I'm ready but my go to spot is not getting a shipment so its NDC or nothing for me. YH you got any spots you know of? I think only HOH is getting them at Southlake DTLR is a no go and I hate Wish for releases because they only seem to get 8.5s.

I hope you get em fam...I'm going for the foams.
I think they're going to be like the dolphins, not as bad as the red eagles, but not as plentiful like the phoenix and orlando colorways.
Already ordered early online. Not battling foam crowds in VA
These stores still have them
http://store.kix-files.com/nike-air-penny-v-invisibility-cloak/
http://www.kixsquare.com/product/nike-air-penny-cloak-v
kix-files ships on the 12th
How legit is that kix site and is it just about pre-orders? I also see they are asking for less then retail(165) how are they making money doing that?

Yea those prices are a little crazy. I ain't never seen prices like that online for real kicks.
I was thinking the same shit. There is absolutely NO REASON to charge cheaper for your shoes than other sites when they gonna sell out regardless. Only way I can possibly see it is if they are a new site and are trying to generate traffic to their site so early on they charge a little cheaper than other sites.
But someone gotta explain the point of that site to do that. Shit man they can actually OVERcharge for their shit and it will still sell out. I see it all the time.
Imma keep an eye on that site. Thanks complex. Cloaks fucking sold out though.

Too good to be true?
And you muthafuckas wonder why Nike keeps raising prices
Charging retail is bad? The retail price is $165. All the GR pairs are going on sale and heading to outlets.
The two most limited colorways(red eagles and dolphins), you can get them for under $250. I went to the mall in the afternoon after the dolphins dropped to see them in person. They still had them, but Dolphins and Red Eagles were the only ones that sold out. So as a business owner are you going to have the sneaker for $225? You can, but that doesn't mean people will buy it and you might be stuck trying to unload them. Are you going to take that risk for $40? When you can buy one stock, sell them. Buy another stock and sell them, and possibly have a bunch of return customers.
Not every sneaker has a huge demand and has to go for $300, not sure why dudes think that. That's why when sneakers get hyped up, the prices go up. There was hype for the royals I, but as it got closer to the release it grew even more. You could have had a preorder for $220 at one point, then it jumped to $250, and then it became more than that. So when the sneaker actually drops, and it's a limited sneaker what do you think will happen? The Olives had less hype and it was grouped in with all the holiday releases so they stayed around $250, Royals shot up to $350 and that's a couple of weeks later, not four months.
Banned I's, they went for $2 something when they dropped. Dudes starting hyping up the quality of the leather and the numbers, and not the gimmick, and they're going for well over 5 now.
For example the ASG Lebron and KD's...don't have close to the hype that last years did. And what happen, even with the prices being higher, the resell prices are very reasonable.
I can go on and on with this shit. The more you hype a sneaker the more you fuck yourself.

I sort of follow what you say but your logic is flawed from a business perspective (more so based on the way you want it be). Just because you charge $40 less than the next man doesn't mean it'll sell out. A shoe selling out comes down to the basic principals of supply and demand. Next, what retailer immediately discounts a new product? Everyday goods like shoes and clothes are sold at MSRP off the rip because of the demand and low purchase price. This isn't like selling a car that is 30k sticker we talking about plain shoes. I'm still not sold on the site but my research says they've been around for a while( no real comments found) and based out of Hong Kong (I'm good right there).

What in the world are you talking about?
I'm not telling you to use the site, it's your choice. I'm giving you options and just posted links.
A whole ten dollars cheaper? Most stores sell product with coupons, codes or military discounts. And they make up for that with shipping cost, because it doesn't really cost that much to ship. With shipping it comes out to around $190.
Kixsquare is charging slightly more than retail, just like sneakerhead. You can buy them on ebay for $200.
And you think I'm going to post sites that aren't legit?
Some of you muthafuckas will complain about anything. It's a bunch of bullshit in this thread lately. It's annoying just coming in this muthafucka.
ive been feeling that way about posting period!
WAYYY to many ignorant silly muthafuckas to maneuver through!

Really? So you telling me that the discounted product sells faster? Wow I never understood that concept! But if the shoe is popular and I charge retail for that same shoe and sell out 2 days after you but my profit is x% greater than yours who really won? Oh and that profit I made allows me offer deeper discounts than your mom n pop store on less popular shoes.
Supply and demand.

I might just be jumping in and talking out of turn, and admittedly I didn't read the back and forth between ya'll (pause) but what are you talking about fam? What mom and pop spot in the bx EVER sells kicks at or below retail?
that doesn't happen bruh, especially if the sneaker has hype around it
I don't know what's up with Complex. I don't know if he regretting coppin' those ugly ass Cloaks or what.
What you're saying to me makes sense and its the same questions i'm asking. I'm not saying the site is fake i'm just saying I don't get their reasoning for charging shoes cheaper.
So they will sell out faster? What?
They gonna sell out regardless.Similar threads
