How is this beneficial to them vs. what Adidas did with the Stan Smith, ie releasing as many as they can possibly sell of the original colourway?
I’m not a sneaker guy but recently found myself wanting a pair of jordans... nostalgia, I guess (had a pair of whatever model MJ wore at the ‘92 olympics because I remember they had no. 9 rather than 23) and there’s something I don’t understand.
It seems Nike releases a shitload of colourways nobody wants yet the original ones (which are probably what 99% people demand) they release once in a while and in low quantities.

Well, it's not as though Stan Smiths weren't super popular for a good 5 years, and remain popular even today. Different distribution strategies and both effective.Feels like you've answered your own question. Jordans are a much more popular and profitable shoe. That's obviously due in part to Jordan himself, as well as Nike. And the shoe's design. But the manufactured scarcity of certain colorways has also helped to make that an iconic and covetable item, not unlike the manufactured scarcity of Hermes bags.

They're nowhere near the scale of Jordans. Jordans have been hugely popular for almost as long as I've been alive, and continuously so. People get killed over Jordans. No one is out here robbing you for Stan Smiths.

The guest presenter in my design course spent a couple years as an apparel designer at Adidas, working on Yeezy lines. She said that Kanye was impossible to work with because they would crank out prototypes to show him, and he would constantly change his mind. They produced only a small fraction of the apparel that they designed for him. No wonder it loses so much money.
West said the 13th Amendment was a "trapdoor" where "you'd get locked up and turned into a slave."
"Would you build a trapdoor that if you mess up and you accidentally something happens, you fall and you end up next to the Unabomber? You gotta remove all that trapdoor out of the relationship,"
Adidas stopped selling Stan Smiths for a while in the early 2010s and pairs were being sold on eBay for $200+.
