WE’VE LOST THE PLOT
Our constant need for entertainment has blurred the line between fiction and reality—on television, in politics and in our everyday lives.

Walked into a sneaker store today that's a year old to Vancouver so the "brand" is new-ish locally. Great shoes in stock (Cherry 11s, Chicago 2s, etc). I commented on the selection quality & the staff member turns to me "they are all for retail, this isn't a consignment shop"💀

Said this to members and will say it to everyone: a lot of restocks are coming for the 11s. If you missed out stay patient and avoid resell for the next 30 days IMO. Lots of stores didn't drop mens sizes and the ones that did got under delivered.

The next chapter of

starts today. Sneaker culture doesn't need to be defined by and revolve around resell. As a company we're going to change that one member at a time through the power of community + product building for the true end consumer.

It's funny to see the two very distinct reactions on Twitter today.
People who love wearing shoes:
SoleSavy is amazing and I hope your company succeeds
Resellers:

Sounds like we're on the right path🤗

Today we officially open COLLECT to the public!
This is the first marketplace that you can buy, sell & trade sneakers in one place with NO resell prices!
The lowest fees in the industry: 0% for premium members, 3% to the public + $8 sneaker trades
Why does COLLECT matter?👇🧵

I got asked often when raising money for
@SoleSavy
why we didn’t just do resale when it’s a billion dollar industry. The answer is very simple: I don’t believe anyone should spend their hard earned money paying a premium for something because the systems designed to exploit them.

So Pac Sun (of all places?!) is now reselling sneakers.
The thing that gets lost in all the “resell is a booming business” talk is the fact they are blinded by profit so they assume consumers will put up with it forever.
There will be a breaking point. The question is how soon?

That multi billion dollar industry is fueled by consumers who have a passion for something thats so strong they’re willing to pay absurd premiums. I want to find those people as early on as possible in their journey and build product + experiences around them that bring them joy.

Every few months one of these big outlets publishes an out of touch fluff piece that glorifies resellers. I promise to read this before I tear the story apart but the headline itself is an insult to sneakerheads everywhere by classifying him as one of us.
NEW COVER: Sneakerheads have turned Jordans and Yeezys into a bona fide asset class.
When the pandemic presented a buy-low opportunity, one college dropout hit the road and filled his truck with $200,000 worth of kicks.

It's okay if you didnt buy any AJ2s before this year and now you want a pair from the upcoming collabs/retros. This is what Nike does, they hype, story tell and then they sell. Just dont forget: the hype collabs are meant to be very limited to drive demand for retro sales in 2022

And the thing that is rubbing me the wrong way the most this past week is their attempt to rally around their “community” and stick to their “core values” as a company. It’s laughable and insulting to anyone who’s seen them sell product that has no business being listed for sale.
