Two days ago, the Jordan Brand posted a video and pictures of the Travis Scott x Nike Air Jordan 1 Low "Velvet Brown" sneakers on their account. Fans flooded the comment section, but the vibe was the opposite of excitement.
Fans were left disappointed after they were unable to cop the iconic Travis Scott x Nike Air Jordan 1 Low "Velvet Brown" sneakers.
One sneakerhead with a love for collecting kicks commented,
"No real fan or collector stood a chance. I used to wait in line overnight for the best drops. Now we don’t stand a chance. Re-sellers have destroyed our love and passion for collecting. 40 years of collecting done. 😢 " - @coach.hooper_34
Customers and fans poured out their thoughts in the comments. One fan commented about @jordan23's caption - "The ride of your life awaits." They said,
"The ride awaits only if you wanna pay 8 times retail funny how coolkicks has had these for a few weeks now stacked to the ceiling but you want us to believe we have a chance to get a pair at retail . When you pre ship 70 % to places that almost 10 times the price why don’t you cut them out of the loop raise the price of your shoe a bit and keep all the profit and customers happier" - @bigfletchws73
The fact that the drop went out of stock almost immediately after release irritated many sneakerheads and fans. One comment expressed this by saying,
"Why do they even bother with the release hype if it seems like only resellers get access? Just be honest and tell us it’s for them so we don’t waste our time." - @jmr_512
"4+ years, countless drops, and still not a single win on SNKRS. Meanwhile, resellers out here eating good on every release. Feels impossible for real fans to cop" - @mnz2f
Another fan expressed how resellers are grabbing the latest releases.

Many fans in the comment section were disheartened since getting a Travis Scott x Nike sneaker is becoming increasingly difficult from the official Nike SNKRS website. Those who wish to own a pair will have to turn to resellers to cop them. Raffles are also sometimes held by retailers for specific releases. Keep a watch on those for future drops.
