Let's have a discussion.

Nike announced this week that Jordan retros are going to be scaled back and less pairs are going to be produced. There's been no announcement on future pricing but wouldn't be surprised if they also raise prices as well.

I'm very torn on it. If I can get shoes at retail or on sale, thats my personal preference. I know everyone's financial situations are different, especially in the US and here in Canada. I was happy with nike flooding the market if it meant resellers losing out. Just recently, I got a pair of authentic bred 4 reimagined for $225 CAD and authentic fire red 3s for $250. This announcement is just going to cause resellers to fire up their bots again and charge ridiculous prices due to scarcity.

On the other hand, I'm really happy for the sellers this group gave us access to. I think alot of these factories and resellers are about to make some bank if Nike follows through with this announcement. I appreciate the hustle the sellers here have. They're working their asses off for $4 profit.

I know this isn't the normal post in this group but I love hearing all your opinions because we're all sneakerheads with different opinions and different motivations.

What are your buying habits? Strictly reps? Mixed? Only retail? Retail if on sale? Is this going to push you deeper into reps? Are you totally out on retail?

Fellow Dogs, I come to you looking for help. Your brother is feeling weak. I am currently considering paying resell for a pair of these. $420 Canadian to be exact.

What I'm looking for is some words of encouragement. If you have a rep pair of these, I'd probably go LJR, talk them up. Let me know why, besides price, I'm an idiot and even considering this.

Are they even noticeably different? Tell me your experience with these.

Signed,

A moron about to spend way too much on shoes for no damn reason.

Let's get a discussion going.

Like the title states, if you could pick one rep shoe, which would it be?

It can be any brand of your choice. It can be something you have or something you really want. If you're making a case for something you already own, which batch is it?

Dogs, I can not tell you enough how absolutely amazing it is to deal with Panda Vault. I had placed an order with them a week ago. My indecisiveness got the best of me and wanted to swap a shoe in my order. When I say I was a pain in the ass, I was a major pain in the ass. I couldn't decide what I wanted instead then I decided it was what I wanted then I changed my mind again and the 2 pairs I wanted weren't in stock in my size. It was a whole mess.

The whole time, PV was incredibly professional and accommodating. I know if it were me in that spot, I would be pulling my hair out. I'm a nightmare on my best days lol.

So I just wanted to give them a huge shout out and let them know how much I really appreciated them. They've got a customer for life, even though they may wish they didn't 😉.

Looking for a GL/RL

Before anyone jumps down my throat, yes, I have used the search bar.

I'm looking at getting a couple pairs of lobsters, specifically orange and purple. Did my research on which batch is the best. The problem is, I'm reading a lot of mixed opinions between S2 and M. My issue is that my preferred seller doesn't have my size in M and only has orange in S2.

So I guess my question is, which batch is superior and is that batch that much better than the other to justify not getting the other? Like is M that much better that you wouldn't bother with S2 or vice versa or are they so similar that you can't go wrong? Just don't want to pick something and be mad I chose wrong lol.
