Man, i just saw a man put Honolulu Blue laces in his Black Cat 3 to match his Lions jersey…

Too much information out here to have zero taste

I hear ya. "Matchy matchy" 'fits are just IMO.

Figured as much with that ridiculous $250 retail price. They made these for bots.

I'll never understand it from a business perspective. This is an iconic shoe. It's going to sell out no matter how many pairs they produce. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come this year since it's LOADED with OG releases.

Nike in a pinch and need to create scarcity to generate hype.

So instead of maximizing sales and profits, they release a “super limited” amount for one of the most iconic shoes of all time?

At a $250 price point, that shoe would be sitting as a GR and their outlets and even they know that.

Yes, All you have to do is google Nike and scarcity. They built their empire on scarcity. This is not a unique business concept. When products don’t move then you create scarcity to create growth.

There's not even the original like what's going on here.... This whole industry has got you guys sipping Kool-Aid over here like what are we talking about is this like the original mold that these are made from? Original materials?

It's a mass produced factory reproduction ... Of a mass produced factory shoe

Just buy the "fakes" that were made across the street from the real factory

Edit: just noticed in a lot of the comments many are seeing through this gimmick

SNS filing for bankruptcy shouldn't be surprising as I knew something was up with that 50% off sale had been going on for a long while now. A lot of those sneaker companies expanding during the sneaker boom and now it's all coming back to haunt them.

If a major company like SNS is struggling, I'd imagine the other big names are as well. Even resell sites like StockX are now resorting to taking allowing sales on random ass items just to help stay alive.
