For nike & aj,celebrities are hired to promote the shoes...so stars wear them & ppl go buy cos a star wears them.....the hype is the star not the shoe,customer get the wrong impression of hype...
As for asics or nb,no stars was hired to promote the shoes.The hype is real...

 

[ah hui]

hardly see celebrities wearing SB last time? most of them are skaters.
Airjordan is hyped.

SB is because of quantities. Low supply High demand and of course good collaboration.

The recent NB hype is because alot taiwanese and koreans wearing?

i know alot of you is old timers. haha i am just saying the newbies.
buying because of hype. lol

anyway, we are on different style here.
haha. i come from the old street wear stuff. you can call us hypebeast back in those days.

Just that NB and Asics didn't come across as "street" at those times.
But now NB and Asics are picking up in the sneakers "game"
Even reebok is making a comeback.

back in my time, only nike and adidas is relevant in singapore.
i don't mean overseas cause i know NB is big in the UK.

anyway i am also into vans. sk8 hi and sk8 mids.
haha i'm not a collector, just buy and wear whatever i like.
buy to rock, not to stock.

currently only have around 20+ pairs of sneakers.
mostly nikes, adidas and vans.
haha NB and asics just doesn't appeal to me! and i stay true to myself, don't jump in the hype bandwagon.

stay true sneakerheads
Don't fall into the hype!

cheers!

Nb design or worn by taiwan stars or whatever korean stars are made in asia which i never buy,no hype & no resell value,is a waste of my time.
yes u can stay true to your own sneaker game on local playgrounds with your own hype here rocking vans or converse,nike aj,whereby your source is from local retailers like LE or leftfoot....it crap oversea & thats all i can tell u.

What we play is hype of resell value,a total different game from yours,my sneaker game interaction is purely oversea like usa/europe which pricing based on usa,euros,pounds.I dont play kids sneakers game,serious sneakers games is now a business.

Allow me to add abit more infos to your knowleadge of sneakers game.
let me give u some information u may not know about the brands of sneakers that is going wild mad.
Most Asics,Nb collabs are having mad resale hype pricing.many Nike/Aj collectors,locals & oversea,are dropping off their main collection jumping over to these runners cos of the resale hype.They buy,rock & sell.
A few pcs of AJ & Nike air does have some hype of resale pricing & these are for kids who follow stars like kanya west - yeezy
Adidas,reebok,vans,converse have no chance of hype at all....these brands can sit on seling posts for mths & never sell out even if it a top japan collabs!

lol, how you know all my sneakers are from LE? don't judge bro.
anyway, to be honest, 80% of what i own are not available in SG though.
Yes, i admit i am a LE member, but i buy to resell to pi*oy. lol earn some quick cash that's all.
Not exactly a AJ fan, haha resell fan maybe.

nah, i don't play. haha i don't collect. i rock those shoes/sneakers/runners whatever you call it.
people treat their jordans like gold, i thrash them on the court. lol
anyway, i sold part of what i owe because i have no time for them anymore.

sneakers "game" got adult and kids?

Ahh not from local LE or leftfoot...then u should have some ideas on what the hype is about.& u resell to pinoys for quick cash cos there is a hype for the resale....
And yes,can kids afford 4 or 5k per mths on sneakers or adults?
Does nike makes billions by selling to kids or adults?

errr. i don't know much about the hype now overseas for all those brands. but recently, mmj x adidas is a sold out but of course, given the state of the "game", resell value is not as crazy as it used to be.

a thing of past -
MMJ x Converse, Number ine x converse, these are crazy collabs by converse.

Adidas Consortium series 35th anniversary. crazy hype on those.
Union, undefeated, neighborhood, footpatrol and so on.

Nike AM1 Amsterdam, Nike x Fragment AF1, Nike HTM.
Super crazy!
haha

Vans technically have no much resell value.
But they have awesome collabs also.

Anyway, most of these deal in USD, Euros and Pounds too.

Nah, yeezy ain't my thing.
I live thru the ups and downs of the sneaker "scene" haha
enlighten me bro, what's the craziest, hyped up sneakers collab that NB and Asics have came up with? what's the price of it now?
this is serious. not trolling. trying to learn some stuff.

All i can tell you, nike make billions not based on resell values.
what they earn are retail prices.
what makes their company valuable is because of the hype they have created.
In skating, basketball, soccer, almost all sports.

Kids are the ones paying for all their Jordans. using parents money of course.
the percentage of kids paying for nike is really alot man.

Things of the past,im not interested to follow,hype of the past already over.
I follow what is of now & maybe future at overseas wheres resells & trades are high.
Like u said,although some collabs of etc adidas like undefeated etc are hype,they are not of hype resale,these are bought to rock,cant resell or hard to resell,stay on selling post for months.Oversea collectors dont go for these unreal hypes.
The hype i follow is of resale value,even vnds pair still have high resale value or high trade value.
Also i cant tell u the most crazy hype,but i do have seen some crazy hype resells done in the west.recently a near usd10k bid out for a pair of RF x asics GL3.His asics collabs never retails more than usd200,but can goes this far.Even other designer that does a collabs with asics,they will get their name up hanging....

see your pattern i know you reseller. I think i know who you are. hehe

any, you gotta learn the history of hype.
to be a true sneakerhead, you gotta know your roots.
where it started from.
Never believe in the hype.

Selling at high price isn't hype.
Killing for a pair is the real hype.
Rioting for a pair is the real hype.
This is the real hype. Hype kills my friend.
this is also know as stupid hype.

*you don't see this hype for asics and NB? if have please share.
