Big fan of the retro '77 blazer high tops in brown.

Mail call. Sadly none of these are mine. Wife may have went a little overboard.

I have the AF1 Mid Version of the "Venice" colorway. The materials are extra buttery! Slick looking shoe. Love it on that AJ1

Pretty nice shoe. Life's too short to wear boring sneakers.

You can't tell from the photo but the frey leather has texture and the blue is more like suede. Which makes it much more interesting than just standard leather. And it is definitely prime for a lace swap.

Nice details on that shoe, and you are right they didn't come out in the first pic.

Your L has been pushed back to Nov 19

Hopefully the delay is to make more pairs.

The stock was pretty rough too other than the green bean and racer blue. Nike loves to create hype for no reason.

The market is pretty interesting. When pandemic first hit, I was basically buying everything. I'm not sure if that was because of boredom or how I was coping with lockdown or what. I've gradually phased out of that and been a lot more discerning recently, opting to spend money on the secondary market for shoes I really want but missed as opposed to buying bulk shows I liked well enough. Or getting lucky and hooked up like you did for me with the infared 4s. Those were a must, but I feel like the musts are fewer and farther between these days.

Reason I bring that up is because I remember wanting the cardinal 3s the first time around pretty bad and taking the L. This time around, I didn't even enter. I still need a pair of 3s for my collection, but these just didn't scratch my itch this time around.

Applying that to the sneaker market at large, I wonder how many people were collecting in earnest like I was 2 years ago that have kind of stopped specifically because the boredom has kind of stopped. I am sure inflation and market saturation has a lot to do with it as well, but for me it's more of a psychological change over the last 24 months when it comes to buying shoes I like but I'm not totally crazy for.

Sidebar:
What do yall do with shoes that you've moved on from, that still have some life left, but that aren't hyped? For example, I have a couple of pairs of AF1s that I don't wear and I'm running out of room. Is there a market for this stuff on ebay at like a $40 price point, or is it just better to donate them?

Agree with much of what you said. I also think it became a hobby for many due to the market for resell. Many here have commented that some of the shoes that are sitting would be sold out in seconds just a handful of months ago. I would imagine its a mixture of non-hyped releases, inflation, and resellers not taking on as much risk. Look at the Nike Union Cortez collab. StockX pairs going in the low 90's on the light smoke colorway when it retails for $130. The sneaker market was due for a correction.

On the sidebar question - I have had luck selling some used pairs on GOAT if there is a market for them, but even that has slowed significantly of late

Anecdotally, 6 months ago it seemed like there was always a handful of different people going after every decent drop on SNKRS. And now it seems like you only see that much post activity for the most hyped releases.

Those are badass......2 of my favorite colors on a shoe. No website has my size in those in stock unfortunately, not even secondary

Ugh if they would've just kept the outside silhouette all the way around these would be fire. Instead they look like bowling shoes.

I've pretty much gotten out of the sneaker game. I still check this thread once in a while to see what's going on but other than trying for the super-hyped sneakers like the Travis Scotts, I've been on the sidelines. I got enough shoes to last me several years.

Shoes that I hardly wear anymore, I give them to my nephews.

I was pretty new to sneakers other than non-hyped Ultra Boost when the pandemic started so I haven't really seen a market where shoes release and you can just buy them normally. I can say I have a couple of pair that I bought last year mainly because of the FOMO and wouldn't buy them if they dropped today.

At this point I am only entering draws for shoes that I know I really want to wear, especially with secondary prices cratering lately.
