hey what's going on guys this is Tiger
0:02
has a kicks so yesterday I chose to go
0:04
to uh my local Outlet actually it wasn't
0:08
my plane I was trying to get rid of some
0:10
shoes that I took to this is this spot
0:12
down in uh
0:14
um Clarksburg Outlet
0:15
um there's a place that out of stock
0:17
just trying to I was trying to sell some
0:18
of my sneakers so I walk in there with
0:20
like six pair of shoes and they did not
0:23
even want to look at the shoes they go
0:24
well we don't want it and that's just uh
0:26
a microcosm of the sneaker industry now
0:29
like nothing you're selling I mean I had
0:31
like some good stuff man I had a taxi
0:34
one I had some Jordan three uh kill
0:37
Brown so I mean those are some some good
0:39
stuff but he wanted none of my stuff man
0:42
yeah I mean I understand you know like
0:44
he's in the business of self sneakers so
0:46
if he's not selling if you can't sell it
0:49
then why why buy it and then when I
0:50
looked on this wall a bunch of the shoes
0:52
that they had was like same old same old
0:54
like Jordan one Jordan fours Nike Dunk
0:58
penis and then some Yeezys like there's
1:01
no variety anymore like sneaker has I
1:04
mean alcohol is more like Nike heads or
1:07
slash Jordan heads it's the same stuff
1:09
over and over and Nike keeps
1:11
regurgitating the same thing over and
1:13
over so I went down to the outlet and I
1:15
just wanted to show you what I saw like
1:17
they had a bunch of different things
1:19
like the Air Force One undefeated uh
1:21
some nice a bunch of Jordan
1:24
um retros that came out that are still
1:26
sitting you know because nobody's buying
1:28
them it's just the market is flooded so
1:30
check it out so the first shoot I caught
1:32
my attention was the Air Force One La
1:34
Familia I mean this shoe is incredible
1:36
Redstone colors I love that color man
1:39
it's built with a combination of nubuck
1:41
leather and some kind of sturdy
1:43
um I would say textile material you can
1:46
see that on the tongue in this extension
1:47
and the tool and then I like the Chanel
1:49
patch they have the green and the yellow
1:51
they get an incredible shoe it was on
1:53
sale for 79.99 man again if you have
1:57
money to spend these are the times to
1:59
get these things if you're a reseller
2:01
I'll say get a bunch of these and let it
2:02
sit like a year or two it's gonna go up
2:05
now the next one that I saw was the Air
2:07
Force One undefeated this has like
2:09
pastel colors and it's built with some
2:11
kind of patent leather material again
2:13
great looking shoe the box is incredible
2:16
it's on it's on for 149.99 that's still
2:19
a little too high in my opinion because
2:21
you can find these on stockx or any
2:22
other place for like 109 or less so I
2:25
don't think this is a super steel they
2:27
got a few sizes left on those and then
2:30
there's some more stuff that I've seen
2:31
again this is a picture of the Air Force
2:33
One La Familia and then we're gonna go
2:36
up to I'll show you the boxes I mean
2:38
they got massive sizes in that store and
2:42
then in Rush right now some point in the
2:43
restaurant was one of the most popular
2:45
shoe because everybody wanted those I
2:47
actually had a pair of restaurants I
2:48
wore them every day now this downside to
2:51
the restaurants is the midsole they kind
2:53
of die out at some point if you wear the
2:55
shoe for like nine months you pretty
2:57
much have nothing left there so you
2:58
probably need a cup to cup like a bunch
3:01
of these just to be on the safe side now
3:03
again these are on sale for like 69
3:05
bucks if you're a reseller maybe it's a
3:07
good I mean I don't know if you should I
3:08
mean I don't know if this is ever going
3:10
to go up again that's not gonna happen
3:11
again they have a bunch of sizes in the
3:14
store and by the way if you're
3:15
interested in any of these please hit me
3:17
up and I'll get it for you now this is
3:19
the wall that has like all the latest
3:21
releases you have the playoff 13 the Don
3:24
clue Brazil the Jordan one these are
3:26
like interesting I like the graphics in
3:28
the midsection and man that's a bunch of
3:30
stuff the Jordan one green the Jordan
3:32
three green the total sixes more dunks
3:35
the Jordan two more ones there I mean
3:37
it's just a whole bunch of stuff man and
3:39
the Foamposite and a lot more now the
3:42
LeBron 2 again that's on sale Nike is
3:44
trying to Retro the the LeBrons but it
3:47
hasn't been successful these are on sale
3:48
for 149 plus 30 off again if you want
3:51
any of these please let me know and I'll
3:53
grab it for you
3:55
this is the dunk Loop in Brazil this
3:57
shoe was supposed to be the shoe man and
3:59
I'm so surprised it still happened but
4:01
this is good news for buyers now these
4:03
are the the golf low tops called Purple
4:06
these were doing so well on on like
4:08
third-party marketplaces but then the
4:10
overflowed the market and died again
4:12
it's a good time to buy and sit on it
4:14
all right so it goes these are gonna go
4:16
up at some point so that's gonna happen
4:17
again if you want any of these hit me up
4:20
now these are the air structure air
4:22
structure great shoe for runners and
4:24
great comfortable shoe it was on sale
4:26
for 49 bucks I don't think these are
4:28
gonna last they're gonna go probably
4:29
before the end of the week they're gonna
4:31
sell out because that's a great price
4:33
and then I saw this Jordan one with a
4:34
Holograms I love that midsection now you
4:37
can see what Nike is doing here they
4:38
have the white and black in keeping with
4:40
the pandas these colors are really
4:42
popular now but for some reason they're
4:44
not selling they're on sale too so again
4:47
if you have money to blow this is the
4:48
time to buy and let let this sit if you
4:51
have a lot of money buy and sit on this
4:52
because they're gonna go up then I saw
4:54
this Jordan one uh with a metallic like
4:57
Rusty like
4:59
um panels you're gonna see that in a
5:01
minute now these are just the one that I
5:03
showed you earlier and these are the one
5:05
I was talking about these are an
5:06
interesting shoes that y'all don't wear
5:08
mid again they're on sale and then I
5:11
can't you know I end up the whole thing
5:12
with a Down Club Brazil again again if
5:15
you want to grab any of these please let
5:17
me know I'll grab it for you I can go
5:19
back there and check it out all right
5:21
thanks for watching this is time for
5:22
master kicks
5:28
like I said if you need any of these
5:30
shoes please uh hit me up and I'll I'll
5:32
go grab it for you you know for of
5:34
course for a little fee but I'll grab it
5:36
for you I'll go back then and check it
5:37
out and grab it for you any size you
5:39
need now again this is what is going on
5:41
in the sneaker industry now like the
5:43
sneaker resale is dead like somebody
5:45
asked me what should I buy right now I
5:47
say don't even buy any Jordans unless
5:49
you're getting a pair of Jordan 4s or
5:51
some scatter Jordan ones that are still
5:53
doing okay but for the most part you're
5:55
not gonna win because a lot of these
5:57
shoes are going to the Nike Employee
6:00
Store where people can get it for like
6:01
40 to 50 Below Retail so you can't
6:03
compete it's a market not for the
6:06
sellers now it's a buyer's market so if
6:08
you're a buyer you win now if you have
6:10
money to sit on stuff then this is the
6:13
time to buy a bunch of stuff and just
6:14
let it sit there and just forget about
6:16
it because they're not going to go up in
6:17
within the next 14 or 18 months now some
6:20
shoes might do that but for the most
6:22
part everything that you have is gonna
6:23
take a while to go up in value I bought
6:26
some Jordan
6:27
13 last year and I got some Jordan ones
6:30
that are still below retailing it's been
6:32
almost like a year and a half which
6:34
tells you the status of the sneaker
6:36
resale it's just absolutely dead the
6:39
market is flooded there's too much
6:40
competition everybody's trying to do the
6:42
same thing and in stockx was a great uh
6:45
equalizer it made it easy for people to
6:47
sell shoes so now all you need is a
6:49
style code and Nike keeps flooding the
6:51
market in just like
6:53
22 days they've dropped over 96 pair of
6:56
sneakers I mean how do you I mean this
6:59
is why stuff is is ending at the outlet
7:02
which is good news for buyers because
7:04
you have multiple options so I'll say
7:05
don't rush if you buy it wait till the
7:08
stuff goes
7:09
um on sale and then you can grab it
7:11
don't rush it don't don't even do it to
7:13
yourself you know this is again a great
7:15
it's a buyer's market so I don't think
7:17
things are going to change anytime soon
7:19
because I remember back in like in
7:22
2000 uh 10 and between 2010 and 12 there
7:27
was a massive uh number of Jordans that
7:29
were sitting on shelves and people were
7:31
like sneaker resell is dead and he came
7:33
back because now those are the same
7:34
shoes that people are looking for but I
7:36
don't think that's going to be the case
7:37
now because Nike is also doing what
7:40
every two years they drop the same shoes
7:41
they're Up Tempo they've dropped back
7:43
the same black and white colorway every
7:45
year and a half so you cannot compete
7:47
the brand knows that people want those
7:48
shoes so they're gonna try to recycle
7:50
the same shoes over and over so forget
7:52
it this is just not a good time to be a
7:54
sneaker reseller find some other things
7:57
who will get a job because you're not
7:58
gonna really win unless you can get
8:00
access to like limited sneakers which is
8:02
still a hassle all right so find some
8:05
other hustle maybe you start selling
8:07
some running shoes or look for the
8:09
hookers or some other stuff that'll be
8:10
selling better all right again uh if you
8:13
need in your insurance please let me
8:15
know and I'll go get it for you okay
8:16
thanks for watching this is time for
8:17
Monster cakes and stay tuned for more
