It doesnt look out for the average buyer. it goes extreme and makes parents and working adults reach deep into their pockets for shoes that most truely cannot afford.
I buy a lot of Jordans. have been a faithful collector for mutliple years...but i just got a new job, that pays less than i am used to, and now the crunch of these expensive shoes is really hitting home. This post is just put out there in case any REAL NIKE MARKETING MEMBER really reads and cares about the customer...PLEASE KEEP The prices down, relative to the economy...I wanna keep on rocking the freshest shoes on the planet, but damnit, I cant barely afford to anymore.
GIVE the TRUE collectors some love and keep the prices DOWN.
any one else Agree?

The name Jordan, is a luxury. You can comment on the below-par quality all you want, but that's irrelevant to what the brand's stature in basketball. And since it's a luxury item and not a necessity, you don't need Air Jordan's for basketball shoes. There are many alternatives like Steve and Barry's or even season-end clearance items.

The only necessities making price adjustments in these tough economic times... Wal-Mart, department stores etc.

Similarily, you won't see, in times like these Louis Vuitton, Gucci or Giorgio Armani lowering there price to everyone can be wearing their names everywhere. You won't think of Las Vegas lowering it's wagers to attract more tourist.

And it's also a smart business move not to lower their prices in times like these (not to say that they would). While the economy is at the edge of three major auto giants folding, who in the right mind would still have the appetite to shell out $300+ for shoes like the 11/12 pack? Yet Nike/Jordan still has people knocking on their door for more. The demand is there and they're milking people in these tough times. If you can't deal with it, don't buy.
