100% agree, after the jordan documentary the game went to shit and the only way to get the new releases was to buy from resellers. I'm glad everyone realized paying resale value wasn't worth it and now the real sneakerheads can go to their local mall and cop right away.
You kids call us “old head” but the reason why we stick to back in the days cause times were easier. 80s, 90s you walked in got your pair and walked out. Not this reselling shit of today
Bro u coping travis scotts at 40andover? Maybe the issue isnt the young dudes calling you anything, rather you needing to move yo a scene thats more your age
@@akirathedog777 Because he wants Travis Scott dunks? Sorry we didn't grow up now where Nike is actually executing customisations we wanted decades ago. I was in HS from 04-08. If you walked in with a backwards check, while they may look hot, we knew they were "shoeman" Nikes. I'm 35, the loafers, boots, and moccasins etc are in the lineup with the sneakers.
i understand reselling stores that you would see in the mall, but other than that I ain't finna buy from non retail places. (the funny thing too is that most resellers just sell the shoes to other resellers without realizing it)
Yeh I noticed majority of the grimey offers I get on the fb marketplace are from resellers who just wants to clean them up and resell them. I just want to sell to someone who wants the shoe for the shoe, they just sit in my closet collecting dust these days 🤨
Legit have no idea how these big resell shops with insane overhead to support multiple locations are surviving. Ain’t no way they are gonna sustain trying to tap into the “comfy shoes” movement.
Could've been a 2 min video with how repetitive he was. The economy sucks. Less people willing to pay for expensive resell prices because people don't have that money to spend. Market flooded with certain shoes. But resell isn't dead, it's just different than what it was before. Only certain shoes will sell for a lot. Most have been reselling for $100 more though. It's just that if you want to make money, you have to do the work instead of selling to shops. In the end, lots of people are still paying resell for a shoe they want if they can't get it on a raffle or buy it in time. People think resell is 200+ but in reality it could be 20 more but you also have to pay for fees and taxes. Unless you're buying with plenty left in stock, reselling will continue.
I don’t understand how you can make money of reselling sneakers, I mean having the sneaker is one thing but you also have the right size for that person who want’s to buy it , that’s like 50% of the deal that is needed
Yeah but old heads been knowing this and that’s how we set ourselves apart from the resellers by not only buying 1s,dunks and Yeezys…they been lame and we just stayed sneaker heads by wearing what we want😂
Remember when people was selling pandas for $300 😂 yeezy waverunners the slides. Foam runners now everything retail. Can’t wait till more hype sneaker go down in price 🫡🥳
I am a nostalgia head and an old head. I hope to cop Jordan retro sneakers from the 90s (specifically the Jordan 10 double nickel, Jordan 12 flu game, and Jordan 6 black infrared).
No matter what state the economy is in, paying hundreds and/or thousands for sneakers is a waste of money. I go to the Nike and Adidas outlets and buy sneakers for under $100 dollars. As long as I like them, I don’t need limited editions, player exclusives, nor rare sneakers. When I was growing up I put so much wear and tear on my sneakers they start looking like sandals after a year or two.
Great time to be a collector . Some shoes you have to pay resell on tho unfortunately. Not gonna find Yuto SB’s or Travis medium olives sitting at the outlets lmao
I haven't gotten a pair of cool kicks in a while. I gave up like 4-5 years ago when I couldn't get a pair of sneakers to save my life.. I REFUSE to pay resale at all. I don't pay 1 dollar over resale which made me not be a competitive buyer.. During the hype I sold 95% of my sneakers because I couldn't belive the money people were paying for a pair of sneakers. I switched up on my personal style and I'm happy I did... Made money on my personal collection and, in my opinion, upgraded my sneaker style
Sneaker reselling is not dying, the only people saying that, is the ones who can’t make a profit off they sneakers, you really have to be in the market to know what’s going on. Not everyone sells they sneakers high
@@raquelfrazier3241You have to enjoy having sneakers and moving them to even make this work. Most of these grimey resellers dont even care about the shoes they get, they just want to make quick cash without actually working.
It's because the sneaker industry is leaning on sneakers from the 90's. Besides Yeezy, there hasn't been anything new or exciting. Everyone only wants Dunks and Jordans 🙄. Theres so many Reeboks, Addidas, and Pumas that are just as fly as Jordans and dunks.
Some dude asked me to do something similar to that, he asked me to go in and buy a cap from lids I think and offered to give me 50 bucks plus the price of the cap. Thinking back on it now I should of told him I’d do it for 100 😂
While I agree with you, this is simply an opinion piece of why you don’t like resellers, you give no actual info or give factual proof to any real points as to why the market may be declining in your eyes
Exactly. This is what Nike needs to realize…if they start making around a milling pairs of the likes of a Travis Scott mocha and flood the market with them, then we wouldn’t have this problem in the first place. No shoe should be over $500 on the aftermarket anyway🤨
@cd33832 right go get a real job and stop taking advantage of ppl but i understand the hustle but your prices have to go down cause shoes use to be cheaper let nike do that stop manipulating ppl wit those crazy prices
Sneakers resell is not dead, ppl just doesn’t have the money to keep up with what big brand like Nike has to offer. Ppl will prioritize a roof on their head, a car to move around, food, those kind of newly inflated necessities. The other problem is that sneakers culture went crazy during the plandemic years so it is normal to see a downward turn after all the craziness. But I gotta say I’m not mad one bit that the dude (double j / urban necessity) had tough times after buying every 350’s that he could put his hand on at sneakers conventions before the Kanye West ban.
Can someone explain why would anyone overpay to buy shoes from a reseller instead of other shoes from a store? This reminds me of women and their purses.
JD Sport, Foot Locker want to sell inventory. If they sit on shelves they will be on sale. But these shoes never come down? Something is wrong with that.
There’s always been other brands, the new generation are just creating trends that will eventually die out, until something new comes along. Nike has always dominated, they are the only constant to to a variable game
I still make money reselling sneakers. There are lots of bricks out there because Nike has been producing a lot of hot garbage recently. Their stock price is down in large due to minimal product innovation. This company needs to blast off past the mags here, if not we all wearing Ultraboosts and fucking Hokas!
Seeing a lot of resell stores close down too. That’s what you get for overtaxing 😂 Lmao all these resellers that have the Freddy’s think they really have it like that 🤡
i'd rather buy a none HYPED shoe anyway. the so called HYPED shoes aren't even that good anyway. if i miss out on 1 i like, ill just get a different pair. and i;ll never buy from a reseller!!
Nike will keep rereleasing air Jordan retros at all costs and other retro models also. Nike will always wins and resellers lose. Nike is and always going to control sneaker market. Also people now just got way too many sneakers on them. Used sneaker market going down for the low because everyone want to buy New sneakers from the store so can look like they all that.!!!
Lmao the jealously is crazy buying low and selling is high is the formula for every business model stop being jealous make money don’t pocket watch move on at the end of the day you don’t need to these shoes to survive

Im absolutely loving the state of the game!

That's my strategy but this is extremely rare for me. The best deal I ever got out of this was the Jordan 7 white infrared for less than $70
Ppl forgot about that stuff they just care about money and what’s the most expensive sneakers
I haven't missed a drop i just wait for the hype to die hit my outlets every 2 weeks usually a "hype" jordan is available for 140 after tax

I'm not gonna lie. I'll pay resale for older shoes I no longer can buy from retail.
I buy the store quality from DH Gate because I only wear them for a week or so than i sell them at the fleamarket!😂
Right lol
Buying an asset that's not rare and can be made in huge quantity is just dumb.

As long as people have feet you can sell and resell shoes......
I have never bought a pair of shoes from a reseller. I buy directly from the Nike website, or I go to the Nike store in the mall.
Nice!
Now sneaker resellers are heading to TCG and they are doing the same thing which destroy the market
You do understand that Footlocker, Snipes, Athletes Foot, City gear, StockX, Goat are all resellers right…
Shoes are a necessity not a fashion statement....but yall ain't ready to have that convo.
You right, try to walk a day without anything on your feet and it will go back to necessity by mid day.
Exactly. That time has been over
Also my kids are wearing converse 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Their Jordan’s sit on a shelf 😂😂😂😂😂
