Needles & Grooves

I started almost, almost substituting vinyl addiction to sneaker addiction. But that was short lived. If there’s ever some super limited version, it’s impossible to get. Impossible. No more.

@Bennnnn When I started buying sneakers in 2013, I could get anything I wanted provide I wake up on time. 2017, I could get most things. Now? I can't get anything, so I don't even try. It's becoming a hobby for celebrities and influencers and thats it.

Yeezy day was a bust for me... luckily my brother got me a pair of Wave Runners. But trying to get anything on SNKRS or Confirmed is always a waste of time.

Yeah I keep half an eye on things and try to grab the occasional style in store. But I don't bother with any pre sales or nonsense like that. It's too crazy.

If I see something nice and it's not an expensive, limited drop or something, I'll grab it. But I just can't deal with how things have been rolling out and how it definitely favors the rich and influential.

It's been bad for awhile (especially since the pandemic) but what really broke it for me was a recent release where a mass amount of stock was bought by 2 resellers running hundreds of bots, then bragging on social media about it (spoiler: nothing happens). Trying to find the article

@DJSJ oh, on that Travis Scott release?

@Memo Yeah I think thats it. I'm not actually sure of the % but those fucks bought 200 pairs. Two Sneakerbot Users Landed 200 Pairs of The Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott x Fragments
