Sole needs to stop doing these design shit and hold showcase competitions like they use to… the whole jordan game changed to SB because of so and price of OG arent worth a dime. The whole point of collecting nowadays are whose shoes are more limited..
Nike running out of Ideas.
man, NIKE been out of fresh ideas since all types of fabrics and materials were used. 2nd why, 14-19 year olds? They don’t know much about shoes. And if they did, its because NIKE had to capitalize on old models that were the bizness in the late 80’s and 90’s. What is it with this “FLYWIRE” crap and terrible shoes that the cost isnt even worth the value of its looks and durability. Dont even get me started on the JB… Last but not least, Nike SB’s. If this competition is for teenagers, I assume that they go to preschools and elementary’s to see painting that kids draw to throw a shoe up, give the shoe and name, say its LIMITED which that word has lost a lot of its meaning. I still am a fan to certain drops, but please, my feet can still rock other brands if the drop is lava… Wake up NIKE.
