“Wait hello, I am an independent shop that Italian with great difficulty these days mixes level streetwear and fashion of research.
Unfortunately, the news is that after the store like mine helped launch the Blazer, these were burned after 2 seasons of excellent work by the big chains. We saw them in Footlocker in super off well before the beginning of the balances between now and my clients do not want them anymore. With great commitment shops like mine, have suffered the blow and have focused on Roshe Run, adopted as their new love. After sowing, last season season, the time to reap the fruits are the shoes rain unannounced at Footlocker. I attach picture taken with my cell phone.
I wonder what is the point, where both the programming and respect for the sower and spends every day forces in presenting products with poetry after careful research and preparation. ”

The great merit of Nike, the company definitely streetwear # 1 in the world is to be assertive at multiple levels, and to be present simultaneously in the hyper-markets, in stores that specialize in technical equipment, in large chains and independent in the store, which today do ‘culture’ and research. Giving to each his own product, depending on the level of sophistication of ‘limited’, of technical features. Perhaps no other brand in the world one has ever succeeded so well.
Maximum respect for the Footlocker doing their job, but if you do not know support the shops who do research and culture, will remain just standing multinationals slaughtered each other to the sound of discounts and promotional channel five.
They are always the weakest to take it in the ass and this is a fact. As long as you do not die before you meet in ‘a system’. A system that is already tacitly. That welcomes and adopts trend, which basically has no official representatives, and that the time to sit down at the table to make negotiations and orders is not invited to the appointment. Also because the invitation card you do not know where to send it.
I have personally witnessed in disbelief, in my city where I have a shop, with piles of Blazer Vintage already discounted in May to 59 euro.
Large retailers have scarfed thousands of pairs of shoes (hundreds of thousands) to burn a model in a few months.
Wait also believed in the new trend and we stressed that the Scandinavian Roshe for us were the future.
But history teaches is that if a product and over-produced, which is found everywhere, in shop windows and less sought, if they put it all, and then it is paid for, you take away value and you do go out of style in a early. Binge today, tomorrow and fasting. Fuck today and tomorrow, time will tell.
The joke is that in Italy, many models of Nike, through the intermediary distribution are sold at the highest price to the independent store than abroad. Now, in the country’s tax and clubbed with the highest taxes, the shoes come at a price higher than Germany, and many other countries.The clients think that the stores are the ‘usual thieves’ and do not imagine that, in addition to have an unsustainable fiscal burden, buy them at a higher price.
In a global world where the public now buy online, shop owners find themselves help to try on the shoes to customers, then say ‘I think’ and run home to order them on Caliroots at 20-30 euro less.
Unfortunately when they’ll burn and fuck all the latest stores, the street culture no longer will finds lifeblood. The trend will die and trend-setters are going to buy shoes online or during a journey abroad, certainly not among the drums of detergents and pads.
It seems like a silly problem, but instead is the index of the closure of thousands of Italian independent multibrand stores, that does not make it any more, a unique social fabric of the country’s economic history. A dying world, for the crisis, and that many companies are helping to kill in the moment of greatest weakness , just those who gave their lifeblood.
Deep bitterness.
