Vanessa posted that she’s working with Nike to make the Kobe’s more available to real fans. She said might have to wait until after covid
As sneaker true enthusiasts who've been doing this for decades... i'm very pessimistic about the future of sneaker releases.
I really don't see how they're going to combat bots if they haven't already.
Nike does not want to see any shoes sit on the shelves and go on deep discounts.
Also realize that nike is more concerned with being trendy/fashion forward than every before... and i really don't care for that collabo boutique shiit. That's for the fukkin byrds and bozos.
I was one of those who were on the phone calling eastbay at midnite 10 years ago, day before xmas.
A decade later and i'm still striking out. Out of principal... i am not spending over double for these shoes. 400 shipped is my limit and even that looks unlikely.
I hope these broke bois who desperate need to deplete their stock/bots with massive inventories need to clean out and liquidate these Grinchsteins.
The shiit is so irksome and makes me vehement to insane levels.
The crazy thing is you allegedly produced 600 thousand pairs but their so elusive/demand is so great, ain't nobody gonna wear 'em anytime soon.
I rarely see heat on peoples feet (well, a lot of that is due to covid, but i'm always out and about in the seattle area and i'm one of few civilians that keep a pair of something neat) and that disturbs me because i love some competition in these streets. There's fukkin' none. It bores me to death and it's a shame that most don't want to rock anything fancy because they'd rather hoard it and flip it.
If i died tomorrow, i'd go out satisfied knowing i didn't hold anything back and put mileage on my articles of clothing that were meant to be worn on pavement.
Yeah, i'm bitter as shiit. Had 7 people try for me and countless raffles and whatever man.
Fukk i'm mad. Really fukkin' mad. Gonna run into a wall running 13 miles an hour. chest first.
This is worse than a break up with a soul mate/twin flame. That's how much i love this shoe shiit. lol.
