hey what's going on guys like this is
0:02
tight for my sake calm today we're gonna
0:04
talk about the Air Jordan 10 Superbowl
0:06
it's gonna take place super was gonna
0:09
take place on Sunday and I know a lot of
0:11
guys are like looking forward to it I
0:13
don't really watch football
0:14
that much I'm a basketball guy so you
0:16
can imagine a couple of days ago and
0:18
when I found out about Kobe's passing it
0:20
was really hard man I barely knew the
0:23
guy I don't know him personally but he
0:24
has impacted you know people's lives so
0:27
in such a great way that you know you
0:29
can help but I think about life itself
0:31
and I wanted to kind of like take some
0:33
time to talk about couple of things that
0:34
I wanted to mention here I grew up in
0:37
toga that's in West Africa you can tell
0:38
from my accent and and for me when I was
0:41
growing up the guy that I was watching
0:42
was Scottie Pippen Michael Jordan and
0:44
the Bulls and then Kobe came along and
0:48
we was awful and everybody wanted to
0:50
have that the hair styling everything
0:51
and then after that I came here and I
0:53
actually I didn't like Kobe at first
0:55
because I didn't like the Lakers I was a
0:57
Boston Celtics fan but then I grew up to
0:59
like I grew to like actually enjoy his
1:02
work ethics i dude was phenomenal his
1:05
footwork everything was just crazy so
1:07
like I he actually slept horribly on
1:10
Sunday night when I found out because
1:12
some some somehow like I thought like I
1:14
wrote an article I thought Kobe was
1:16
invincible like I was thinking like
1:18
tragedies like this like things like
1:19
this don't happen to like couldn't
1:21
happen to Kobe the black mamba you know
1:22
so I'm sorry they actually went to a
1:25
friend and friend's funeral and and I've
1:27
had like two close deaths in in the last
1:29
couple of weeks when I was closed up
1:31
those friends were for some reason
1:34
Kobe's death affected me a lot more
1:36
which I don't even understand like took
1:38
a toll on me I don't even know the guy
1:40
that's the thing and I thought why and I
1:43
said maybe because it was an unexpected
1:45
like I didn't think that was gonna
1:47
maybe is because it was his daughter
1:49
maybe is because of all the other guys
1:50
that didn't plan on dying on Sunday
1:52
they all died suddenly you know and
1:54
maybe it's cuz I'm thinking about his
1:55
wife and all the children are left it's
1:57
crazy stuff to think about and any when
1:59
I was like processing all that I thought
2:01
about on the Lord brought to my
2:03
attention Isaiah 6 and Isaiah and he who
2:07
goes into the tale because King Uzziah
2:10
had died and while she goes into the
2:13
is sitting there thinking now what and
2:15
he sees the Lord sitting on his throne
2:18
sovereign and then I give me a
2:20
perspective on life itself again I'm
2:22
thinking all right you know like you can
2:25
kind of compare Isaiah to Kobe a little
2:27
bit because Isaiah he revolutionized
2:29
like warfare and his fame spread all
2:32
so when Isaiah died people probably felt
2:34
like now what what are we gonna do now
2:36
now that Isaiah is dead in the same way
2:39
a lot of people in the basketball
2:43
community and sneaker community thinking
2:45
Kobe is gone now what basketball players
2:47
are thinking now what you know like and
2:50
I wanted like I want to be very careful
2:52
about you know move the things that I'm
2:53
saying because I don't want to be cold
2:58
it's now I'm not being cold I'm just
3:01
Kobe lived out his life Kobe was a
3:05
placeholder and everybody else that
3:07
wasn't in our airplane that the aircraft
3:09
the helicopter and died they were
3:11
placeholders God he's still sitting on
3:13
the throne and I think sometimes God
3:16
allows these things that happen to keep
3:18
our eyes on the eternal because now
3:20
there was not one soul on Sunday that
3:22
was not affected by this death everybody
3:25
started to think about life itself he
3:26
was beyond basketball it's like this is
3:30
no other there is there is more to life
3:32
than just what we see and what we touch
3:34
the earth and everything that we're
3:36
going through here is temporal the
3:38
eternal is what we are looking forward
3:40
to and sometimes these tragedies that
3:43
they are meant to really take away from
3:47
the comfort of this periphery world that
3:50
we're living to keep our eyes on the
3:51
eternal you know and it's not easy
3:54
because those are loved ones that we
3:55
lose and we begin to think why God why
3:57
did you allow this to happen
3:59
and Peter nailed it when he talked about
4:01
our everybody's everything that we live
4:03
out here is temporal we have to keep our
4:05
eyes on on what's what's up there and
4:08
King Solomon said the house of mourning
4:11
is better than the house of pleasure
4:13
because when you go to the house of
4:14
mourning that's where you reflect the
4:16
most and Kobe's death and everybody else
4:19
I was on our aircrafts death was not in
4:21
vain there was not one person on solid
4:27
what is life all about and then God
4:31
allowed some things like this sometimes
4:32
to keep our eyes on the eternal you know
4:35
and and II promises that there will be
4:37
one day when we'll be in a place where
4:40
there will be no more pain no more tears
4:42
no more death no more heartaches no more
4:44
disappointment whatever you wanna insert
4:46
in there and God gave us infallible
4:48
proofs of this by raising Jesus from the
4:50
dead and if you want to know what about
4:53
resurrection I I have like an article
4:55
yet that I wrote about the the veracity
4:57
the truth about the resurrection he
4:59
actually really happened you know so
5:01
tragic tragedy sometimes to take our
5:04
eyes of earthly comfort so we can look
5:06
to what the heavens and and the one the
5:09
only memory that I want to keep off of
5:11
Kobe is this signature moves
5:13
I spent time watching this because I
5:14
wanted to work on my my tribute read
5:16
position where you know past past the
5:19
ball shoot it you know and then say my
5:21
fake another half-hour watch this video
5:23
like ten thousand times and one thing
5:25
I'll say about Kobe is this it truly
5:27
lived out whatever you do do it heartily
5:29
us on to the Lord because this man left
5:31
everything on the floor and he lived out
5:34
his life and God call him back home so
5:36
again until we see him again you know
5:38
thank you for watching town Kobe and and
5:40
and I hope you guys keep your eyes on
5:42
the heavens and and allow this time to
5:44
to take your your eyes off the the
5:47
temporal and keep your eyes on what is
5:49
more important all right now let's talk
5:51
about the Superbowl tanks now issue its
5:54
surface is the color way it's pretty
5:57
much the palm trees Freud er you know it
5:59
reminds me of the LeBron Lord I thought
6:01
that dropped a few years ago no Bernard
6:03
Palmer or whatever it was called
6:05
so he's the same color with same color
6:07
combination so Nike did pretty good on
6:08
it and and the numbers only now really
6:11
really small so let's let's talk about
6:13
the numbers now let's go back so now
6:15
we're gonna talk you know I don't have
6:17
like that much data to work with so this
6:19
was really hard to do so I just had to
6:21
postulate a couple of things that are
6:22
you start to say things that III didn't
6:24
quite believe myself so recite Nike the
6:27
only places that are getting the shoe a
6:29
shoe polish and Jimmy guys so I don't
6:31
know what kind of selection criteria
6:33
Nike used but it seems
6:35
shifty brain was casting Lots the
6:37
old-fashioned way they just say hey
6:38
we're gonna choose such a sale or picnic
6:40
randomly so I think that's what happened
6:43
now in the assumptions
6:45
now I'm thinking subjectively fifty four
6:48
hundred pairs because this is on Super
6:49
Bowl fifty four but again I still want
6:52
to take a chance and I assume that Nike
6:53
will probably keep about 4/5 of the
6:55
inventory and only give Jimmy a shoe
6:58
polish and potential unknown starkest
7:00
about 150 for the production now the
7:02
problem is how many pairs will be given
7:04
to retailers so what I did was us I gave
7:07
like give me eyes and and super it's
7:09
five hundred each because those aren't
7:11
the only two places that I know after I
7:13
get the shoe as of now so if both of
7:18
their total is 8,000 pairs and Nikes
7:21
numbers will be just ticked our thousand
7:22
and multiply that by four you got your
7:24
4,000 and then to get the total
7:26
production you can do a four thousand
7:28
plus 1000 which is five thousand and
7:30
again I put forty here that's stupid off
7:32
- supposed to be four thousand and if
7:35
you take into consideration potential
7:37
errors I can stretch this number to like
7:40
six thousand pairs so I'm thinking maybe
7:42
between fifty four to five thousand to
7:44
six thousand again I gotta add my
7:46
disclaimer I don't work for the brain
7:48
everything that I do is based on the
7:50
assumption that I created myself so
7:52
please take everything with a grain of
7:54
salt don't say it don't quote me on it
7:55
saying this guy say this this is the
7:58
reality now I'm just trying to give you
7:59
like a picture of what may happen
8:01
because the shoe is definitely are
8:03
limited because not even like third
8:05
party marketplaces have any data on it
8:07
now as far as a resale value again I
8:11
came I can't do recently if I don't have
8:13
numbers to work with but we can we can
8:15
base our our prediction on on what
8:17
happened in the past so the last Super
8:19
Bowl shoe that drop was the Jordan 3r j
8:22
th Justin Timberlake joint and the
8:25
current average value is foreign and 67
8:28
so I'm suspecting that Nike will release
8:30
a signal signal amount of the Jordan
8:32
taint Super Bowl and I'm projecting his
8:34
average sale value to be between 300 and
8:37
350 I'm thinking it's not gonna exceed
8:39
like it's probably between 300 350 and
8:41
less stretchy maybe 400 so based on that
8:44
I'm assuming that profit will range for
8:47
anywhere from 70 to low to like 117 high
8:51
and that the turnaround will be like it
8:54
on stock ex and eBay minimums gonna go
8:56
between 100 249 or 100 hundred 50 and
9:00
turn around maybe 0 to 14 days so this
9:04
is what I'm thinking so far and you know
9:06
I I don't I don't want to stretch it too
9:08
much so I'll stick with those numbers
9:10
for now I hope this helps out now guys
9:12
are there's something that I wanted to
9:13
also share with you guys arm move over
