Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[Ohene]

Wait wait, I don't have to jump through hoops to buy anything ever.. let's get that clear asap



But my logic = I'll gladly pay resell or more than usual for something that's harder to obtain, rather than pay a similar price for something that's likely to end up on the clearance rack. How is that backwards?? Lmao please help me understand..


When there's shyt like Bred 1's going for 280 shipped on GOAT app, it's hard to justify paying 235 after taxes for something retail that's for 1, not gonna sell out (because so many were made) and 2, likely will drop in price because of that.


Am I wrong for this stance? If I am PLEASE school me lol


Edit: any of y'all sneaker heads on IG??

i dont even know why you replied to @CrimsonTider
he doesnt understand the simple concept of supply/demand lol

if anything...something being on sale (price skimming) means that the supply was too high or not that many ppl fukk with the product. Why would it be hard to buy something on sale.

I don't need you econ 101 class

Im not talking about something being on sale or discounted Im more talking about something being a good "deal"

@Larry Legend

Im speaking from the perspective of buying shoes from the simple standpoint of Buying something that you like and want to wear. Never mind any of this BS hype or limited nonsense.

If I like shoe and its going to cost $220 I should be able to walk casually walk in to the store and make purchase. Not put in raffles, wait in line or break my F5 button

I feel you fam @CrimsonTider


But I feel like Nike (adidas too really) is fasho taxing too much for some of these kicks especially when the demand isn't there.

235 after taxes is kinda crazy. That shyt will probably be the norm in a year or two tho.. they're easing us into it


That used to be resell price lol

Its good to know they will admit they were over charging for shoes like they showed with the KD and Lebron lines

 

[Brad Piff]

Only v2 I'm interested in

 

[THASTUNNA]

People will start to realize how ugly yeezys are when they arent limited and not flipping for 3-10x retail

The V2 set i cant complain, production run was Red (very limited), Copper (about the same as beluga) and Green (About 3x prodcution run of beluga/copper)

To be honest, in hand.. I like copper the best. But I been flipping all my copper/green and hoarding my Red from broke resellers who cant hold a $220 sneaker cause space jams are coming

yup

I have heard (and said that before)

On a sidenote for real sneaker heads, this is what I use shytty yeezys for, to trade for some older heat that people dont appreciate as much as they should anymore

I would do the same. Just can't get my hands on any damn Yeezys

 

[prime]

My 10 year old cousin just asked for the maroon 11s I don't know if I can pay 220 for a GS shoe

 

[bzb]

Are nikkas against running shoes and only in love with bulky ass uncomfortable Jordan silhouetteS? ...

Nothing against J's btw..

i feel like nikkas be callin Yeezys ugly because they can't get a pair. nikkas know damn well if someone was tryna sell em some brand new 100% authentic turtle doves for $200, they'd change that ugly tune in a heartbeat

personally yeezys are ugly to me, but they are comfortable. bought and sold a pair because they just don't look right on me. the comfort doesn't even justify the retail price considering they're ugly imo. they're hypebeast kicks, it is what it is. i have several runners that aren't socks with soles glued on that look better and are very comfortable for half the retail of yeezys.

235 after taxes is kinda crazy. That shyt will probably be the norm in a year or two tho.. they're easing us into it


That used to be resell price lol

that's exactly what they were aiming for. crush the resell market by increasing production and make more money by selling at or slightly below what the resell market would have been. they tried to frame it as "remastered" or by putting a nike sign on the back.
