I was in Transit on Broadway around the last Air Jordan release, I think it was the Breds, -whatever…
Anyways, while making a purchase, I overheard the females working the register, talking about some lady who came in there earlier with like 3 of her kids, trying to cop the Jays.
To make a long story short, she left out of the store, shoeless, upset and Kids crying. When I asked “why”, one of the Cashiers said: “We, (Transit) Bumped up the prices on ALL Jordans, including the Kid Sizes.” The other cashier was like: “Yeah, that’s fucked up, She looked like one of those single parents too..” -They both stood their with heads down, like they themselves bumped up the price.
It’s everyone’s fault, Mostly Hypebeast, Resellers and Nike themselves. It’s bad enough that you cant score a mens size for retail, but the resellers are flipping kids/youth sizes TOO?
What’s even worse, Nike/Jordan Brand are raising the prices on it’s kicks too. So now what? More demand, more lines, more parents out of luck because their local store either SOLD OUT or DOUBLED the PRICE? I mean, Real Talk, I’ll Cop something else with my bread, but what about that Single Mom, who just want’s a pair or two for her Kids? What about that Teenager that can’t wait on a line, can’t get his Twitter message answered, that saved up just enough bread for the latest Air Jordans, but can’t pay Flight Club prices?
RESELLERS, HYPEBEAST AND NIKE DONE FUCKED THE GAME UP.
