Naw inflation high af. People don’t have the disposable income. Sneaker game is back like it should be. If you like it, it’s accessible.
It’s definitely inflation. Even retros went up to $210
@@savageboxing1402bruh forces are $110 now 😭😭😢 that’s how I know we are end times
It ain’t inflation if it’s inflation why do pippen barkelys and uptempos and bo Jackson’s still cost the same as back in the day??? They pull that BS on who they know they can
@@savageboxing1402also people styles have changed. More comfortable shoes like new balances and also designer shoes are more popular now. Which is understandable Jordan’s are uncomfortable af.especially my 4s
Stop buying Nike/Jordan. There are soo many brands that drop heat for less prices. Also I've been doing sneakers for a while. How is your jordan/nike collection going to be worth anything later when everyone else has the same exact jordans nike??? It's like whips... they aren't popular until they are rare... impala ss is an example. You're welcome.
I dont think they are dead but these bills are for sure alive and kicking lol
Couldn’t have said it better
I Love Where Sneakers Are Now. As A Grown Man With A Good Job I Can Get Whatever I Want. I Was Tired Of Raffles & Bots. I Walked Into Fox Hills Mall @10 & Walked Out With Green Gatorade 6s Easy AF. Only Time That Happened Back Then. I'm Glad We're Here Now. 😂
That era was dope!! The Gatorade jordans did sit for a while.
That was the last time I copped jordans!😊
Facts.
Bro this valid
As an OG collector I appreciate the slow down in hype! Cant wait for the Eggplants Foams to drop 🔥
Same, these are the times I have enjoyed sneakers the most in a while!
U know ur an og when u wait on foams
Pause 😂
@@Shellzwick😂😂😂 yoooo
Damn lol big PAUSE 😂😂
I think it’s great that sneakers are sitting. It was incredibly frustrating a few years ago when stuff selling out instantly, everyone was trying to flip every shoe and it was almost impossible to hit on any app
Hell yea, inflation plus resellers kilt that shit, nobody tryina pay $210 every other weekend for some shoes, that’s damn near $1000 every couple months on shoes 😂😂 folks got real bills, plus I don’t be going like that noway and I got 50+ pairs I need to wear anyway
Exactly I have so many ds sneakers that I haven’t worn I don’t need these mediocre releases as of late. I rather put more money in stock portfolio 😂
This is the story of my life
Yes sneakers are dead fashion is still alive but the shoe game is becoming more of what you like and how it fits your individual style. Sneakers will always sell but the resale and hype beast markets fucked the game all the way up.
I agree with this! Hype beasts and resellers forced a new trend and creativity, which is a good and bad thing depending on where you are on the side of the spectrum.
We love your channel bro. Keep grinding it out!!! 💯👏🏾🔥
Snkrs are dead only to the resellers. And it’s a magnificent thang now I can buy a shoe for retail or even under retail . So it’s a good thang for me 🎉
Multitude of factors -the biggest one being the economy. The hype isn’t quite there as fashion is transitioning from the hypebeast era and people are
disillusioned to the whole sneaker game because they can’t get a W for the product they want the most.
Multiple factors: inflation and paying 210+taxes every weekend while everything else is going up just not smart or worth it. Resellers played a part when they over charged ppl 2-5 times the retail price-for shoes. A lot of us older sneakerheads are looking at the piles of kicks we have in a room just sitting and collecting dust especially if you don’t go out often. Another is the new wave of young sneakerheads with the UA-cam,IG & tik tok videos on how to cop UAs for a fraction of the price while getting the same thing.
Keep doin what you do. I aint in a position where i can cop Jordans everyweek...ngl before i drop on a new pair i always check out what you have to say about em first. You be helpin ppl decide if shit REALLY worth it or not without hatin or being biased.
As a 24 year old guy that grew up watching you guys.. I’ve noticed people are wearing new balances/ adidas sambas stylish cheap shoes and that’s not a bad thing .. I even bought myself some lol people going thrifting.. basically .. having style while not spending a lot of money is the move now.. unless you’re a rapper celebrity wearing designer obviously
This was a good topic bro I hope you have a good year I am happy for you and your wife with the kid
I’m happy you’re not giving up bro, keep grinding, I’m here for longevity
that Yeezy and Off-White period was probably one of the greatest in sneaker history. In business you got exploit and explore. exploit is do the something over and over cause it makes easy coin. explore is do new things and take risks. sneakers are defo in 2024 in the exploit. Yeezy and off-white were an explore period.
TikTok Reels & Shorts killed sneaker youtube reviews. People can get the same basic info on a sneaker in a 59 secs now. I still like to watch longform reviews but it's no longer most peoples go-to for sneaker content. I see reels/shorts getting 250k-1mil views when a new sneaker comes out though.
I think another issue is the most popular sneaker silouhettes are retros (w new colorways). So most people feel like if they've seen one AJ1/ NB1906 / Samba, they've seen them all. Comparing it something like tech product reviews there's always something new/innovative to review that people have yet to see and want insight on.
Thanks for the video. Very interesting content.
Love your channel, I usually go to your page and nightwing’s page for sneaker review.
We rockin wit you bro 💯
I still dig your videos mate. Keep bringing the good content ❤
We appreciate you and your efforts.
The shoe game is exactly where it needs to be...every shoe ain't overhyped and u actually got a chance to get what u like...i don't sell shoes so i don't care about resell unless its under retail and u actually get shoes for less
I’m 21 been watching Tony & Bull since I was in middle school still am now nun changed yall keep doing your thing no matter how the sneaker game lookin or how things lookin and the end of the day we still a community
Don't be discouraged Tony. My advice is to get more technical with sneakers. More about the details and unique features that make each pair special to US, would be dope. Only a few people are doing it and i feel like a lot of us are into the materials and craftsmanship. Been watching you for a while. I watch you, Bull, Mike Rich, also Kai, Adin, all of them. Hit me up if you want any help Brodie, you have a good following and a unique style so i know you can still thrive regardless of the "Sneakonomy" as i call it. Much love 🙏🏽
thanks bro
@ToNYD2WiLD everybody that was messing with the channel still is, kiddo. Trust and believe. Hypebeast, tho.... ehh.
@ToNYD2WiLD Kids are wearing crocs & slippers. They dress like bums. How they attract the opposite sex, is beyond me.
I’m into more designer shoes now than Js , i got tired of feeling cheated with synthetic leather and glue stains for the price they expect us to pay
If they used higher quality materials and had better quality control then they would be 1k a pair just like designer shoes. You get what you pay for.
Glad to know im not alone lol
@@ehc1999I hear you but i feel like thats a bogus excuse when other boot brands and sneaker brands like New balance or Timberland dont give you nearly as bad of quality as Jordan brand
Watch you still for reviews and different thoughts on shoes. I do miss when you and other creators would go to different sneaker related events. Getting the community involved with releases.
The sneaker culture isn’t dead it’s just people buy what they like and it’s awesome to see kicks still at stores and no one has to run out on a Saturday to stand in line or get raffles . Those days are dead !!!! And it’s dope to get what you want and not buying the hype but buying your type juuuheard. Much love @TonyD2Wild
Interesting topic Tone . What do you think about the sneaker game?
We love you bro
God bless Tony🙏🏽❗️Forward Always
I think the pandemic spoiled the "sneaker game" and everyone involved in making a prophet from it. Now that the dust has settled, inflation is high and people are being way more selective about what to buy. This makes the resell market unstable. But this is a great time for the consumer.👍🏾
Facts about that 210 a week is tougher than ever. I’m only looking toward 2 pairs of sneakers this whole year!!!!
Lots of reasons, due to the pandemic or any situation had or have been experiencing, but still i appreciate what your contents and reactions you have, keep it up its a matter of what you love most and make you happy. Im jelous in a nice way that you can get any shoes you may like or love but still thanks man for standing up and sharing and giving reaction to every shoes you've copped❤
This was an incredible take fam. One of your top vids fr. Everything you said was spot on and valid 👌🏼
I’m 40 yrs old. When I was buying shoes, no lines at all and Jordan’s at the time 150 max. And if everyone wanted them early you would pay maybe on a good Saturday an extra 50. I’m from nyc I use to catch the VIM sales Jordan’s was 50 sales facts.
Facts!! Now it’s like 150 more on resale
THATS A FACT RIGHT ON JAMAICA AVE V.I.M held it down with the Jordan’s on sell
Appreciate the content man taking L’s is frustrating man
Yo Tony I appreciate you bro how I found you was through bull1trc y’all made a collab anytime a sneaker drops i go to you two more to you now since you more active but you always got a real supporter over here your very articulate funny and just overall a good sneaker reviewer things have changed I can sense it as well but at the end of the day y’all two are like the best overall to watch keep chilling
I been watching bro from u had the temp fade with the curly fro doing storytimes. U and bull played a big part in me growing up 💯
I started collecting around 2006 and had to sell my collection in 2010 because I had children so I gave it up until 2017 , when I started back collecting I had to start with shoes nobody wanted in order to build up at least a few rotational pairs. I really fell back in love in 2019 when the chase was back . Meaning you had to start putting in a little work , since then even with the reseller craze I feel the shoe world is better than ever , simply become we get to see how time moves and trends go with it .
Love you brother, your videos is what helped bring me back.
I’m 25 now. I started watching you back when I was in the 8th grade probably. So like 2013? I seen a lot of ups and downs. Gotta pay these bills first but sneakers ain’t dead it’s just the economy I’d say. I had taken a break from sneakers a few years ago but got back once Covid hit.
We still love you bro !!! Hang in there, inflation is high and dudes are out there doing OT and don’t have time to worry bout sneakers that cost $250 and groceries are $500 a week lol ! Car loans, mortgages Sneaker game is stressful now days due to prices all around
You’re right, January was really slow and that had to contribute to lower views. Love your channel Tony
I started watching you and bull when I was in HS. Graduated in 2014 and graduated college 2019. Have my career after college so now I’m fortunate enough to buy whatever I can. Last year was the first year I was able to get 2 pairs of 350s V2 and 2 pairs of 700s.
💯
Consumers market. Love to see it
Just Keep Doing You Mayne! I still rocks witcha! 👊🏿
My man TonyD always comin with the shit
I've switched to designer shoes yes they cost more but I don't have the option of buying a new shoe every weekend because designer shoes are dropping 6 times + a month but I agree with a lot of the comments and you to tony D but I've noticed the change thanks for putting this video out there 💯
Inflation is the biggest factor I remember growing up in High School J’s was already 190 + tax now 2 something? No one is trying to do that to and I don’t blame them. The other factor is some people just grow apart from liking things in this day and age Ps5 is the standard just video games in general always have been. The other factor is it’s all just a bunch of recycled models and color ways and that starts to get old why pay 400 something for a model you already had 4 years ago for a skyrocketed price?
I love the sneaker game era we in. I'm able to buy w.e jordan pair I like. Now I do believe what's hurting the sneaker marker is inflation, and people don't have that kinda money to be spending on sneakers! There's more important priorities than sneakers
Commenting because I love your videos, don’t stop bro🤍
I agree, they’re not dead. But people are hurting financially to the point where they have to be very selective, myself included. I learned to stop buying unnecessary colorways. Inflation is stupid high. Bills… bills… and MORE bills! Like you said, the price increase of Jordan’s ain’t helping either. Now resellers are moving away from Jordan brand and going to Nike SBs and NB collabs cause of hype and their limited pairs where they can easily gain more profit. We’re in a new era.
My interests have changed and like you said the shoes that you do want, everyone else wants so good luck getting them for retail.
These young kids want Rick Owen’s they don’t care about Jordan’s like that.
Don’t stop pushing out content been watching u 10 years we all love ur videos definitely one of the goats !
What you said in this video is completely true I got really in to to sneakers around 7th going into 8th grade (2015-16) at the time I really couldn’t afford sneakers so my parents had to buy them for me until I started my making my own money in high school and brought as many shoes as I wanted that’s when I realized I didn’t really wear the shoes that u brought because I didn’t have the colors to match or I just didn’t feel like put them on so I wore crocs most of the time that’s when I really stopped buying as many shoes I would just the shoe that I like and I’m not gonna spend a crazy amount anymore because when I was younger I just wanted certain shoes just to show I got them and I would pay ridiculous prices now if I can’t get them at retail or for a good price I’m good I’m grown now have bills pay and other things to invest in
Young crowd big into reps. I see high schoolers come into our store all the time saying, “we can just get this off Pandabuy” small part of the community but still
Love the vid, I believe this is just a bigger picture moment. Every corner of the internet got over saturated with lots of cheap eyes and cheap money, low interest rates caused a big boom in all sectors of business. We are now going in a contraction in all markets, I think it's good. Over consumption of commodities and product for soooo longggg, the musical chairs had to stop at some point, people cant pay bills like that, let alone $210 on shoes. Much love to all!
I think peoples attention span is small sometimes too. Ive been a sneakerhead for 20 some years and will be in it heavy for awhile then get kinda bored, pull away to something else and come back. Everyone always looks for the next new things but the true loyalists always come back around. Personally I love your videos, you and Bull. Much Love 🙏
bro i got air jordan 1 low court purple and my freinds says that jordan is dead should i keep them or what should i do
Exclusivity, colorways, pricepoints, hypebeasts, resellers, new trends and styles all play a part. Glad to say i grew up in the sneaker community tho
Been watching you for nearly 10 years and met you at sneaker con London. Definitely not going anywhere. Sneakers will always be a part of my life. It nice now being able to just grab ahold of any pair I want now for retail and below 😅
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not everyday is about shoes that’s the thing but we do love some classic Jordan’s ❤
I think the high inflation and cost of living has taken away a lot of disposable income. That dampens the interest in sneakers as a whole. Nike will eventually cut production, but it was predicted that the market would slow down before Nike could slow down production. This would cause a bunch of shoes to go on sale. It’s a regular cycle.
Great Video Tony
I’m saving up to buy my 1st 🏡
this year. That’s why I took a step back from sneakers.
But my next pair is the purple lobsters 🫡💜🦞
I knew this time would come. So glad I chose to pass on Jordans as a whole. It’s been a decade and a half since. I’m just now starting my Jordan collection and I’m getting everything I want. Lmao.
I chose to do high fashion and unique sneakers back in early 2010s during peak Jordan hype. I sat there time after time watching everyone and their mama wear Jordans. Then in the mid 2015s there was a flip. Everyone all the sudden started doing what I was doing. Wearing fashion sneakers or Yeezys so I switched to Jordans and starting 2025 I’ll start wearing Yeezys everything should be rinsing and repeating by 2030 at that point I’ll be damn near 40 and won’t care to get a whole bunch of sneakers. I’ll probably rotate 10 kicks.
It’s the retail prices is unbelievable at this point. I’m 2024 I’m just being patiently for sale and if I don’t hit oh well. Always thought you guys were nuts paying 300$+ for some damn shoes
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tony! If I may add, I think that with all the recent Sneaket releases shoes have become way to similar I mean truly we talking about these bred 4 reamagined line crazy when most of us have a version of bred 4’s and other black j’s…. Then Og’s like yourself that have been holding on to nice Deadstock exclusives, people have kicks that are similar and it also takes away some of that interest in the Sneaker market. Just thoughts….
Where did you get your LED sign?
I get just about every shoe I want for below retail now. I couldn’t care less about the trends or hype behind shoes, sucks I can’t sell an extra pair for $500 but I’d rather be able to grab dope shoes for cheap. Perfect conditions right now in the market for ppl who collect shoes.
I haven’t bought sneakers since 2021. I can’t buy Jordan’s stock price everything is at a resale price and I’m not paying over $200 through someone else. To the average person it’s impossible to get good sneakers these days.
I copped the yellow ochre 6s. I seen them, I liked them, I bought them. I want the hype and non-hype kicks. My saucony and asics game is starting to get crazy
Tony you are a great channel bro don't worry we got your back.
I can not believe this, I love it here. South beach 8's,sprites and miami nights sitting at retail and below on the internet. New dunks are cheap and stable. New Kobe's, KD's and Hype J's not crossing 500 and falling. Yo, I love it here yo. What a time to be alive. Not to mention all the L's Nike still handing out on SNKRS, people gone look for options. Including Reps alot of people with also just do without. All those things compound and demand falls eventually prices fall. As a genuine lover of sneakers, I absolutly love it here and hope it lasts forever lolz
scarcity can really drive a market. people like the chase. they like to have something that not everyone else has. Im older now and have moved on from sneakers. ive got other priorities. also, when i DO rarely go out, i prefer something more comfortable than the 90s retro i used to like.
I honestly think the biggest thing is over releasing shoes that not your average people can afford. Inflation is raising the prices on everything put out paychecks. Jordan brand needs to either stop raising the prices or lower them a bit. Nike and Jordan brand are making crazy money off of shoes that probably cost $10 a pair to make realistically.
Collabs are all the hype now, who's name is on it
Ima just say it certain individuals was just buying and reselling just to be cool and fit in now that the hype is regular they true colors came out but ima always tune in to you cus I actually love my kicks never resold anything
It’s only a bad time for one person RESELLERS right now. Companies are making way more product and the sneakers aren’t selling like before for high crazy prices. Sneakerheads rejoice.
Only resellers should be stressing over shoes in 2024 lol it’s a great time to be a collector!
The hype best era was the reason i bought supreme clothes like crazy, now i feel like a fool spending that much money on expensive outfits, im ok with just wearing AF1s and nun else
that's why you have to stick with classic graphics and garments
All facts Tony, plus inflation has been a killer lately. People don't have 200 or more a week to keep dropping. It's hella expensive. And I need that WrestleMania Hat!!! Dope trucker bruh..... Blessings Tony, Love Brotha....🙏🏾👑
great vid, and ur views lower because there r new channels r popping up everyday and people r always looking for the next thing. U have a great channel keep up the good work bro.
Hey Tony, I’d love for you to get into fashion, start reviewing popular brands, supporting small businesses and start styling them with different shoes, post sneaker rotations, and fits of the week videos, that’s what I’ve been gravitating more towards watching
Bots and unreasonably high reseller shoe cost lead to this. I think the brands decided that resellers were no longer good for business and they made more shoes to disrupt the resellers prices.
Yea prices definitely play a big role. Then when it’s sitting you can get a discount so why pay full prices. Game changes constantly.
Not making as many appears only works for resellers. Limited stock means more hype and more hype means that a regular ordinary guy won’t get a pair cuz everything will be back doored and botted out
BLUE YOU MY BOY 😂 I’m a1 day1 bruh 🤘🏾 I’m always watching just a real one
Yes, I’m glad you started making 2a content 😭
If they make less pairs that creates that feeling of exclusivity again and then things will fly
I love that sneakers are sitting for sure. But I think people just want grails or Travis now apparently.
I see this as a positive thing, I’m not a sneaker head but I do enjoy being able to obtain a pair of shoes that I like rather than going to resellers. I think the gate keeping market is predatory, I think you should be able to walk into any store and buy the shoes that you like regardless of the hype.
I’d need to see the data, how many people got into collecting now as opposed to a few years back, there’s so many factors at play right now
As a sneaker collector who has started his collection over 2 times since 2009 I love the time we are in. Majority of the shoes I want I can get, now as a guy who just started my UA-cam channel for sneakers I think it is causing sneaker content creators to be more creative where you cant just unbox shoes. I am gearing content towards how to get fresh for less, so I am focusing specifically on how to get shoes for below retial to grow your collection with sneakers you like.
As a grown ass man myself I’m glad that the sneaker game has died a little bit because now I have the ability to buy shoes at the stores not paying overpriced hype or making sure if it’s fake or not. I’m glad where it’s at right now.
I'm just happy I can walk in right now at my local Nike and get the royal reimagined 1's for 30% off
I love that they’re making a lot of sneakers, I don’t have to worry about not hitting for retail. Besides the black and purple Barkleys, I’ve gotten every drop I wanted. Haven’t had to buy shit resell. I love it. What I do hate in the over saturation. There are way too many drops. But I guess buy what you want, don’t buy what you don’t want. No harm no foul.
I think part of ur views going down may be because sneakers are easily accessible and many being below retail. When the hype was higher people had to come to a channel to truly decide if they wanted certain sneakers to get it on release day… those sneakers that garner that hype are rarer now. So people can literally just go to a local spot or Footlocker to literally try on the sneaker or examine it themselves. But of course also add that to more people losing interest in sneakers because they weren’t truly into it in general (only the hype and/or money to be made)or even them starting families.
BEEN HERE SINCE 2018✊🏽🔥
Thank you for mentioning the economy. A lot of conversations I heard and had a year ago looked at the sneaker reselling game (which people consider sneaker game) the in a vacuum
Bro I'm those kids you where talking about I'm finna turn 21 this year and I'm literally just getting back in to sneakers and it's so easy to buy stuff rn not like how it was back in the day I used to buy used sneakers clean em up wear them to school sell or trade them, I just bought like 5 pairs of shoes for 550 each shoe added up is worth atleast 2,500
And the reason I probably got that price is beacuse I bought them off people my age that just became adults and need money for there car payments or rent or whatever else they got goin on shits hard out here and that why I haven't bought now sneaker the first 2 and a half years of being an adult now that I've found myself as an a adult and as a father of 2 I need certain shoes in my life
