Only hypebeasts, posers & content creators are saying or thinking the sneaker game is boring. I’ve been in the game since 88 & it’s never really been boring. Why? Well it’s simple…there’s always something dropping that catches my eye for starters. The fun of hunting a sneaker or trying to hit online for one is always a good rush. Snagging $180 air max for $50 during an insane sale is great. Most of all, putting those fresh kicks on after you’ve gotten the laces just right NEVER gets old. Especially if you’re rocking em to a cool event or great night out with a loved one. Quite simply, nothing will EVER be boring if you truly love it. I truly love beautiful sneakers. They’re like my antidepressant. I can throw on a $2 T-shirt, $5 pair of shorts & a $150 pair of fresh kicks & feel like a million dollars on my way out to live life. It’ll NEVER get boring. 🙏🏼

My guy, I'm gonna slightly have to disagree. I like wild, different and creative designs and I feel too many have been playing it safe in order to make a sale. The few off the wall releases have been absolute fire though. I'm excited they brought back Dennis Rodman's kicks in a recent collab (even though these kids don't know who he is #Pistons) and I'm looking forward to copping a pair. Other than that, there's only an handful of creative pairs to grab..... that's what makes it slightly boring

@@otrwarrior I was SUPER stoked about the Rodmans. So much so, I tried to make em my first & probably only Supreme purchase ever. Bots got em all before me tho. 😂 I do agree with you about a lot of stuff being played safe. Until the Booker “Hike” colorway dropped last month. It’d been a VERY long time since a shoe that wasn’t a true retro dropped that I HAD to have. Still nothing really on the horizon that I can’t live without honestly. Not yet anyways…

So true🤣🤣🤣

You are basically the only ‘sneaker’ content creator I watch now, for the most part it’s the same thing again and again. Every time I watch your vids they are always absolute, bustin, back door banger, certified hood classics! OnG!

I’m absolutely loving this time. I’ve been buying so many SB’s I’ve wanted for some time for crazy prices. For example I purchased a used pair of Sean Cliver’s size 13 for $225 on goat. They were dirty but not anywhere near horrible. Whoever sold them literally just didn’t clean them. I used FZ150 and I shit you not they look brand new. I knew they were going to be a steal bc the bottoms were still almost clear and glitter looked new. $7/$800 sneaker for $225 bc someone was too lazy or spoiled to clean. I’ve must have bought 10 pairs of SB’s for 50-70% off the resale price since January no lie!!

That's why we have curators like you to keep the bussin bangers real and consistent. The passion is inspiring!

After finally starting a career and making a little money, I got back into sneakers following a 4 year hiatus. I think I came back at a great time since the market is so low and I can generally get many silhouettes I've been eyeing for slightly above or below retail. I think its a great time to be a sneakerhead and I'm having a blast! Great points made in your video; keep it going!

Unfortunately for myself the new generation of sneaker resellers and most of the spotty faced content makers make old school collectors like myself less likely to continue collecting. It’s just not the same as 5/10 years ago which is sad. I’ll still always love my collection tho! Keep up the good content fella!

Honestly, I think this is the realistic viewership for sneaker content. A lot of people got caught up in the resell hype, tried their hand but realised it’s quite an expensive ‘side hustle’ with the added reality that the hype sneaker of the time was nigh impossible to grab a win for retail! True sneaker heads will always be here for sneakers, we’re a resilient bunch!

98% of sneaker are boring in recent times. Your content is not!! Pure gold!!

People that have been into sneakers will forever be into them to a certain degree. Re sellers are leaving the game because there isn’t money to be made like it was back in the day. Sneakers aren’t boring, right now is the best time to buy what you like, a lot stuff is sitting. (Not everything but a good bit.) Hypebeasts and resellers brought alot of new comers into this space and I feel like a lot of them are leaving or losing interest. Which is fine. From reps to shock drops back dooring law suits and dumb trends it’s come a long way. No matter what happens I’ll keep wearing what I like and everyone should too.

Since the pandemic I became a dad and the costs of child care plus inflation has totally killed my obsession with sneakers but you’ve been one of the few folks I still check in on! I appreciate your subtle and level headed takes.

Bro the lace up videos are like torture if I don't see a notification for you or @notripping I ain't clicking

People are drifting away from having every single hype nike, if you're genuinely into sneakers you'll always get a buzz from finding something you like. Doesn't help when you get someone like coolkicks trying to sell fakes off to another store then dumping on them for holding non hype sneaks, toxicity pushes people away.

I've been into sneakers since I was a kid (grew up in the Jordan era), but never really had the money to buy sneakers until 2020 when my career took off. Now I'm loving it! Great sneakers that are not over-priced and great content creators such as yourself making content for true sneaker fans, not hypebeasts and resellers. It's an exciting time for snkrs. Btw your short videos are hilarious 😂

sneakernomics been my go to for content for quite awhile now. No hype, just a good wholesome chap giving us some realness!!!

One of the only new footwear content creators I enjoy, and it’s because you are right! Other content creators got too comfortable and got bland, you try to dive in different angles from the consumer and I appreciate that! Keep it up.

I'm 52 yrs old been wearing creps since I was 10 when we started breakin. Hip Hop culture is a integral part of sneaker culture. I still talk with my friends about creps & clothes it's part of who I am!

Love that, absolutely right about how hip hop culture and sneaker culture intersect

I like how you gave a shout out to other channels but I hope you know you're one of the best in the business. Love your content & sneaker news is never boring when you drop it

The problem right now is that we are tired of the constant releases that are flooding the market with mediocre color swaps or collab designs. In terms of Nike, they’ve been releasing a new colorway almost every week of Aj#s and dunks. No real innovation of new shoes, and not enough collaborations that keep the interest in people. I also think that the decline of sneakers is simply due to the volatile nature of both retailer and reseller costs. Shoes are slowly getting more expensive retail side and resellers are simply going to ask x2-3 over that. As a whole, whenever I think about the state of the sneaker community I always think it’s fighting itself. On one hand, you have hypeheads/ resellers crying about lost profits and not moving enough pairs and on the other, you have consumers who cry over the price of shoes and people who are simply bored of recolors of classic silhouettes. But the silver lining is that I think more people are exploring different brands. I’ve been enjoying designs from New Balance, Asics / Onitsuka Tiger, Adidas / Yeezy, and even going back in time to older Nike designs that had fallen off under retail. I’ve still been keeping tabs on releases, just not too close anymore.

Looking forward to more of your certified good classics!

Found you this year. New around the whole scene. I’m having fun haha

Another Gem Video - Always bringing great watches !! Keep it up !!

I’m with you. It’s a great time to be a sneaker head. News, tide’s shifting, all the big players in the shoe business are shacking things up. Change is painful, but necessary.

Good, hopefully more pairs go on sale. Went to the mall yesterday and saw lot of ones on sale.

You are correct man. You are the only snkrs content creator I still watch because I love your humor. Keep it up bro!

I think people like yourself, Morgan and Ryan Sullivan will always get followed. Can see it’s a passion, not trendy, and it’s good all around content, not to mention you guys are all hilarious. Keep it up broski

Used market is insane rn. Buying up a bunch of shoes, under retail, from people who were too scared to wear them or that were paid for by stimulus money so they couldn't afford to wear them. 1-3 wears concords. Bred 11s. Infrared 6.. love it

Thanks for the video. Very accurate. Not boring at all. I have copped the AJ4 on shock drop and I am very happy with it💙

I grabbed the 998 concepts and love them, the 180 proce tag was boku as well. Also have gel nyc's in my finishline cart when im feeling saucy

if your only in it for the money and hype then yes sneakers is probably dead to you, but youve also not been into sneakers very long. all the people who buy sneakers they like, want to actually wear your shoes, loves the culture know this might be the best time to get classics for cheaper than ever. Sidenote: if your from chicago jordans are essential

Sneakers aren't boring. Sneaker content is boring. Only guys I watch now are you, Weartesters and Tripping. You and weartesters for the OG head content and you and Tripping for the comedy. Yeah Tripping pushes reps, but he's funny and is spot on with his critiques of hypebeast culture. The boxing bell going off any time he mentions Blazendary always gives me a laugh.

What isn't a trend... The nomicz! Certified hood classic

I def feel they kinda are. As an AM1 head little colourways the past 5-6 years have been exciting to me. Mid 2010s pairs are popping though.

This is why I subscribe to Jordan has always been a real one. Sneakers are at an all time high. More available to us than ever before.

Seeing more brands and being able to cop a lot of the sneakers I wanted at retail (or even below) as of late, I'd say sneakers have never been more exciting 😂

still big fan and we appreciate your work🤘🤘

A lot of good thoughts here. I would say that I agree, that resale is on the downward trend and prices are falling. A lot of people that got into sneakers for resale are moving on to the next thing. These are the people that are also one dimensional, and have probably moved on to ply their "hit trend" to a new audience. With all that, sneakers are easier to get and a lot of good colorways are going on sale. But I will say, there is/was an over saturation of the market and brands pushed a lot of rinse and repeat styles on us because the market was so hot for a while. I think this has lead to a lack of interesting styles and colorways being on the market. I know the 2000s runner is on trend right now, but my issue with that style shoe is that there's too many models that all look the same. The difference between the Asics 1130, 2160, Kayano 14, and Gel NYC are negligible (I know that this could be said with any segment of the market like basketball and the Dunk, Air Ship, Jordan 1 all look the same too). It just feels like collabs aren't pushing the limits much any more and ultimately there's not too much that feels fresh and interesting going on. Maybe this is all a skewed perception based on the last few years of the over saturation I spoke of.

Last 4 complex sneakers shows have been a real snooze.

Even the og sneakers are boring. So many youtubers telling you what to buy or you're missing out. Smh

Im not bored with sneakers for the simple fact growing up I only got 2 pairs a year, 1 for the new school year, and another pair in March/April for the summer coming. Matter of fact I only had 1 pair of jordans when I was 7 and didnt get another one until I started working at 17, me being in my mid 30's now, I still fill the need to make up for my childhood, which is why im not bored with sneakers yet.

Agree, best time to be a sneakerhead. So many Sales.

Well said Jordan. Sneaker content and hype blew up because of the pandemic/lockdowns. The world is returning into a new normal, touching grass.

Sneakers r not going down but other casual wear shoes r definitely picking up, specially due to this new “old money” outfits trend. I work for a VC fund, D2C casual wear shoes market is going up at a much higher rate than the sneaker market. Sneaker market has become kinda stagnant. If it weren’t for the collab deals that Nike and Adidas do, we definitely would have seen some downfall in the sneaker market.

I watch 3 sneaker channels on KZread. Seth Fowler, Elliot Page and of course the man himself Mr Sneakernomics. Of all 3 this is definitely the best channel. Love the comedy short vids too. Keep up the good work bro

Being a sneakerhead right now is a lot like being a pre 2005 Chelsea fan. All the tourists have gone and your just left with those who care. Which is perfect 👌

I’ve always loved shoes since childhood. Nothing like putting on a fresh pair and stepping out. I wish I could talk to my dad about all the pairs he got me as a kid. That’s definitely where the love for sneakers comes from for me.

Sneakers will never be boring for a true sneaker head…and agree it’s great to be able to get what I want and not have to pay a ridiculous amount for them!

Sneaker collecting was a fun hobby. Then Tik Tok and the pandemic came along and blasted it into the mainstream. And once people realized you could make some good money reselling as a side hustle, everyone jumped on it. And now that the bandwagoners realized it was a trend and gotten bored of it, realizing how dumb it was to blow all that money on shoes you only wear a couple times and have to clean and maintain a lot, they’ve finally just unplugged from it.

I think the main reason a lot of people are saying that sneakers are boring are just looking at resell and hype. With that mindset the sneaker game got boring, but there is more to it. For me personal, I got overwhelmed over the past few months and Nike is in my opinion the main contributor for this. Nike released so many Jordan 1s and dunks that I can barely see anymore of them even though I own some myself and love to wear them. Maybe this is nostalgia and a false memory of the past but I feel like there were more interesting releases in the past or maybe they were just hitting more. One of my most favorite sneaker of all time is the OG Travis Scott Air Force 1. It has so many details and got so much love and is just fire. Also the Off White Nikes brought so much heat and interesting takes. In general, I feel like the sneaker game shifted drastically over the last few months. There was a time Nike and Adidas were in the spotlight and everything else was kinda trash and nowadays the tables flipped. New brands are coming up and clothing brands are brinning out great designs. Especially Asics are killing it and a year ago nobody could have imagined Asics being as hot as they are right now. Peso, a German brand, released their first sneaker a few weeks ago. It sold out instantly and was all over social media in Germany. I got one pair myself and they are dope. When it comes to sneaker content a lot got stail and many creators are just boring and don't really have a personality tbh. Ironically, I think your content is actually really interesting and videos like this are really nice and the chosen topics bring some debate in the culture. Most sneaker videos seem like copy pastes and when a sneaker comes out you have like ten reviews, what can be nice, but tbh you will just look at one review, especially if you know who got your shoe size as well. This month is everything but boring and has some serious heat and there are many interesting releases this year. Thanks for this interesting insight and topic.

I used to pop into Nice kicks in Austin before the 2010s. I've been to obsessed too long

You have to give camskicks his flowers. I saw his sneaker buyout in store before anyone else started that content.

I do wish they’d make more 5’s and 3’s or accessible SB’s like the vintage green deep royal pair

I totally agree with ya!! Don’t get me wrong I love all the Hype 💩 and have a lot of it, but it’s for me. I’m not a reseller just a collector of dope shoes. So yeah it’s a great time to be a shoe collector and even a shoe content creator as long as like you said keep that shit interesting. Dope video as always brotha🙏🏽👊🏽🔥

All facts my g

Most popular models are retros. Besides Yeezy, not many new silhouettes gain popularity. It is not surprising fatigue has set in.

I don't know how anyone can say that it's boring right now. We've got amazing releases from every brand, awesome collabs, actual availability, reasonable prices and then hype beasts have departed for the most part. It was actually more boring a couple of years back when literally every single half decent release sold out immediately and then went crazy on resale. That wasn't interesting. It's been really interesting watching some creators scratch around for the next major hyped brand or model. With Jordan's sitting, Yeezys getting pulled, it actually takes work to create content again and that's when the good folks, such as yourself, will shine.

Once again you are on point. Snkr game not boring; it’s just returning to those who luv them

Great video

Are those the Twin Peaks sb highs behind you?

I still love sneakers and even more nowadays tbh. The deals out right now our amazing. If anything, it’s simply not as cool as it used to be but that’s great imo. It was never about being cool or fitting in but rather the actual love for sneakers…If you feel turned off by sneakers atm, I honestly think you were never into them

I'm at the point where I wear my shoes and are selective of colorways in which I will wear. I want SB dunks more than ever and I own 3 of MJ's retro shoes he wore in Championships. AJ1 and AJ4 hype is dying and the colorways lately for them are sitting in malls. This year SB doesn't have a great shoe coming out bc most of them are suede material. They will sell out, but true sneaker heads are not feeling them.

Sneakers aren’t boring, it’s the sneaker content creators that got boring. I can only watch a negation or coin flips at sneaker con so many times before I stop caring, plus most of that garbage is scripted. Now only I watch channels that do reviews on new sneakers and drop news on sneakers, sadly I don’t think that kind of content is as exciting for the younger audience. It is to me tho

This past year I haven't bought as many pairs. I've been spending a lot more money on jewelry and noticing that a lot more people are getting into the jewelry game too. Gold is at and all time high now.

Yes and no. I personally have a fully stacked collection around 60 pairs and not impressed by some of the stuff releasing this year. Good time to pick up some retros though - picked up military blue 4s, bred reimagined 4s, Chicago SBs and big money savings

Im happy I can double up on stuff that I wouldn’t even had a chance of getting a couple years ago for retail

Great time for sneakers!

Im still happy because im a sneakerhead. I'm realizing there's more so-called resellers out here they be calling timeless classics bricks, etc. Ugh, i realized that tkday with the Darwins, AJ4s, etc. 😮😬 😳 these new breed folks are lowkey scary!

Gigi 2 are sitting........that blew my mind!! But I'm thinking they've produced so many colorways it's flooded the market!!! I haven't bought anything in months!!

When the jordan 1 is the center of your sneaker universe, thats how you know you're a covid sneaker head.

Still here for it. Always will be

As you said it’s the best time ever for a true collector or enthusiast. Literally woke up late today (11:40) and I noticed I had the EA on SNKRS for the military blue, just my luck they still had my size sitting so copped instantly! Hopefully it continues to crash so we get a better chance of copping in future. Even passed on the EA for the reimagined 4s😂

You're never boring. Therefore no not boring. sounds like a resaler movement

Maybe youre right. Got early access on the mili blue j4's, and was like"naaah no thank you"

The problem is we are flooded with a huge saturation of sneakers anticipation is basically dead and extinct when it comes to shoes plus shoes cost too much damn money

Idk about shoes,but you never boring😂😂😊

Sneakers are only boring to people who just got into it for hype or reselling it could never be boring to people who actually love sneakers.
