed from the Nike sb site. I’m not 100% sure it was bc of the backdooring but I’ve heard that is was.
Nah bro, those resellers are a cancer. I get people that resell the one pair they got on SNKRS but cheating to get tons of pairs just to resell them is criminal.
No karma won’t 😂. It’s first come first serve. Ain’t no karma when you playing by the rules. Ppl just be sick they don’t have and I get it, but damn I hate when ppl fr be salty af. Hate the game, not the player…UNLESS they using BOTS, which didn’t seem to be the case with this drop.
How are resellers scum bags I don’t get this narrative so that means every one who’s involved in a trade of some sort is a scumbag? It’s something called supply and demand, if there not breaking the law then it’s unfair to deem them scum bags
I mean if you legitimately bought a pair or two and resell them that’s cool but using bots to snatch up hundreds of pairs of a shoe without the rest of us getting a fair shot at them just to raise the price is wild.
@@jaygray825 yeah you’re right, the multi million pound industry continues to thrive because of me🥶🥶🥶 not like it’s supply and demand or anything ofc not💀
I’ve boycotted resellers. I don’t care if I have to wait 18 months to get something at retail, I will wait. Reselling stops as soon as the majority of people stop engaging with it.
I bought a pair of panda dunks off of a reseller. To be fair he got the wrong size and it just so happen to be my size “13” and he sold it to me at cost 🤣😂
Yea Nike should just make more pair and yes back-dooring and reselling are a problem but we in the sneaker community need to also take responsibility!!! At the end of the day a shoe is just a shoe and we need to remember that. Stop buying and paying resell prices. Take the mindset of retail or nothing. Even if you can afford a 1000$ sneaker realize that no sneaker is worth that much !!! These arnt necessities.
@@Jim-Halp1234yk people always say this yet there’s not just 1 or 2 resellers lmfao im sure they make enough it’s hard to “make it enough” when thousands of resellers are botting the shit outta stock coming from someone that has a friend that’s a reseller, reselling won’t stop until Nike ups it’s security and starts going against the botting problem.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Respect the hustle. These dudes are inflating a huge bubble thats gonna pop on them someday and many will absolutely lose their ass.

Don't play the game if you don't wanna
I’m seriously giving up my love for SB dunks things are just too much I’ve been wearing them since the early 200s it’s terrible now 😢 good luck to those that try later today at 12est GOOD LUCK!

I personally don’t like resellers, I hate that when I miss out on a drop then I end up buying them for a ton extra usually, it’s really not fair, but it’s their way of making money so if they have to then they have to.

Resellers are not wrong, they help generate hype and popularity. They are just part of the sneaker buying market. It's the backdoorers that's the problem. They're part of the official logistic chain which should be regulated.
Resellers are pretty much always in the wrong if they’re buying more than one pair of shoes with the sole intention of reselling. Depriving another person of something so you can flip it for a higher value is pretty damn scummy
Resellers are okay if there are ceiling for additional price. But recently they are too much. Adding 800% increase on the released price is just greedy.
I'm new to sneaker collecting, just got 5 pairs of nikes in the last couple months, and I'm already at a place where I'm like "yea reps don't seem so bad considering the alternative"
@@SJNaka101 in my opinion it’s worth it. its alright to buy retail but when resellers buy it then they’ll upcharge them because of how popular they are. resellers either tell you to buy from them or find and alternative but with reps you can buy anything you want for a cheaper price with a similar or even better quality than retail.
honestly you can't blame the resellers like they knew he's gonna die, their job is to bulk buy shoes and resell them so its fair game and good for them because they will get money
At least reselling is slowing down and overall not profitable anymore for typical sneakers. Yeah random sb dunks and nicer Jordan’s still are profitable, but a lot of times with the added fees reseller guys are losing. Especially people who overestimate the hype and bot like crazy
I will buy off of other people but i will never buy from resellers. They are the reason shoes in the market go up then nobody buys so they have to drop them.
Everyone needs to realize this is not the resellers fault. It is the fault of the SKATE SHOPS or RETAILERS who are selling them to the resellers. Also, Nike could fix this problem of limited shoe runs easily by making enough pairs for people to easily buy them. Instead they make 500 other styles of shoes that just sit at stores and on their app. This goes with limited run Jordans as well they get backdoored. Nike needs to Produce more pairs for their consumers. Bots still eat up releases and skate shops, foot lockers, Marcus Jordan etc will continue to backdoor them if enough pairs aren’t created for consumers to purchase them easier.
i’ll never pay a resale price for hyped shoes even though i like em, if it’s not available on nike app or stores, i’ll get the good looking alternatives or check out the other options.
Resale is fine but backdoor is fucked up. Everyone should have a chance to cop. I got sick of always driving to my local skate shops to fill out raffle never win live raffles are the best.
Resellers ruined the sneaker game. Also, jacking up the prices right after the designer died is just wrong on so many levels. It’s just like when they jacked up the prices of Kobes when the man died, or friggin Black Panther funkos when Chadwick died. Like what’s wrong with these people? They’re trying to profit off a dead person’s name, its fucked up.
I’m pissed because I love to wear my shoes and I tried to get them on drop day but I didn’t get through. It just makes me sad that a lot of these pairs are just going to sit in closets waiting to be sold to the highest bidder
Quit the sneaker game the day i tried to get my toddler a pair of shoes. Couldnt find them anywhere and went online and all the top Reseller sites had them for 2 and a half times retail. That moment i knew the game was sick. Children sizes bro. Like wtf!!
They should ban those backdooring stores for getting special shoes for life. 😅

Nike called all retailers that had them and made them return them so they definitly have a list of stores that were short in inventory.
