In other news: Kobe Breaks a bone on the knee, out for six weeks. I read the header and jokingly, I was like, "That's because of his low-cut shoes, should have worn some JORDANs!"
It explains why his next signature shoe is a high top.

I forget who ran it, but someone on twitter already did the confirmation tweet last night. I didn't bother though. Let the hypebeasts fight for them.

After reading this thread a few times I got interested to look up and see how much some of these Sneakers cost and I was totally shocked at the prices that I saw. Nike Jordan Foams I think they call them were priced at $322. Of my the car would never get a Mod at that rate. And I presume that some of the collectors buy several pairs of these expensive shoes.

The retail for those are less, what you are seeing is the resell value. Many who got into the sneaker-game tend to purchase more than the pair they will own. The key is buy at least three: one to resell for more than $50 on top of retail, one to wear, and the other is to loose is the closet/basement/storage so you can come back to and dig up for it later five-ten-fifteen years later.

The tern endowment effect plays a big part in purchasing and reselling these so-called "HEAT" sneakers. Just like any item anyone has ever collected and see any value of it, all it will take is another person to place a radical price on it and you will see an influx of the bandwagon.

Do you remember the beenie babies in the mid to late 90's?

I found his today and thought you folks would find it interesting.
MJ held up at Gun Point during Sneaker signing



http://creambmp.com/articles/man-kil...LXg.like%22%5D

Well scratch this article after Perrin_Chris pointed out MJ doesn't do signings I checked on Snopes which I should have done first, but it's false

Looks like that story is fake. MJ would never make an appearance to sign shoes, haaha. He doesn't show up for anything, he just accepted his HOF trophy a few years ago. Why would he sign shoes?
