The $75 million/5-Year deal is unprecedented but at the same time, on the low side? We also discuss the keys to success for the partnership to work. Sotheby's recently sold 100 pairs of sneakers, one of which, became the highest-selling sneaker of all time. The auction seems absurd but signifies a huge shift in how sneakers are viewed, and that could mean your own collection just went up in value.

With rumored mishaps and failed releases at the recent ComplexCon event in Chicago, we discuss the current trend of overhyping releases to the point of no return. We also discuss the opportunity cost of standing in line for hours or paying for VIP tickets when the real value of conventions isn't in the releases. Nike Basketball has one of the most expansive back catalogs in all of footwear. Why aren't we seeing retros successfully released the way we have Air Jordans? The guys discuss the shoes they'd like to see return and how the brands can make them popular again.
