The lost and found drop yesterday was a disaster when you consider the payment problems were only for that one shoe. You could smoothly buy any pair on there at the same time. I’m not sure what the point is anymore for Nike and their silliness. They could easily make millions of Lost and Found but they don’t because....???? I mean my goodness if there is one shoe they should have made millions of, it should have been this one. I’m 45 years old, been into sneakers since 1989 and I just don’t care about chasing pairs from Nike any longer.
It's about triggering FOMO in people. They want folks to feel like they NEED these shoes. If they don't try to get them they're missing out on a moment.
I think a lot of folks need to decide, like you, whether it's all worth it or not. Deep down, many already know the answer.
I have to say this year has been the first year I started buying new balances . Just feeling like Nike has lost its way. I have never gotten a big W on the SNKRS app . Always had to pay way over priced for Travis droops , lost and founds etc . Had the whole issue yesterday . Also I noticed many high school age kids could care less about Jordan’s more and more
Nice! Glad you got them. But even there when you say you "won" the JFGs that's part of the problem, isn't it?
These brands make you feel like it's an honor for you to have your money taken for their product. As if it's some sort of privilege.
I think, overall, we just need to change the way we think about this stuff. And that includes the way we speak on them. I've got to be better about that myself, too, especially.

I'd be so interested in seeing demographic data from Nike on who is chasing some of these "grail" releases they do.
I think you're right about teens not caring as much. They seem to be willing to wear just about anything.
Agreed, same for me, and I actually won the JFG's this morning! That shit would never have happened on SNKRS
