its a mad situation, but looking at ebay it seems like no one that queued to get the latest adidas x babe x undefeated actually wants to wear them. with such a limited / hyped release i can see that people see it as a way of making fast money.. couple hundred quid just for standing in line. and if your rich it saves you waiting about.
it just doesn't sit well with me..
re; the box fresh bargain thing.. i don't see anything wrong with being a collector and selling off sneaks that you no longer wear or ones that you have saved boxfresh and now have to sell for what ever reason (usually a massive bill or you have to many suede sneaks and not enough sunshine) for a profit if the demand is there, but the immediate reselling thing im not down with.
but what ever really..... other than a 1 pair per customer policy it will just carry on, and at the end of the day the majority of sneaker shops will sell as many as they can to who ever they can. is it really their job to ensure hat everyone gets a fair crack at getting limited releases? maybe adidas should just release better General release sneaks or do consortium in larger numbers. maybe i should get a better job so i can pay well over the odds and jump the queue on limited releases. .. maybe i should get some sleep so i can get up early and enjoy tomorrows heat wave..
