Where has this breathless desperation for trabs come from? I mean queuing up for 15hrs for a pair of trabs?
Money to be made Bryan. My lad managed to get a pair of newly issued Jordans for £180, sold them the same day for a grand. God knows how/why anyone would pay that, but they do.
 
Ive collected them for 15 years mate and up until about 4 years ago you could just go the shop on release day and get them easy, far different now and i put it down to the hype created on social media, the malmo that are coming out in january will be another overnight que but when they where last released in 2011 in remember strolling into size? days after release and getting them off the shelf, they go for £300 brand new now, its gone crazy

Same with the 08 Dublin, Stockholm and London. I remember going into Size in town and picking up the Stockholm's about a week or 2 after they'd been released and there were loads left. A far cry from the scenes last Friday!!
A lot of people have got onto the money to be made with these hyped up releases and are happy to queue up then stick them straight on eBay with a 300% mark-up.
 
My lad was desperate to get some Adidas yeezy on Saturday. "But they're badly wool son" I protested.

Turns out he wanted them just to sell. They are on eBay for up to 5 times the RRP.

An absolute textbook case of limiting supply to create demand
 

Apparently there are 2 more pairs of Dublin coming out, a made in Taiwan pair in December which are all dark blue and a St Patricks day pair in March which are green, both size? exclusives.
 

this 'size exclusives' just means they've applied for a license to get them made from Adidas, you only have to get about 1000 pairs made to be able to do it.



& isn't size just an arm of JD who also have 'jd exclusive' often inferior to the originals.
