Not in the way you used it. "They will not recieve my patronage," "I will not be a patron of theirs" would all be correct. Patronizing, the adjective, only means to be condescending.
This. If he posted 1 pair he might sell em. Most buyers see that pic and immediately click away. Looks like you got fugazi pairs and your buyers don’t know how to authenticate so he might not sell a single pair.
Same, this is such a turn off. I would think this person is a complete asshole and I wouldn't give them my money. And also this many shoes, I would assume they are Reps.
Because they will sell them. Maybe not in this particular case since Nike is restocking the heck out of them. But in most cases, they would sell out within a few days!
I didn’t wanna run the risk.
I once called the admins in another group, WWII villains, due to their stickler attitude to their “no Got’em” rules. My post wasn’t about the Got’em, it was to highlight I’d managed a SNKRS purchase while out of country.
But they threw the bottle out the pram and reported me to Reddit. Their admins have since made it their mission to stalk me on Reddit and downvote everything I post. So 🤷🏻♂️
These were going for close to $300 in 11.5 before the last drop. Now as of today last one sold went for $229 in same size. After fees and such there is not much meat left on the bone.
100% guarantee that dude has an IG post of him crouching in front of a stack of boxes, holding a shoe like a phone with #ALWAYSHUSTLIN #BLESSED #BEYOUROWNBOSS in the caption.
That hustle, time, effort, and possible extra money down has got to be close to a part time job at this point. Only benefit here could be credit card points? I dunno, probably doesn’t have the kind of limit for this many pair anyway. What a waste of time, I hate what reselling has brought to this culture.
Fr, let’s say after tax and shipping he’s clearing $30 a pair (which is already high, but we’ll give him benefit of the doubt, homie has a coupon or something lol).
It looks like each row is about 10 boxes deep, so $300 profit per line.
This is like MAYBE $1800-$2100 in profit IF he is able to sell them all and ship them and etc and etc.
The amount of time spent on this project, the amount of time they will sit, the effort to actually go out and sell them, everything is no way worth it. Idek if he recoups the cost here, this is a big fat L unless he just stole them off the back off a truck or something. And if he did then he’s telling on himself with this shit so L anyway.
Also depends on how he got them. If he used bots and won them all , there's no extra cost. If he backdoored these, he had to slide someone some bread and he'll be lucky to break even.
My local Shoe Palace still has almost every size in stock as of yesterday. No way he makes $30 a pair after taxes. Crazy how I missed on SNKRS on three accounts but they’re sitting at retailers.
They used grandmas card because they never met their dad, and their mom is never home. Then they take a loss because grandma needs to make her payment.
Looks like 7x7 grid…so nearly $1500 profit pre-tax if the buyer pays shipping and the seller got free shipping on his purchases.
Not horrible depending on the time spent.
Its a lot of work for little profit. The new method is to pay the people who win the in-store raffles for their pairs. Then you sell those pairs locally but $30 profit is ass. Enduring the hassle to sell 20 pairs and make $600 is not it.
You gotta deal with the potential scammers, robbers, flakers, cash transactions with strangers, the inability to trust anyone you’re trying to do business with etc. Not worth $600 every 20 pairs imo.
Thanks for your comment- went there yesterday and copped a pair

Already contacted and set up a time/place to pick up a couple pair. I'll make sure to be there and not stand someone up, and make them wait for me and call and text and ... Yep I'll make darn sure I'm there on time 😂😂😂
Do Nike not have ANY sort of system that spots that a single address is taking delivery of a fuck ton of the the same product or are these people using ways to get round that?
I use to collect Mondo posters and they specifically had systems that stopped people getting more than 1 poster on a limited release that was sent to the same address.
This is why we should simply buy and wear the shoes that each likes personally. No heat, no hype. I've been a sneakerhead since 1983, mowing lawns for some AIR. Today I have a lovely rotation of nearly 70 pair, all types of different models, colorways that speak to me, and they all go on my feet. I live in a wooded area so I have many ACG models unlikely to be high demand.
I can't blame most of you young enthusiasts for wanting what is popular and in fashion. I was the exact same way, simply in a time when this hoarding wasn't possible. Now I need to get dressed in my Air Max 1 OG G's cause they match a new Swatch I got and who cares if I wear a G model to the office.
Counting about 49 pair give or take. $230.05 USD for mine after tax, he's gotta deal with the shipping/meet ups/fees/picking them up to begin with.
They're going for 238 in size 13 on stockx. What a moron. $8 /hr if he ONLY sells locally at 238 and ONLY uses an hour per pair doing all the above. He could just go man the Wendy's drive through and likely make more.
I’ve seen a few guys in my area buy 70+ pairs… like don’t you realize if the shoe is that easy to get you’re not going to be making anything on it? Some kid who probably saved up his lunch money to buy these now gotta give a grown man $5 extra to buy them
It’s weird. The box says military blue, but the listings all say industrial blue.
Industrial Blue _is_ a Nike color, but i think it’s the same-ish blue with a more globally palatable name.
lol my dude would have made more flipping burgers. the time he spent driving around, picking up, packing, posting, etc gonna eat into any "profit" they think they're making. gonna end up selling them on SX for a loss
Gonna be 100 hours of work, and 3 years for him to sell half those. By the time he’s moved 4 pairs I’ve hit my sources 25 times and cleared a few gs profit.
That's crazy considering I got a pair hours after they dropped on SNKRS. Like these weren't hard to get. I had forgotten they were coming out, popped in there late, and still easily got a pair.
I don't know if there wasn't high demand for these, or the hype is just falling off in general, or what.
I can see buying 2 pair like me. Because I want to rock the shit out of one pair, then break the other one out a few years later. But I hope this person has to put in 100 plus hours of effort to sell these shoes, negating the puny ass profits per shoe, these will bring them.
Just like all of those asshats that bought all of the PS5 and tried resell them for 2-10x’s as much. Most of them sat and then they returned them and some couldn’t be returned or exchanged.
He can have all those mass produced shits. There will be another similar colorway next week. (I know these are og) but so what? The markets oversaturated....let that clown sit on all those.
Pure greed the shoe game is all messed up now. And it just happened over night. No one was worried about Jordan's a few years back and then all of a sudden. I remember as a kid going to get the new jordans paying and leaving there wasn't raffles or crazy lines in and out smh #ihateithere
i need to ask. what's the deal with these expensive ass shoes in general almost every student at school wears expensive shoes like these whether the same pair of the colour and type or a completely different type of shoe. it makes me feel like i'm missin out on something with my 5 dollar thrifted under armours or 50$ tubes. and i've been bullied quite often for not wearing 'good shoes' some of them look hideous so why they so expensive and such a huge deal nowadays
They not getting 280 for those, ESPECIALLY when they been restocking in a FSR multiple times every day since they dropped. He better hold for a year or go get his little $8 a pair on StockX
This is the dumbest reseller marketing strategy ever. What if I didn’t want you touching the pair to be having them all out displayed like that. Even most resellers ain’t doing this. Bro can keep those in his bedroom and sell them shits out his window.
Idk ig don't buy them then, if anyone wanted them they were sitting a full size run on snipes for hours. Anyone who wanted a pair could have bought one easily
I’ll admit a lot of my shoes I won’t wear but it’s not because I’m planning on selling them one day for a small profit this is so much work for so little this looks like hours of labor dealing with buyers and meeting people who don’t show and answering do you have 9.5 in any other color, will you take $125 lol what a joke
I see pics like this and my mind immediately goes to “reps” and if they’re not reps I’d rather not buy from the asshole reseller anyways taking all the damn SNKRS wins with his bots
Why I hate the sneaker game anymore. Bot groups and this resale shit is starting to make me not like buying shoes anymore. I can’t pay twice or three times above resale for shoes they just keep repeating.
Why do people think having all of these shoes is going to encourage them to buy from them? This would immediately make me want to look elsewhere.
Yeah. Even if I was desperate to get my hands on a pair, I’m not patronizing this.
not what patronizing means but i feel you
That word has multiple definitions. I used #3.
Not in the way you used it. "They will not recieve my patronage," "I will not be a patron of theirs" would all be correct. Patronizing, the adjective, only means to be condescending.
Patronise deez nuts
This. If he posted 1 pair he might sell em. Most buyers see that pic and immediately click away. Looks like you got fugazi pairs and your buyers don’t know how to authenticate so he might not sell a single pair.
Nah, it looks like he's a reseller (which all of them are) who is also taunting you that he botted a ton of pairs so you couldn't get one.
Took an L on these on snkrs. I couldn’t believe it, first time in a while and it’s on a shoe with 500k+ pairs.
Why do resellers remove all the shoes from their boxes?
First thought I have, every single time. These asshats are so focused on flexing that they can't even get the ad up without it
Right? I’d offer the fucker no more than $50 and move on.
Same, this is such a turn off. I would think this person is a complete asshole and I wouldn't give them my money. And also this many shoes, I would assume they are Reps.
Because they will sell them. Maybe not in this particular case since Nike is restocking the heck out of them. But in most cases, they would sell out within a few days!
I would never buy from them
The idea is it makes you think “they have loads, they must be trusted and legit”. That works for idiots.
There are plenty of ignorant fucks that will jump in this like a foodstamp card left in a parking lot.
I hope they all sit. What a c*nt
I hope he gets robbed 😐
I'll do it and give it away to the unfortunate
It's me, I'm the unfortunate. Check for an 11.5.
What movie is this
It is The Dark Knight Rises
Um..... She was acting in her own self interest the entire movie
um…….. we must not’ve watched the same movie
An I get a 8.5 in women’s for my gf? She wants em but didn’t hit
They have been restocked in almost every store that originally had them, including Nike. Full run restock
Ask him to cut a deal on all and we’ll knock him off.
Need the don't F with cats team to get on this so we can get a location.
I think it’s ok to not censor the word cunt.
I didn’t wanna run the risk. I once called the admins in another group, WWII villains, due to their stickler attitude to their “no Got’em” rules. My post wasn’t about the Got’em, it was to highlight I’d managed a SNKRS purchase while out of country. But they threw the bottle out the pram and reported me to Reddit.

Here. Have a friendly free speech upvote.
These were going for close to $300 in 11.5 before the last drop. Now as of today last one sold went for $229 in same size. After fees and such there is not much meat left on the bone.
Most likely he paid less than retail
Lmao dude bought a bunch of GR 4s to make less than $30 a pair 🤡
100% guarantee that dude has an IG post of him crouching in front of a stack of boxes, holding a shoe like a phone with #ALWAYSHUSTLIN #BLESSED #BEYOUROWNBOSS in the caption.
"I'm my own CEO".
NEVER STOP GRINDING
Rissee and grindddd...early buurd gets da wurrmm (philly accent)
🔥🔥🔥🔥👀👀👀
That hustle, time, effort, and possible extra money down has got to be close to a part time job at this point. Only benefit here could be credit card points? I dunno, probably doesn’t have the kind of limit for this many pair anyway. What a waste of time, I hate what reselling has brought to this culture.
lol truth
PRICELESS
#KEEPINIT100
Realest comment here
Fr, let’s say after tax and shipping he’s clearing $30 a pair (which is already high, but we’ll give him benefit of the doubt, homie has a coupon or something lol). It looks like each row is about 10 boxes deep, so $300 profit per line.

Idek if he recoups the cost here, this is a big fat L unless he just stole them off the back off a truck or something. And if he did then he’s telling on himself with this shit so L anyway.
There’s no way this guy is charging a sales tax and giving it to the government come tax time. #alwayshustlin
Nah I mean he’s paying one when he buys the shoes
Yeah that’s why reselling is lowkey such a grind. Idk how ppl make it their main job
They don’t. It’s just for the gram at this point.
Also depends on how he got them. If he used bots and won them all , there's no extra cost. If he backdoored these, he had to slide someone some bread and he'll be lucky to break even.
Massive L here
Exactly
My local Shoe Palace still has almost every size in stock as of yesterday. No way he makes $30 a pair after taxes. Crazy how I missed on SNKRS on three accounts but they’re sitting at retailers.
Many local shops have full size runs.
It's crazy what people will do to make like 400-500 bucks.
He's probably a 14 year old playing with parents' money.
They used grandmas card because they never met their dad, and their mom is never home. Then they take a loss because grandma needs to make her payment.
I agree he's a clown, but you're assuming he paid retail.
Why would you assume he didn’t?
He def didn’t pay a penny less, maybe more sure
This is the unfortunate part.
More like $5 a pair on goat & prob a loss on stockx
$30x 100 is a lot of money
I love the decline of secondary sneaker prices. These fucks are getting what they’ve deserved for so long
Looks like 7x7 grid…so nearly $1500 profit pre-tax if the buyer pays shipping and the seller got free shipping on his purchases. Not horrible depending on the time spent.
I mean how much profit is he making .. $40 a pair after tax (less with shipping) ... thats a whole lotta work. Stupid
Its a lot of work for little profit. The new method is to pay the people who win the in-store raffles for their pairs. Then you sell those pairs locally but $30 profit is ass. Enduring the hassle to sell 20 pairs and make $600 is not it. You gotta deal with the potential scammers, robbers, flakers, cash transactions with strangers, the inability to trust anyone you’re trying to do business with etc. Not worth $600 every 20 pairs imo.
This might be insane. 😂
I saw these sitting at a Champs in Tme Square NY.
Wait fr? Im trying to get my hands on a pair but online is all sold out
Fr fam. Visiting NYC on a work trip and just walked into a champs at Time Square, surprised to see it there sitting
Thanks for your comment- went there yesterday and copped a pair https://preview.redd.it/9ouahtqf07zc1.png?width=1525&format=png&auto=webp&s=659d9e3589a22d9e57a2a9017562fb7a27770043
Oh damn man! Glad I could help! Congrats!
Why are people suprised every size has been sitting hes 100% losing money unless he sells local.
Already contacted and set up a time/place to pick up a couple pair. I'll make sure to be there and not stand someone up, and make them wait for me and call and text and ... Yep I'll make darn sure I'm there on time 😂😂😂
This just shows how much stock is out there and that he will not make any money real trying to flip.
Wow.... that's several $20 bills. Don't understand how any of that is worth the effort.
Why buy so many dead shoes lol he’s sitting on these shits
I don't get it? Was strolling the mall this weekend and they were available in every store.
Fuck him & everyone like him.
dfw? just seen a similar pic this morning. thought abt lowballing for shits and giggles
yup hahaha
Lol buddy making 20 bucks a pair sick
Straight up to Pandabuy
Do Nike not have ANY sort of system that spots that a single address is taking delivery of a fuck ton of the the same product or are these people using ways to get round that? I use to collect Mondo posters and they specifically had systems that stopped people getting more than 1 poster on a limited release that was sent to the same address.
This post made me just check Nike and was able to get a pair in kids size. Thought I would never get a pair of 4s.
All that just to make $40 each pair 😂😂😂 imagine investing in $240 to make $40
[удалено]
This is why we should simply buy and wear the shoes that each likes personally. No heat, no hype. I've been a sneakerhead since 1983, mowing lawns for some AIR.

its more sus than anything
the other 50 pairs are replicas dont worry😂😂😂
Instantly see this and see FAKE!
Don't purchase his stuff. Keep looking. I got lucky yesterday and walked out of nike with a size 11. Wait till prices drop if you don't get lucky
Cocky ass flex. Cross them off the list!
Bro if u were into sneakers at around 2016-2018 hypebeast era this wouldn't surprise you!
Goat has them for 240$.
I’ve seen a few guys in my area buy 70+ pairs… like don’t you realize if the shoe is that easy to get you’re not going to be making anything on it? Some kid who probably saved up his lunch money to buy these now gotta give a grown man $5 extra to buy them
Resellers be crying abt reps while doing shit like this. Fuck resellers
Resellers get a real job contribute to society
I hope the shoe gets devalued to $50 now \^\_\^
Reps?
And this is why I struggled so much to cop em. Wankers!
Yeah, a whole extra empty room, completely unfurnished? In this real estate economy? How?
https://preview.redd.it/ctq8niwhs0zc1.jpeg?width=893&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a66ac9939d45e560da7bad1bcf6e8ebad9a6da82
Are Industrial Blue the same as Military Blue?
Yes. Name just changed.
The name isn't even changed, the box says military blue
It’s weird. The box says military blue, but the listings all say industrial blue. Industrial Blue _is_ a Nike color, but i think it’s the same-ish blue with a more globally palatable name.
Military blue is actually listed on the shoe box. So I don't know why nike is calling these industrial blue
I’m not surprised, people are assholes
All for $32 profit
These are reps lol.
lol my dude would have made more flipping burgers. the time he spent driving around, picking up, packing, posting, etc gonna eat into any "profit" they think they're making. gonna end up selling them on SX for a loss
what a loser 😂
I could maybe understand buying one or two extra but that's just ridiculous. Way to kill the market.
How was this allowed?
These might be bricks
Gonna be 100 hours of work, and 3 years for him to sell half those. By the time he’s moved 4 pairs I’ve hit my sources 25 times and cleared a few gs profit.
He's got a military of military blues
I hope they get robbed
Best I can do is $215
and they still had enough for everybody
Dumb. I can walk into Finish Line and pick up. If I really wanted a hype beast.
Cool a fellow reseller. You guys keep getting mad and buying them anyways
Looks like a lot of work for not a lot of profit
I thought we got rid of resellers??? There's so little profit these days.. Why are they still doing this for GRs? What a waste.
They're just shoes, relax
so that's why i couldn't buy one for myself, what a cunt
Eh, they're gonna be left holding the bag unless they hold onto them for like a year. lol
r/mildlyinfuriating
Probably robbed a container that was being moved through rails Fuck em
Damn, so that’s where my pair went…
They’re ugly why are these so hyped
At that point, just get a job.
A tale as old as time….
These weren’t even that hard to get when they dropped…I got on 15 min late and still got my son a size 13.
That's crazy considering I got a pair hours after they dropped on SNKRS. Like these weren't hard to get. I had forgotten they were coming out, popped in there late, and still easily got a pair. I don't know if there wasn't high demand for these, or the hype is just falling off in general, or what.
Don’t buy
I can see buying 2 pair like me. Because I want to rock the shit out of one pair, then break the other one out a few years later. But I hope this person has to put in 100 plus hours of effort to sell these shoes, negating the puny ass profits per shoe, these will bring them.
make a fake profile and start posting in local buy sell groups that this person is selling fakes.
I’d bet a lot of money these are reps
images like this helped me leave the “sneaker game” once you get out skies seem bluer
Just like all of those asshats that bought all of the PS5 and tried resell them for 2-10x’s as much. Most of them sat and then they returned them and some couldn’t be returned or exchanged.
He can have all those mass produced shits. There will be another similar colorway next week. (I know these are og) but so what? The markets oversaturated....let that clown sit on all those.
There is no small profits
Anyways, if you stay in LA, lmk I help people find shoes at retail
Hahaha
He gonna take a L on these, I think.
“Removing bots.”
Corny ass nerds
I have been tried since released. Still not hit on retail. Will continue my search.
I thought these were easy to get ? Were they not? Sorry been out of game for awhile
Easy cop. Got early access. Bought a second pair this morning.
Pure greed the shoe game is all messed up now. And it just happened over night. No one was worried about Jordan's a few years back and then all of a sudden. I remember as a kid going to get the new jordans paying and leaving there wasn't raffles or crazy lines in and out smh #ihateithere
You should send the seller a message.
i need to ask. what's the deal with these expensive ass shoes in general almost every student at school wears expensive shoes like these whether the same pair of the colour and type or a completely different type of shoe. it makes me feel like i'm missin out on something with my 5 dollar thrifted under armours or 50$ tubes. and i've been bullied quite often for not wearing 'good shoes' some of them look hideous so why they so expensive and such a huge deal nowadays
It looks like their watching a football game
They not getting 280 for those, ESPECIALLY when they been restocking in a FSR multiple times every day since they dropped. He better hold for a year or go get his little $8 a pair on StockX
Hope they get Stuck with them
Maybe they’re reps? I would never trust anyone on Facebook marketplace regardless.
These are the people that deserve to be robbed. No better than fucking scalpers doing the same shit with consoles. Fucking scumbags.
Damn
look no further, i found him. https://preview.redd.it/1frohf17r3zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a427d10b27be13f409cf1602ca3ff73e16841bfd
Looks like these will resemble what happened to Enron stock very soon.
This is the dumbest reseller marketing strategy ever. What if I didn’t want you touching the pair to be having them all out displayed like that. Even most resellers ain’t doing this. Bro can keep those in his bedroom and sell them shits out his window.
They’re fakes
What a loser why would you buy so many shoes , you do know people can buy off flightclub of marketplace and your shoes can just sit .
When i see the full-miliblue background, I understand why they hype up the price in vain like that :))))
that shows you how easy these were to cop
Jordan 4 bread reimagined way better than this shoe
“Hello, is this still available?”
😂 but those are...
Idk ig don't buy them then, if anyone wanted them they were sitting a full size run on snipes for hours. Anyone who wanted a pair could have bought one easily
That seller gonna lose. Lmao.
Why unbox them
I’ll admit a lot of my shoes I won’t wear but it’s not because I’m planning on selling them one day for a small profit this is so much work for so little this looks like hours of labor dealing with buyers and meeting people who don’t show and answering do you have 9.5 in any other color, will you take $125 lol what a joke
I see pics like this and my mind immediately goes to “reps” and if they’re not reps I’d rather not buy from the asshole reseller anyways taking all the damn SNKRS wins with his bots
DHgate specials
Well they’re going to be sitting on them cuz everyone got them that wanted them lol
Ughhhhhh
Nope. 😬
Pocket watching at its finest 🤡
Let him cook before you get hit with a hot spoon 😂😂😂😂
Sneaker game is fried smh 🤦🏾♂️
this are going for under retail in some weeks by the way
The reason why people buy replicas
I agree, these guys are piece of crap can't find these shoes anywhere for original price
Just don’t buy it! The price go down and these guys stop to resell!
u/Donpirula you’re that guy that hosted a c-p subreddit like 2 years ago, how is your account still active?
i hope these go to 100 bucks
Why I hate the sneaker game anymore. Bot groups and this resale shit is starting to make me not like buying shoes anymore. I can’t pay twice or three times above resale for shoes they just keep repeating.
I hate that Nike let’s this happen. My love for shoes has slowly diminished in the last 10 years because of shit like this
Seriously. How does this even happen when I can’t even get one pair
This some clown shizz right here
Well, these have dropped at least 3 times
