You may LOVE Nike but that is NOT by accident. Nike plays a dangerous game and we should be hip to the tactics so we don't empty out our pockets. Let us know your gripes or highlights on Nike below. EDIT: Reggie mentioned that Nike was the first to deliver on the first non-athlete collab from a major sports apparel brand. In fact this is an error. Jay-Z came through with the first sneakers in a collab with Reebok and Run DMC actually had an Adidas collection in the 80's. Due to the limited nature of both releases they were overlooked here BUT first is first so shout out to Oscar Lopez for pointing this out! Give him several likes for his knowledge!
I feel you on this. Wish their quality would be consistently better, but their designs are crazy, and their upcoming and current designer collaborations are crazy
Yeah because they make fake scarcity/hype. We can buy Levi's when we want, but we can't buy the Nikes we want because Nike underproduces supply and this makes fake demand when people are just botting releases and holding onto shoes, never intending to wear them.
I remember when Jordan 1s weren’t cool / hype in the late 2000s. They were seen as the cheap version of Jordan’s retros and they had variations like the phat low and the mid with the strap. I use to see the dmp pack with breds and Celtics on the shelf, even the 2013 Chicago’s were on the shelf for a bit in my city.
I kept thinking throughout the video "Nah I like ultraboost for the comfort." And towards the end of the vid you come in with "in the name of comfort" and Ooooooof gg well played, here's a like and a sub
it all really does come down to marketing and personally as someone who got into street wear through the "hypebeast" mentality, I soon came to realize that falling to their tricks and marketing didn't grow you as a person. Sure you feel cool and accepted when you have hype shoes or clothes but its what everyone else has and is into and their is no growth. That is what hurts the culture as it should always be evolving and changing. Love your stuff keep it up!
couldn't have said it better myself...That's why it was fun to watch Adidas doing their thing...it made people realize it was ok to wear things other than Nike and Jordans.
This was a great video. Honestly, it's not fun for me; someone fairly new to the fashion culture as a whole, watching these really cool drops come out that I just want to wear, and it be sold out, raffled, etc. I just feel cheated.
Daniel Medford it’s always been like this but now it’s the information stage. Before you had to be on it and know the drop dates. You had to do research in the early days of the internet. And if you were from the hood you’d have to be able to be ready to fight for your sneakers or have a rep that protected you from getting robbed. Now everyone has access and everyone wants to be cool. I would say sneaker culture has pretty much trended in the same direction as rap culture. It was very niche back then, now everyone is a sneakerhead. It’s good and bad.
@@sebastienc.2257 Could you explain why some of my friends would have over 20 pairs of yeezys and post stories of them on IG? I mean i would ask em myself but I feel like they wouldn't tell me the whole picture. Have they done that for reselling? So they would buy 20 pairs or so for shit tons of money right, and then resell them for a higher price? Am I wrong? Why would people buy those yeezys from someone that sells them for a higher price? I feel like it's too much work for the sake of getting what I imagine to be small amount profit. Am I missing something? lol
I’m English & live in uk 🇬🇧.... I have 20+ pairs of Adidas, mostly bought online from Adidas. I’d say 70% I’ve bought in the sales & paid -50%. You will be surprised what you can find in the sales. The Spezial drop autum 2018 didn’t sell too good & can get most of the release for -50%. Good luck 😉
Brilliant chronology of the swoosh in modern day hype mastery. Keep on educating Reggie. Its not about hating brands, its keeping informed and still being able to make conscious choices. I want to see more please! Good work!!
Yea I stopped worrying about what these companies are trying to do, I see what I like and if I happen to not be broke I get it. Unfortunately I'm broke 90% of the time, stupid college.
It's pronounced "AH-dee-dahs," with emphasis on the first syllable. The brand is derived from the name of German founder Adolf Dassler. If you're American, you're probably pronouncing the sneaker brand Adidas as "Ah-DEE-dus." That's completely wrong - it's pronounced "AH-dee-dahs."
I used to love 1s as skating shoes but idf with Nike in general. The colourways always suck and when they don't they get scalped 99% of the time and I bet it's on purpose. They're just like Ticketmaster, we all know it's illegal but somehow they still leave it be. Kanye West said it best, they say they don't need you but they use your hype to combo their other garbage lines.
@@Leapord00 Then you really aren't into the business cus I can assure you that he ways most resellers get those shoes before they even technically drop are not legal. If you ever meet someone who who has the ability to make shoes "disappear" you'll soon realize most of these pairs never even get paid for. It's the "it fell of the truck" classic. But yeah what I wanted to say was miswritten, it's not reselling itself that is illegal but anyone who has connections knows these shoes don't get there fair and square.
It is what it is. Age. Don't let them convince you that younger is better. You are young and old. Youth is only young, with no benefit of experience. Break the chains of stereotype and culture even with our perception of aging.
@@itseli2475 I know, but its people and minds regardless. Whoever has ears, let them hear. I just don't like people always acting like age is a bad thing. Everyone's trying to be 20 something, or they feel worthless. 😕
Cool video. I’ve never been a high end sneaker guy but being a disabled vet I now have to buy shoes like the VaporMax due to foot pain. Not long after they released the 2020 ones on there site you could customize it. About a week later and you can’t anymore. Instead they have like 6 colors and 1 that’s a member color for 50$ more. Your video definitely brought some insight.
Great video. I have completely abandoned both Nike and Adidas for Under Armour and have no need to look back. It's funny to see all the hype over the stuff everyone already has.
Even though Nike has over saturated us with the retros, they still just make better shoes at the end of the day. Way more variety, way more iconic, and way more timeless. Adidas, although comfortable, just doesn’t have that nostalgic feeling.
Gotta say as someone who's been into streetwear/sneaker culture since 2001 and was rocking Bapes when people would literally stop you to examine your shoe and call them Chinese uptowns lol I'm not going to front I got jaded for a bit with all the new Hypebeast, Instagram influencers, trend dickriders, European tourist kiddies pulling there mom around supreme, and the hood running shit into the ground I got salty for a bit and said fuck it and just sort of washed my hands with fashion for a bit... but I'm back now mainly to focus on my own line/brand and honestly there's no reason to be mad this was bound to happen and there's room for everyone. Channels like yours sort of eased me back into everything and it helps that I identified you as an elder statement of sorts I like fashion too much to let teenage RUclipsrs collection videos turn me away from what I love thanks fam ima send you some free shit this year
My biggest gripe is that nobody wanted the Spiderman 1s UNTIL they found out they were the Spiderman 1s. Also, I knowww people don't like Air Max '90s that much and I already know I'm taking an L on Thursday with the Off-------------White drop.
Dude this. Like I was one of the few that actually liked the shoe, and when everyone was trashing on it, I was like cool, my chance to cop is gonna be high. But then all of a sudden, EVERYONE wanted the kicks. Yes im salty that I couldn't get a pair.😑
The intro with the adidas fan boy was on point lol. Adidas did way too much with the ultra boost and is still collabing away with everyone they can with that shoe.
Yeah they did oversaturate the hell outta it they should just start releasing more colorways of the original yeezys but they don't which is annoying I just see an ultra boost every week
Last year thought the air maxes would make a huge return this year but I was so wrong because it was the dunks. It’s like the first crazy drop of the year decides what’s gonna be hot
Meh -- clickbait title. This is the way of every market, every brand, period. Literally no different than top fashion houses enlisting new designers every 4-5 years, it's collaboration. Same scenario as when Nike backs a designer and gives them a shoe, or a mini collection, or their own sub-line. At the end of the day, every brand must have a motive of money -- that's survival -- artists want to showcase their work to society at large, they need an audience to not only convey their innovation and uniqueness to an audience but to actually thrive artistically. Given the fact that Nike still has such an emphasis on the values they portray to society at large (risky marketing campaigns that seek to stand at the right side of history), is acknowledgeable and should be applauded - no brand has the balls or claws to do that. Our entire consumer economy is built on hype at this point -- iPhone's today? Hype. Cars? Hype. Social Media is all hype -- it's late stage capitalism in its prime -- classism at its max. We see, we absorb, we purchase into subcultures - to share our values and interests with those around us, to become apart of a community within a capitalistic system that prioritizes individuality.
I guess being ancient and having bigger fish to fry makes me immune to all this hype and gotta-collect-them-all virus. I just browse nike's website and enjoy the pics.
Me too. I buy what I like and what I'll wear. It's nice to look at stuff tho like you say but being old, as you say, I couldn't pull half of these silhouettes off anyway, so the hype doesn't exist for me either.
I haven’t bought a pair of Nikes, Jordans, or adidas since 2012. I used to dig Nikes growing up, but I eventually hit a point where I just over them. I was never a Jordan person, and adidas was always just kind of in the background for me. Plus I’ve always liked having obscure stuff that nobody else had bc everybody wears Nikes. But all the stuff you talked about I saw coming from a mile away. And anytime I spoke about what was happening with this whole “culture” I’d get labeled as a hater. But here we are now. The game is so over saturated, but people keep buying stuff anyways. All that to say, I appreciate you shedding light on this.
The Nike LAB ACG line with acronym founder Errolson Hugh is done. He is no longer working with Nike Lab ACG. This is the most dumbest mistake Nike has made. Now he is working with Stone Island and it isn’t the same
I took two hard Ls ( Black and Desert Ore). Now I'm thinking about paying reseller prices, but I just can't pull the trigger. Might just go buy some regular Air Max 90 for $120.
Dude u r on point this is my first time watching ur casts and im loving what u r doing i hate the fact that nike is doing all this and some people saw the same shoe over multiple times and just rename the colorway but loving this
What The Hell?? "Nike was doing sth that no other company and the industry of sports had dared to do..." Ever heard of Adidas & RunDMC or L.A. Gear & Michael Jackson, Reebok & G-Unit...
I been telling peeps this and Leroy and the ghetto boys refused to listen to me and kept lining up for every Jordan 11 release. At this point the only Jordan that should be retroed are 1’s JB has fell off since 2001 to be honest
Tiger25NYC Brooklyn I get that but how many times can you reinvent the wheel. I mean as a consumer do you not get tired of seeing the same shoe for eons of years?
rasile ya-aya Could you explain the difference in those who say they are tired of the yzy 350 when JB has been doing the same thing longer I’m not a adidas Stan nor do I wear anything with a jumpman logo either just trying to figure out what both sides see and compare
I fw every retro from 1-13 besides the twos, but mike does bring some creative colorways sometimes and changes some things on the sneakers, I see what ur saying tho and I’m hoping Nike can make some good sb dunk colorways this year cuz I’m looking for something different
Nice informative video as always, i rewatched some of your old videos and i gotta say that the street fashion awards from 2017 was really interesting to watch, so i was wondering if you would consider doing one for 2018
Yassss...... Different color way and higher prices I dont know why yall buying the same shoes with different color way, dont you guys feel boring about it?

But all the stuff you talked about I saw coming from a mile away. And anytime I spoke about what was happening with this whole “culture” I’d get labeled as a hater. But here we are now. The game is so over saturated, but people keep buying stuff anyways. All that to say, I appreciate you shedding light on this.
They need to keep Nike Lab and also keep the ACG line going I like the line since 2014
ACG not going anywhere...That like is like 20 years old.
The Nike LAB ACG line with acronym founder Errolson Hugh is done. He is no longer working with Nike Lab ACG. This is the most dumbest mistake Nike has made. Now he is working with Stone Island and it isn’t the same
What a solid video. Keep it up
Nike basketball from 2010 - 2013 was the golden years
That’s some honest stuff I’ve heard in a long time..keep killin it bro
Air max 90's off-white release tomorrow... I'm on it!
viva0la0tom1 I’m prepared to take a L lol
Took an L
Took an L also. Dam bots lol!
I took two hard Ls ( Black and Desert Ore). Now I'm thinking about paying reseller prices, but I just can't pull the trigger. Might just go buy some regular Air Max 90 for $120.
Well we tried boys... massive L over on this side
respect your literacy and brevity. keep it going man.
Dude u r on point this is my first time watching ur casts and im loving what u r doing i hate the fact that nike is doing all this and some people saw the same shoe over multiple times and just rename the colorway but loving this
Did we all forget about puma shoes? lol
Puma is dope and always will be
Underatted tho, i think People have to look more at PUMA , dope design and really not too expensive
Puma trash
Well the only sneakers i like from puma is suede and clyde.
@@Revoltech452 and good quality too
Very well articulated!!!
Faaaacts! Im still a Nike head though fam, ✔ over stripes! Still got a couple adidas in the closet but yeaa Nike be killin it. 😁💯
Wow I’m impressed!! I’m 42 and avid Jordan collector but this was fun to whatch..
I knew I wasnt seeing th same stuff re-release👍🏾
Very clear and eye opening 🔥
I see a nike outlet..i go and try my luck..i don't go crazy on the hype!
Very informative video and history of Nike. Thank you bro
We're ALL corporate slaves. We don't live in a democracy. We live in a corporatacracy.
PROTXS EMF HEALTH shut the fuck up we’re watching a fucking video about shoes
Joseph Colin *about Nike......a corporation.
Dude..You are so good at your job!!!
What The Hell??
"Nike was doing sth that no other company and the industry of sports had dared to do..."
Ever heard of Adidas & RunDMC or L.A. Gear & Michael Jackson, Reebok & G-Unit...
Just found this channel, I love this shit! So thorough! Keep it up bruh
I been telling peeps this and Leroy and the ghetto boys refused to listen to me and kept lining up for every Jordan 11 release. At this point the only Jordan that should be retroed are 1’s JB has fell off since 2001 to be honest
FastSrt8jeep 392 people love other Jordan’s other then the 1’s. I love the 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12

I get that but how many times can you reinvent the wheel. I mean as a consumer do you not get tired of seeing the same shoe for eons of years?
There's nothing wrong with retros, the quality is what's messed up.
rasile ya-aya
Could you explain the difference in those who say they are tired of the yzy 350 when JB has been doing the same thing longer I’m not a adidas Stan nor do I wear anything with a jumpman logo either just trying to figure out what both sides see and compare
I fw every retro from 1-13 besides the twos, but mike does bring some creative colorways sometimes and changes some things on the sneakers, I see what ur saying tho and I’m hoping Nike can make some good sb dunk colorways this year cuz I’m looking for something different
Phenomenal video!
Nike is pronounced like Mikey, not Bike and Adidas is pronounced Ah-Dee-Das not Ah-Deedus
Real good Ep, Reggie. Felt like watching one of those conspiracy vids when i was a kid but with actual info and straight forward approach.
I've only owned two pairs of Jordan's...
And that's two pairs too many😁😂🤣
Be quiet you probably wear adidas
Nice informative video as always, i rewatched some of your old videos and i gotta say that the street fashion awards from 2017 was really interesting to watch, so i was wondering if you would consider doing one for 2018
Too much focus is put on what you wear on your feet. Keeps you looking down than up. There're just shoes! #OG
So smart and refreshing analysis, love it
Did y’all just realize it’s the same damn Air Jordan 1 every single time Nike releases a different color way.
Yassss...... Different color way and higher prices I dont know why yall buying the same shoes with different color way, dont you guys feel boring about it?
@910cadillacredd if you dont like breds or concords, dont buy them. There is millions of different nike shoes
Anias G really? there are millions?
Ye I agree. To me a new colour way is not a new design. It's the same old 1 that they've been punting at us since forever.
Nick Mascellani that’s why it’s called a retro you dumbass.
What camera do you use, looks great and sounds clear
Funny how over the course of time this all went down, musics been oversaturated with words like swag, drip, sauce, and steez. Everyones in on it
Well researched, son!!! Subbed
“Pure boost was just as comfortable as ultra boost” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That little white lint on his left shoulder is driving me crazy
Adidas is a german brand. It's not pronounced english.. 🤦
subbed, dope vid man, and I'm an avid Nike collector but you really had me thinking on this one.
I'm buying fakes .....they cost less and i don't agree with their business practices
😂 😂 😂
That's crazy
😂😁😁😁😑
this perspective is genius. GREAT vid 👌💯
Bet ya won’t heart this!🤪
