Few topics in sneaker culture are as hotly debated as the subject of reselling. Arguments have been made ad nauseum in support of and against it and our own Russ Bengtson chimed in on the possibility that the sneaker resell bubble could possibly be on the verge of bursting.


In a sign of the times, Instagram user @my_cow_sang shared with us an image taken of a white board at Flight Club New York showing a number of recently hyped pairs that the reseller's paradise would no longer be accepting. While it should be noted that FC has always had the right to refuse pairs, the number of styles on the board should be a bit disconcerting to those who rely heavily on reselling for their livelihood.

Amongst the notable shoes listed are the recently released Nike Flyknit Racer "Oreos," the "Air Jordan XI "Legend Blue," Air Jordan XI "Georgetown," all Roshe Runs, and the Air Max "Patch" series. And the most hilarious part? "DON'T BRING RESTOCKS!"


While in no way is this going to deter some resellers from continuing to make their money, they might want to consider other avenues of hustle.
