why are the lebron viii's south beach's SO OVER PRICED?

I think the demand is higher than supply....these weren't really that limited, I was still able to cop another pair 3 weeks later at retail, a buddy of mine said a store in philly was actually trying to move em because they sat for a while. More people are just keeping their pairs so there's not a lot of it floating around. Also, some peeps are buying it at $1000+...its hard to argue against resellers when there are actual people that offer that high

 I lol'd..

I have nothing to say. SB are a great pair of sneakers. The comfort level is off the wheels. Turquoise is just that color. and the black and pink accents compliments the shoe just enough.

Great job JP. keep them coming

Blame us my man. We sneaker enthusiasts set the bar and the market on prices.

You can segment us into Hypebeasts, Sneaker Heads, Resellers and the like...

But we all share one common theme. We all buy kicks.

Look what happened to all those resellers who bought up the Entourages and were stuck trying to sell them off? If you dont buy into the hype you dont pay the absurd prices.

If a shoe warrants a price....and we ALL have our price for certain shoes... we pay it.

No one can complain... we are all apart of this thing the youngin's now call a "game"

agreed, i'm more of a fan of the cool grey or entourage over south beach's and no i'm not mad i didn't get a pair.  i didn't and wouldn't even try to get a pair.  the BIN collection doesn't even go for that much.  the 2s, 5s and 9s are way better in my opinion the 7s are as ugly as the south beaches for me.

Truth, as far as those claiming quality though. It's the same material as the black V1's. The only difference is the pattern along the laces. Don't let the hype also make you believe it's a better overall shoe. Initially people were complaining the color rubbed off from attempting to clean them.

Not even close.... After the yeezy fiasco, South Beaches have set the bar no doubt. I don't feel bad buying 400+ dollar sneakers on the regular now...


If I'm willing to pay 700-800 for south beaches, bet I'm willing to pay 400-500 for a DS Original Air Jordan XI Columbia (w/o any yellow patent)



and would these be desired the same as now if it had NO pink?.... No.
