More and more, major sneaker brands are making noise by releasing limited edition sneakers. Limited edition releases was more of a car thing, like the limited edition, Ford Shelby, the Nissan cheap air jordan 96 300zx, the Bentley Continental, etc. Now-a-days you can find limited edition releases on just about anything and people love it. Its human nature, the feeling of being part of something, or even better the feeling of being the select few. Sure it feels good owning something very few people possess and many people want. In fact would be willing to pay very good money to obtain it. Just ask the folks at Tyco back in 1996 when they released the all so famous, or shall I say infamous, tickle me Elmo. Now just last weekend, Nike gave us what will be arguably a hot sneaker - Kobe V Aston Martin Pack, and people will pay God knows how much above its retail value to get their hands on nike air jordan this hot item. Nike did a good job, in creating a lot of hype for this particular release, which includes a pair of [b]Aston Martin branded Kobe Vs and a pair of Hyperdunks[/b]. Given the fact Nike did a drawing for 200 people to buy this item, it was released only in Los Angeles, and apparently only 500 packs were made. Now if indeed only 500 packs were sold, just imagine the feeling if owning a pair and knowing you are a select few in the whole world who owns this pair. That, ladies and gentlemen, is genius! plain genius! There are tons of shoes that fit in the same category as the Kobe V Aston Martin Pack. You've got the Nike Air Yeezy, Dekline Killer Bees, Space Jams, and the list goes on. I for one, am a big fan of sneakers, but you wont find me paying $2000 for a pair of shoes with retail price of $150 - Well, maybe - if I was a multi-millionaire with nothing else better to do with my money (one can dream). If you're the select few in getting limited edition shoes, cheap jordan shoes good for you. for the rest of us, its retail mass produced shoes. I just bought a pair of [b]Kobe V POP and Air Jordan Retro 6 Lakers Edition[/b] and i'm quite happy. My favorite online store is SneakerBuff. They have good prices, and always seem to have deals (I got both of my pairs at 15% off and free shipping). They air jordan 1 ship fast and are very good in terms of costumer service. SneakerBuff is simple, easy to use, not cluttered like 99% of other online stores, they have what I want. I would recommend this site to anyone. |
