FTP'S FUTURE

IF YOU WANT TO SKIP TO FTP'S FUTURE JUST GO TO THE BOTTOM. SORRY FOR THE LONG ASS POSTS IM ALWAYS MAKING

ISSUE : I'VE NOTICED THAT MANY "OG's" AND "NEW KIDS" HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED BY THIS MOST RECENT FTP DROP AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE REASON FOR THIS DISAPPOINTMENT IS 50% DUE TO RESELLERS AND 50% DUE TO THE DESIGNS AND I JUST WANTED GIVE EVERYONE A BIT OF REASSURANCE SINCE SOME PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP OR ARE ONE PUSH FROM GIVING UP ON FTP

RESELLERS : SO THIS DROP MOST LIKELY HAD A BIGGER STOCK ON ITEMS LIKE TEES, ACCESSORIES, AND HOODIES. I DON'T HAVE ANY INFO TO BACK THIS ITS JUST AN ASSUMPTION. BECAUSE OF THIS MOST PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WEAR FTP WERE ABLE TO BUY WHAT THEY WANTED FROM THIS DROP FOR RETAIL AND OF COURSE RESELLERS WERE ALSO ABLE TO BUY ITEMS BUT I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY MOST PEOPLE WHO WANTED AN ITEM WERE ABLE TO GET IT (EXCEPT THE LANYARD) LIKE THE TEES WHICH SAT AND ARE STILL SITTING ON THE SITE SO THIS MEANS RESELLERS HAVE ITEMS THAT DON'T SELL FOR ANY MORE THAN $10 ABOVE OR BELOW RETAIL BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A DEMAND FOR THEM. BECAUSE OF THIS MOST OF THESE RESELLERS AKA "IMPULSE BUYERS"/"SOMETHING CAME UP" PEOPLE ARE REALIZING FTP ISN'T AS HIGH IN DEMAND AS THEY THINK WHICH WILL GET RID OF SOME BUT NOT ALL OF THE RESELLERS.

DESIGNS : LET ME START BY SAYING I THOUGHT THE DESIGNS WERE DECENT. I LIKED THE H.O.E TEE, HEARSE TEE, MENTAL TEE, AND AT FIRST I HATED THE WHITE HOUSE AND HARLEM TEES BUT THEY ACTUALLY GREW ON ME A LOT. SO I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS WAS JUST ONE DROP AND YES I KNOW PEOPLE THOUGHT THE PAST DROPS WERE ALSO LAME BUT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER DROP, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THIS WAS A BIG DROP. SO THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT "EDGY DESIGNS" THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR THEM ESPECIALLY NOW THAT ZAC HAS SEEN THE DISAPPOINTMENT IN PEOPLE.

FTP'S FUTURE : OKAY SO THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT FTP HAS 3 ROADS IT CAN TAKE. ROAD 1 FOR FTP IS BY THE END OF 2019 AROUND HALF OF FTP PRODUCT WILL BE BOUGHT BY RESELLERS BUT MOST RESELLERS WILL REALIZE FTP ISN'T WORTH THE TROUBLE TO JUST MAKE $10 OFF SOMETHING BUT I CAN ONLY SEE THIS HAPPENING IF FTP RELEASES MORE DESIGNS LIKE THE ONES IN THIS DROP WHICH WILL KILL THE DEMAND AND IF THIS HAPPENS, MAYBE FTP WILL "GET BETTER"/"MAKE EDGY DESIGNS" IN 2020 AND ON. ALSO THIS WOULD MEAN FTP WOULD BE PURCHASED MAINLY BY ACTUAL SUPPORTERS/FOLLOWERS OF THE BRAND WHICH IS WHAT I PERSONALLY WANT AND I BELIEVE ZAC ALSO WANTS. ROAD 2 IN 2019 RESELLERS WILL BUY 70%-90% OF PRODUCT WHICH WILL CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A DECENT RESELL MARKET AS LONG AS THE PRODUCTS ACTUALLY HAVE A DEMAND OF COURSE. BUT LET'S SAY THEY DO HAVE A HIGH DEMAND THEN FTP WILL BECOME THE NEW SUPREME AND MOST OF THE OG'S WILL LEAVE AND FTP WILL JUST GAIN A SHIT TON OF NEW KIDS THAT ARE JUMPING ON THE HYPE AND THIS WILL IN MY OPINION RUIN THE BRAND. ROAD 3 NEAR THE END OF 2019 RESELLERS WILL TURN FTP INTO PALACE AND MOST PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY FUCK WITH FTP WILL LEAVE UNTIL LATE 2020? AND THEN FTP WILL RETURN INTO ITS OLD SELF, MOST RESELLERS WILL BE GONE, AND** PEOPLE WILL COME BACK. LET ME ALSO STATE THAT ITS 1AM AND I TOOK A SHOT OF PATRON BEFORE WRITING THIS SO I UNDERSTAND IF SOME OF YOU THINK I'M STUPID AF FOR SAYING ALL THIS BUT I KINDA JUST STARTED TYPING SHIT DOWN. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK WILL HAPPEN OR IF YOU AGREE WITH WHAT IM SAYING. EDIT : I THOUGHT THIS DROP WAS ACTU**ALLY REALLY GOOD.

FURTHER EXPLAINING ROAD 1,2,AND 3 : so for road 3 i put it at the end of 2019 because palace grew a hype in 2015 or 16 i cant remember but then by early 2017 it was basically all bought by resellers and would almost always sell out. Palace realized that, so they figured they can just release anything and it will sell out so in 2018 they started releasing plain and out there designs (Sound familiar) and the hype had already died for them because resellers were only making 30-40 dollars off of an item and the rest were bricks so resellers fled but some stayed behind because they realized the competition was gone and basically that's why i chose late 2019. the reason for road 1 and 2 is because @supremeleaksnews posted about ftp again and i think this time more resellers will join and then they will tell their friends and their friends will tell their friends. we also have to remember that ftp isnt supreme, they dont mass produce their shit so if even half the supreme resellers started buying aka botting ftp i can see why 1 and 2 would seem possible
