Every single weekend it’s the same story. Nike drops some rare, exclusive sneaker on its SNKRS app, people hop in a virtual line for it and then, poof, it’s gone. Just like that. Sold out.
Yet, sneakerheads everywhere keep lining up over and over and over again. It happened again on Saturday with Jordan Brand’s “University Blue” Air Jordan 1 release.
The shoe was set to release at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, like the usual SNKRS drop. But there was so much demand for these things. And rightfully so.
They look absolutely incredible. It’s a Jordan 1 in a UNC blue color. You cannot go wrong with that combination. Look at this thing.
Clean and Classic detailing.

Just super clean. It didn’t matter, though. The W’s were hard to come by.

So many people took L's
There were so many L’s to go around on these things. It wasn’t a pretty sight.

Sheesh, man.
The worst part was the reseller e-mails after
After every L they take, sneaker lovers are always expecting to get that e-mail from resale platforms egging them on to go buy the shoes on the secondary market.
Just a gut punch.

And the worst part is that even if you wanted to go to StockX and buy a pair for resale value, you can’t. Because the app is broken. Why? Because a ton of people who just purchased the shoes only bought them to resell them.
StockX is down because everyone is buying to flip. I hate it here

Man. The game is broken.
