I'm seething because Nike just had a Powerpuff collab and the sneakers were instantly gone, scalped by resellers (hexbear.net)

I bet not a single legitimate PPG fan got to actually buy the sneakers. They were all gone within hours and reappear on the reseller market for >$250 each. Also fuck Nike for making such a limited edition sneakers. I refuse to play their game.

Thankfully there's always the 1:1 bootleg replica market. It is actually nice that you don't feel bad wearing your sneakers outside like a regular human being rather than keeping them in the closet.

Damn, someone should tell Nike about this so they make more of the limited edition run shoes.

EDIT: This is kind of vague and sarcastic which I've noticed is not a tone with a good history in the environment of this site so I'll clarify that Nike shoe company has a map of the chain of value going down to the poorest peripheral countries, Nike shoe company understands dependency theory better than some of you 🫵
