As dumb as I think ‘Air Max Day’ is and how we just got tricked into ‘caring’, this shoeliday has been on my mind for the past few months now (ever since the first pairs of those bacons surfaced).
I feel like a total sheep. Or...maybe...better yet...a PIG being led off to the slaughter? #dadjokes
Let’s talk Bacon.
Yeah it’s my favorite Air Max and I included it in the #dunkydunks card set and it’s also included in the #airmaxpax and blah blah blah. You might remember we had a false alarm last year - there were plenty of ppl saying the Bacon was gonna drop last year and that OBVIOUSLY didn’t happen. BUT.This is the ONE shoe I gave myself leeway to purchase this year (assuming it was going to retro - last year was a false alarm) and I am assuming it’ll be at resale. I’ve told my DQM 90 story over and over again (and even immortalized it in card form), so I’ll refrain from telling it again...but it’s been on my mind a bit lately...
I know all of the influencers are showing off their see-through AM1 CLOTs (a shoe I couldn’t care less about), but it seems to me the Bacon’s are in higher demand. BUT. A handful of people have hit me up showing me that they’re already on @stockx and @goat for around $300 so that suggests numbers are high and it’s really not bad for what I thought we were going to see them at…Are production numbers on these really THAT high?
Y’all might remember the Mars Landing 90’s from a few years back. Basically carrying the theme from the Moon Landing 90’s that went stupid high, they were highly anticipated AND produced in appropriate quantities. I paid $250/each for 2 pairs a few days before release (s/o @23penny ), but resale died on the Mars 90’s THE DAY they officially released.
Do we have another Mars Landing 90 on our hands? Goddam I hope so.
