I think it's also a demographic trend. Many of the releases are re-issues from a time when we were kids and wanted to wear the Jordans / Pennys / Grandmamas / Ewings we saw on TV but couldn't get our parents to spring for them. Now we're older with disposable income and, although expensive, for the most part they aren't crazy expensive. I mean, a pair of decent dress shoes cost more than my Tinkers... but nobody has ever stopped me on the train to tell me how dope my oxfords are!
