Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

the artificial scarcity is what people want it's the psychology of having exclusive shyt which is why something sitting or bricking is stated with a negative connotation. people don't know what they want. the game is the game. you create scarcity to create illusion of exclusivity. when shyt is easily accessible the desire is not the same it is not a status symbol to have it. we are seeing this right now even with the yeezy releases. it's not that the shoes fell of it's the artificial scarcity of the low stock and then the bots snatching up all that shyt for people to turn to resell market that was driving up a frenzy.

there is a lot of psychology at play in marketing. hand out shyt for free without a line up and nobody wants it. create a line up and you will see people stand in line not even knowing what they are getting just because there is demand from others. This is basic and observable in so many places in life. It is the basic mentality of the hype driven sneaker consumer. they demand access but when they get too much of it their desire is lost. you can literally see people having second thoughts when they win raffles too easily on pairs and so forth.

Ehhhh there’s is a bit more straightforward than that. Adidas lied about stopping manufacturing of Yeezy’s after the situation years ago and created too many that they now can’t get rid of. Even before the resale game wanned, Yeezy’s were starting to lose its luster.

Even now, it’s not the 350’s that are struggling to move, but the other creations that shouldn’t have been greenlit nor did people want in the first place.

It could have been avoided had they just stopped producing them when they said they would but got greedy after being so dependent on him.

so your saying scarcity drives value tho... i'm just saying

sneaker bros be like "blah blah fukk company why can't they just kill the bots so i can have a pair..... then, damn there's too many now i don't want it anymore "

Look at the short lived hype of the NB 550's or the Samba. Marketing psychology 101. These companies tried to give the people what they said they wanted but there's a delicate balance.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Any of y’all be trying to come up on the whatnot app? (Giveaways, bids etc.)

Depending on the sneaker and the demand behind, yes it does and we see that on more than one occasion.

If we're keeping it 100% honest, a lot those people that complained about SNKRS and bots over the years were more bytching about the fact that they couldn't get something that had high resale value and that they could make money off of. So I wouldn't use the crux of the argument in the discussion.

A lot of those colorways people never wanted in the first place and it's evidenced by how they're sitting now.

It's why I've always said that the resell game is good for Nike and all these companies out here as it would move sneakers that would be sitting otherwise.

I don't know anyone whose manually hit on a NB website especially in the ecase of the Action Bronson's.

That's why they had to switch to the EQL the previous go around with the Azure's.

So it looks like Adidas is releasing all three Olympic colorways in Ant's shoe. I bet Nike doesn't release any for their guys.

 

[Dad]

Did anyone order the Salehe Bembury x Pollex Juniper ‘Guava‘ ?

Reddit saying the ones reselling are fakes?

 

[Batsute]

Copped the Union Field Generals and YZY Quantums (It’s okay Kanye doesn’t get paid)




EFIT: Seriously fukk this site trying to upload images.

 

[head shots101]

Olympic Jordan’s are under retail ….. weird

 

[Chris Cool]

They dropped? My 2012 6s are peeling on the sole. Don't think I'm copping though.

 

[Regular_P]

I don't even blame them for trying the way resale goes on some of these releases.

Yeah if you have $350 for resale then $250 retail should be OK.
