The deltas don’t have much hype but I do really like that colorway.
I buy what I like, not because of hype.
The ones you got were the best style to drop today. I hope this thread doesn't turn into the "sought after Nike" thread...
I wish Nike would still drop the same releases but with the same amount of stock that you can buy in any shoe store and kill all this hype/resale bullshit, then we could all just snag any release we like and not have to fight it out tooth and nail with bot's

glad to hear that man. I am not just buying due to hype either I was into dunks way before this craze now I can't buy a pair cuz of all the demand problems. I wasn't into those particular Js. But, I am a huge fan of 1s, 4s, 5s and the color ways I like keep getting sold out. I can always buy them off of stockX
I refuse to pay stockX/Goat prices because I don't want to keep fueling this insanity, I almost did on the UNC low's just because I love blue and a few of my kicks are different shades of blue but I'd rather just take the L and wait for the next drop I want

the way I see it is it’s a product and it’s supply is low. I hate the way things are but I also can’t do anything about it other than abstain. If I really want something I’ll pay the mark up and count that as saved money of me thinking about how to get the item. My time is more important to me.

I hear ya, the one thing you can't get back in life is time, I know it's been some good marketing on Nike's part, it just kills me that I can remember when the SB's first dropped and were marketed as an actual skate shoe, back when I still skated, now it's just all hype beast stuff for people

Yea and I am very conscious of time and health. I actually really want the spartans but they are up $100 over asking and that annoys me a lot as well.

I do kind of want another pair of the union 4s, love the look and build.

Anyways if you have the funds and want something, waiting is no longer worth it. But it is so much sweeter to win a pair at retail.

I just watched YouTube videos on the UNLV’s and B/W’s and first of al they’re not “SP”so the quality is not as nice as the Kentucky’s and Syracuse pairs. So for me it will be retail or bust....sounds like there will be a lot of them!

That's disappointing to hear. I hope they're cheap and plentiful. Do you have any idea when they're supposed to drop in the US?

You gunna grab the 95 NDSTRKT when they drop? They look pretty dope but I have enough black shoes already

I'm going to pass on them. I have a ton of black shoes too.

Wasn't looking to buy new sneakers but the leather quality on these got me. AF1 "craft". Leather quality all over is reminiscent of AJ1s in the vamp area.
