Hello, I am Free The Culture, sneaker enthuasist and streetwear influencer. I have been into fashion since I was a teenager. I always enjoy anime and music, this passion led me to express myself through my clothing.
As men, we often leave ourselves subject to monotony. Sometimes, we have to think outside of the box to achieve a desired look.
On this channel, you will see outfits for men and sneaker reviews. I will show you how to style everything from men's casualwear to men's formal wear.
My speciality is Yeezys but I can show how to wear all sorts of shoes, including Converse High Tops, Vans, Ultraboost, Black Airforce 1s. White Airforce 1s, Jordan 1s, and many more.
Be sure to check out my lastest videos!
The sneaker market is inflated by resellers just recycling shoes to each other. Every convention video or short you see is just one reseller buying from another. The whole thing is a sham
Correct based on “The Greater Fool Theory!”
It reminds me of the watch market. Which has also crashed hard.
I’ll wear reps before I buy a sneaker from a reseller
I feel that
@Fitsbyfree I guess they don't wear sneakers just wear them. They buying just to selling them and for the flex. 🤔. I went to pawn shop
I literally see sneakers fresh in box. They don't even take with out the box no more. If you trying pawn or sell. They want brand new in thr box. Which is mind blowing . You would think l they would take used sneakers, now they want "fresh in the box". Now I see they are more sneakers consignments shops.
Thanks to you sneaker market it’s down supporting Chinese knockoffs
The people who sell reps are resellers too...
@@brandondyer9938why would a pawn shop take used sneakers ? A pawn shop won’t give you $ more something they don’t think they can actually sell.
i love that the prices are going down but the prices are still too high for pocket money
Nah because how is $90 a half off deal for 40 year old shoes
@@justinrodriguez1686 fr i wanted like the cement jordan 4s but they 200
You are as optimistic as FTX shareholders are
Especially when we’re all living paycheck to paycheck, sneakers are a want, not a need. FJB!
FJB , FDT
@@d_rod3 So… Robert Kennedy? He’s a freaking awesome dude.
Hell yeah 🇺🇸
What does JB have to do with this?
@@thegoldentrollface4229 🇺🇸🧂👊🏼👌🏽🤙🧂😂
I’m pissed I took an L on the Linens, and immediately they were available on secondary market and now they’re selling under retail 😂
Funny how life goes sometimes 😂😂
I always refused to buy from resellers. Do love getting shoes at 40% off though. Got the J1 Green Glows and Royal Reimagined at 40% off. I'll probably wear them in a couple years.
Add to this fact, that Nike is releasing shoes at premium prices with subpar materials and tech so the shoe quality is already trash but the sale prices don’t reflect the downgrade.
I admit I enjoy rocking shoes that not everyone can get, however a $1,000 is ridiculous. Every one who wants them should at least pay 50 60 bucks if they sell out, but robots buying all of them and controlling the market is not cool
Let's not forget that resellers contribute nothing to society or the market. They aren't adding value you don't get a better product or an extended warranty.
Wtf are you talking about, you are already buying the worst quality by buying Nike, wtf has the reseller to to with a better product. It´s like saying Coca Cola needs to change their recipe for Costco
Glad the resell markets is so low .they resellers was killing the sneakers community.now thangs getting back too normal like it suppose to be.its peoples do actually like sneakers they not all ways on that hype beast stuff.
Big facts bro
The Gatekeep so ppl can't get the sneaker line (legendary)
Bro got the realest takes 💯
Nike can still do a better job with more inventory because it's still hard to get collabs and og colorways.
off white sitting is crazy
Off whites are not as popular
Them existing is crazy
Dude. I agree with you that re sellers should take an L. And they are losing because their business model failed. , However there is nothing immoral about what they are doing. They went for it and they lost. THE END.
You spittin
I try to always buy direct and clearance is great.
Very true save your money
i was about too buy the nike sb Pine green but i just saw nike is about too drop another green version so ima wait nike finally found a way too kill resell & its by releasing similar colors back too back like the military blues just came out & theirs all ready gonna bust out another shade of blue in july
Smart man’s
They also are re-releasing shoes from 2015-2018 just different variations or the exact same model and color way. Thus why you are seeing the older versions all up on eBay right now. They know if they don't sell now they'll down more n more cuz obviously who would choose an old version over a new version
It’s not only back to back releases it was like that when market was high it’s production quantity aka supply is very high. They are producing way more quantity that’s why the market prices are way lower and couple that with a bad economy makes it worse. They will go back to lower production soon and prices will pick up a little. Everything was fairly limited when the market was going crazy 2017-2019/20
I wish they made more all blue shoes
Jordan 36 superior feel and performance Id want to get the money green pair i have the eye of the tiger, I reckon those shoes will go up when people wear them out and want that feel and certain colourway
Sneaker resell is dope because now ypu van pick up a pair you may not have had the funds for on release, its the greed I have a problem with. Ngl i hope the choke on their stock and
Tru tru
Karma indeed. Just because it's not illegal to buy sneakers and sell them at a higher price as a middleman it doesn't it will go ignored by the Karma Gods.
Nike needs to hire this young man - today 👍
Simple. Buy what you like and will wear. Don’t jump on the hype train. The tracks are broken.
I’ve been into it all since 2005. Yes I’ve sold some of my shoes and profited.
Bought some that weren’t popular but I liked. Never had an intend to make money. If friends or someone else offered me more money and they really wanted them I’ve sold pairs. Traded for something I liked better. I’ve had fun. Greedy people have ruined the fun. Let’s make it all enjoyable again.
I like Kobe9. Uptempo. Off White Blazers. CB34. Now Li Ning. As you can see most aren’t massively popular. Just what I enjoy.
dope video.
Appreciate it
Wanted the waffle dunks but decided to wait, now they’re on sale for 80 bucks. Imma keep waiting
Love your approach on this. Glad I don’t like Jordan’s and whatever else sneaker lovers like or am willing to pay more then $500 for shoes.
build your collection because premium shoes will become limited and raised price while the cheaper bricks will become the new norm 😀
The same thing is going to happen to concerts and sporting events. Those 20k hand bags, this shh is crazy.
I enjoy your takes
Yeah and thanks to you I can actually buy shoes at cost on stockx cuz all I have to do is watch the sales and what time is the lowest cell is then go back at the same time and buy shoe at the lowest sale
Yes once they add fees and delivery I’m still paying 40 over which kinda sucks but stock X is my go to as well.
y'all better give goat or eBay a chance
The same thing is going to happen to concerts and sporting events. Those 20k hand bags, this shh is crazy
one can only hope!
The fact I can pick up two pair of AJ 1 highs for $220.00 is amazing. Too bad i can’t even afford that atm sucks!
Yes dude, I am so glad that they hype for them is over, I can finally get shoes I want for retail. F hype
@@theramplocal seriously. I’ve got like 20-30 pair I want. Do I need? No, but want. 😂 I’m 52, and I had to look up the definition of a “sneaker head.” Do I fit the description, HELL YES I DO! I was a diehard Adidas guy before the relaunch of the DQM “Bacon’s.” I really had no idea about the culture. I got on the SNKRS app. Saw the Pre Game Air’s, the Bacons, and thought “ok, I’ll bite. I’ll get both pair on the app.” Yea…… No. I eventually got on stock x, and got em, and the CLOT’s. I definitely dropped wayyyyy too much on em. The only shoes I scored on the SNKRS app were that AJ’1 Reverse Shadows. After buying about 15 pair in between then, and now, I’m a Nike Fan. But, shoes are not something I can afford right now, and I honestly don’t have any room for another pair. Which sucks, but, hell. ONE CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH SHOES! 😂👊🏼👌🏽🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🧂🧂😝
Love the cut off lol
I don’t think reselling sneakers is a problem it’s only a problem when they jack the price up like crazy like 1-2k but if they just charging 100$ more than retail it’s just business they got ‘em before you did they want a lil bread for the work of either standing in line like I do or putting in multiple orders with friends on raffles hoping you could win 2-3 pairs knowing you might not even get 1 if you’re reselling as a side hustle it’s cool get your bread but if you’re a scalper then no but if people want to start a sneaker reselling business with reasonable prices I see nothing wrong with that
Please use periods.
The problem with your logic is the average person may buy a few extra pairs and resell for a small fee above msrp but, today's actual reseller is buying in mass way before it's even released just to make $100 on a GR pair. Imagine a few hundred pairs sold to 100 resellers each. Now you're actually subjected to paying more for a GR pair just because they had a plug and you didn't. What type of work is being put into that hustle? WE the consumer dictate how valuable something really is. Meaning, MSRP can say whatever it wants but if no one buys it then naturally it falls below that. Same logic applies to resellers in this case.
The kids won. It has to suck being in high school and all the cool kicks. Rannnn up
RE-SALING IS PRICE GOUGING & PRICE GOUGING IS ILLEGAL???$$$
It's wrong
These reseller can finally lay there 🧱!!!
Facts
I thought this was Kawhi Leonard
Too little, too late.
Reps will still take a big chunk out of legit sneaker sales.
What about inflation and scarcity over time as new pairs diminish. Like do you think brand new Paris dunks should be worth $80 because that was retail? Idk this video sounds like he’s just complaining because he doesn’t want to put alittle effort into buying it. I personally have a couple resellers I’m willing to pay alittle extra to $30-40 per release to get whatever i want without me waiting in line or worrying about the shoe. But if you can’t even do that, you’re just a cheap entitled individual thinking they deserve the most and wouldn’t help these 10-15 year olds make an extra dollar. Would you rather these kids sell drugs? Cause concept of drugs is the same, drug dealers make anywhere from 30-600% every flip. So id rather these kids stay off the streets and make cleaner money.
Make a video
bro says in the video he's fine with that haha. it's the people using bots and the people upping the price a lot more than the $30-40 you said.
If people refused to buy them they wouldn't have been able to do this. Just saying.
I agree
Im building a new vacation home with all my bricks 🧱
Nike is hurt right now. The shareholders are in a panic. Hoka and On Cloud is killing them lol
Nike is still far ahead of either of these two or anyone else. Stock is probably a good buy right now.
Too much capitalism is why it is affecting mostly Americans. In Africa will wait for off season and copies to save our hard money. Why pay $200 to 18000 for a shoe
Which is better, stock x or goat?
Goat but honestly eBay
😂😂, i refused to overpay for resale scanmers 😂😂 plus most of their stock is fake. Ill pay at the actual store. P.s. nike/adiddas dont care as long as these idiots are buying them out haha
When does summer break at your school start?
why does the video just cut out outta nowhere
👽🧬
😂I luv it greedy ass reseller's
WAIT WTF HE JUST CUTS OFF THE VIDEO WHILE HES IN MIDDLE OF TALKING LIKE WTF? 🤦♂️
I mean yall can alway like not buy the sneakers until nike fixes the problems themselves
All size 15s are gone in 60 seconds 😢
Big feet always take Ls
blue 4s they made a million pair. and what u speak of is why they made so many
You're not talking about resalers you're talking about scalpers. Scalpers are garbage
so nice
Good times
I want that sneaker 👟 at 2:25
most people are actually not sneaker heads.
I use the same exact reasoning to wait and pray for the downfall of house flippers
💪💪💪💪
😂😂😂
I see a bunch of GR's in this video lmao. The sneaker game is just fine if you know what you're doing and not robbing your customers.
Go check the link this guy sick
Making a quick 20 bucks profit lol is just stupid these losers need to get a real job
i just bought nice under armour basketball shoes for60 bucks brand new. anyways reselling shit is going on in every market now. shitty cars , clothes. gaming consoles, pokemon cards.
you cant go to a discount place and find cool cheap stuff or buy a used car for a fair price.the resellers are smart because they are making a living out of nothing then also posting videos making even more money. They are still pieces of shit tho
Bro u need do do more research to back up your statement, there’s lot of money on sneaker reselling still it depends on the shoes
Ya daddy shoulda told ya that 😭😭😭
Yo Lame ahh gon have to find something else to do tho if they fail. 😂
You people played into resellers hands by being sheep, buying everything that Nike or Virgil threw at you. Peeps that wear fake sneakers are pathetic, just buy real ones you can afford🤷♂
True BS reselling sneakers will never die I know sometimes it’s crazy but hey if you’re the one selling sneakers well you will get the chance to make some cash 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ it’s like you criticizing a big company for selling stuff for more common sense dude 🤦🏻♂️🙄
morally wrong 💀💀
Faxs no fiction
4 views in 5 mins bro fell off💀
😆😆😆
bro this meme is so ass
You must be that reseller he was talking about 😂😂 I’m hiring just let me know 😂😂
Let the resellers live. Don’t hate on nobody’s way of income. Let them rock out.
The shoe game resellers are like ppl giving the same std to each other lol
