I think a nice cw will make people pay with Kobe elites costing nearly 200 with tax and brons 185 Concords 200 plus with tax foamposites 225, retail consumers are showing Nike that they are more then willing to shell out big dollars for shoes.Last year they released the lows early. They basically started doing quickstrikeish drop after the Heat lost in the Finals. Because I was pissed because I thought the Sprites were supposed to release in July like the year before.The V3s last big release date was May 13th, I dont count the Finals because they released in such a small quantity .And I hope the Elites collect dust on the shelves because Nike is getting stupid with these prices when they really arent adding anything substanial except gimmicks.QFT. 'Bron 8s with the Max Air sole dropped for under $200, now we have to shell out $250 for the same shoe with some extra flywire/hyperfuse crap on it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of the 'Bron line and I've got the 'Basic' 9s but these price increases need to be stopped.

True Story!!! 50% of people I know that cop kicks hated the 9's in August....now they all own at least 1 pair...smh I don't see that as anything to shake your head at. It's natural, people's taste in clothes change over time. Are you telling me you've never bought a shirt or pair of sneakers you regretted buying somewhere down the line? Well it works the other way too. The more you're exposed to something, seeing it from different perspectives can make you change your mind about how you feel about a product. I wasn't a big fan of the 9's (still don't have a pair), but after seeing them more and looking at some of the colorways that have dropped (Miami Nights, Cannons, Chinas) they've grown on me a lot. It's natural for people to change their opinions.

It's natural for people to change their opinions. I think a more accurate comparison is the lebron 8 v3. People thought they would be great until they actual dropped. The other factor is price. Elites are 80 more than the reg version. That's a huge hike. I see myself passing on all elites unless they are something special.
