If you dont know by now or just blind to it... the biggest reseller in the game now is NIKE themselves. Lets think about it, Nike is raising prices by $10-20 and telling the shoes are remastered or premium. Sneakerheads will continue to buy REGARDLESS, since this is a sickness for some lol NIKEs plan is simple, kill the secondary market, yes, there are some shoes that will always fetch money, fragments, dbs, but a person getting FSR are far and in-between. If we do the math, retail $190, tax $210, people are going to give you $40??? an example in relation to columbia 4. you need to sell 10+ pairs to even make a decent profit. time and gas, really dont think it is a wise use of your money. Thus, more and more people will have harder time to sell kicks, consignment stores will have to sit on inventory, and prices will start to drop on secondary market but NIKE will still eat.
