That's why I am not a fan of selling expensive stuff online (expeically CL). I usually use RS.

Did anyone who got the Reigning champs ultra boost even want them? it seems like all I see are resellers and I don't think these were even really raffled out here so people stood in line for hours and hours just to make around a $200 profit? lol

Same for the Triple Black Ultraboost. Resellers were lining up for 16+ hours at Livestock. It seems all the smaller sizes 7-10 are for sale I haven't seen an 11 and up for sale lol.

That's why the sneaker game is dead to me now. All these people buying the shoes just to resell, does anyone actually want shoes anymore? Resellers aren't killing the game, it's the stupid people that are willing to pay asking prices. Gone are the days where a sneaker came out and if you wanted it, you could walk in and get it no problem.

It's simple supply and demand.

If you could walk in and get it, then nobody wanted it in the first place.

Well adidas doesnt make it any easier with limited releases and super low stock amount and twice the amount of resellers. Basically makes it impossible for ppl like me to get a pair when they have all their releases while im busy at work. Still have yet to find a pair of ultraboosts in my size

I think he meant for retail price not reseller. Nike has gotten better fighting back at resellers with the SNRKS APP and mass producing shoes, they saw that resellers were making 4-5 times. Adidas is fairly new to reselling started 2-3 years ago with the Ultra Boosts and Yeezys then the NMDS followed. Adidas they'd rather have the "hype" and the resellers so long as they get attention.
Simple supply and demand.

Two ways to stop resellers, mass produce/saturate the market like what Nike is doing. Or don't buy from them and make them sit on their inventory and force them to sell at a lower price. There's always going to be another shoe coming out the next week/month. They're just shoes at the end of the day.

Ordered from GOAT before and they shipped with DHL

Duties were 1/4 of the price of the shoes, so i denied shipment, sent it back to them, got a refund and found the shoes cheaper locally

Stockx uses UPS so you're guaranteed duties as well

Last year's 72-10 XI's had amazing quality. Probably the best of all the XI's in terms of the quality. Good thing there was not much hype, we love our OG colors too much. It's hard to like a non-OG color. Reminds me of the fake / variant Jordans you see all over the internet back in the mid 2000's.
