I've been after a pair of Bordeaux's since the first time I saw them on here. I realise that in my daily search, for almost 2 years straight, I've never seen a single pair of them for sale on eBay, and only purchased from one member on here to another.
I know FP's and NHBD's. Unions, Tates etc are rarer in terms of production, but I've seen them around on an almost weekly basis in one size or another - if you've got the money, they'll be around in your size if you're patient.. but Bordeaux's?
What's the rarest supe in your hunting/shopping experience?

Ahh yes, the "limited edition paradox," where limited shoes are easier to find than non-limited ones. The way I figure, with a lot of the limited releases, a much smaller percentage of the people who buy them actually wear them, and a much larger percent hold onto them to sell them for profit, which is why they seen so often despite being limited. The non-limited stuff like the bordeauxs, which I remember seeing in abundance in many shops in LA, end up being purchased and worn at much higher rates, making it very hard to find a new pair since they weren't "limited" and therefore not kept by as many people for the intention of selling later.
But I digress, a few pairs I've had some trouble finding are the black/white stripe/white shell SSI (finally found a few years ago) and the snakeskin stripe SSIs (both black and white), which I haven't been able to track down for the life of me.
