H.I.D.E

Honor, Integrity, and Dedication is everything. As 2011 comes to a close I find myself in my living room taking a look back at a crazy year in the sneaker culture. Releases came in all shapes and sizes this year with every possible extra incentive to get the consumer to spend their hard earned cash.  Everything from special edition boxes to limited quanties brought the consumer out in droves and in some cases caused a bit of mayhem in the process. I only hope that in 2012 H.I.D.E comes back to the sneaker game. While the sneaker business is just that a business, I feel that too many people are in it for the wrong reasons. I'm all for making money but resellers are killing the game with ridiculous prices. In 2012 let's bring the passion for the game back instead of just tryna make a quick buck. Let's have healthy conversation on these social networks instead of turning every post about a shoe or it's release into an argument. Let's not abuse the theory of supply and demand let's work together and find a common ground between the money and the love. In closing 2012 looks to give 2011 a run for its money with many big releases confirmed and many big releases rumored from the Nike Air Yeezy 2 ( confirmed March 23rd @ $235) to the Nike Air Jordan XI Colombia.(rumored Christmas 2012) So strap in sneaker heads it's gonna be a wild ride!
