OFFICIAL LEBRON X+ NIKE ID THREAD

I like the idea too. There wouldn't be a dent in Nike's retro market, nor would Nike have to worry about overexposing, and thus detracting from the appeal of certain "exclusive" colorways, if they set up a windowing system. I'm thinking something like movie releases--drop the shoe, wait a few months, put the options to make the shoe on Nike ID for a month or less, take those options down from Nike ID for good, then retro the shoe in 10 or so years.

Resellers would largely be eliminated, and Nike would pocket the money they're currently leaving on the table for resellers, eBay, Paypal, and the post office. Shareholders would be happy.

Eliminating resellers wouldn't be a cost for Nike. Resellers add nothing to the culture, and in many instances are not even a part of the culture. Oftentimes, they're simply opportunists who take advantage of Nike's less-than-profit-maximizing business model, angering and taking money from Nike's true target consumers--those most passionate about sneakers. I see why Nike might be hesitant to potentially take some of the "glow" away from their limited releases that they just love getting in the news for, but under a windowing system where Nike ID's continue to be priced at a premium, thoroughly pimping out Nike ID just makes business sense given this godforsaken aftermarket that currently exists.

Those reds are below ugly.
I'm looking forward to id'ing a pair of X's since I was unable to purchase gold medals and refuse to pay $450 for my size.
 
Altho these will be nice.. I will be looking forward to the Hyperposite ID even more...
 
NikeID just tweeted that you will be able to do the SB IDs in non-plus version...
 
I'll wait til some of you guys receive your SB ID's before I make my own, just to make sure they look good :lol:
 
Is Nikestore going to tweet the link for iDs at 5am? I need to know so i don't forget to set my alarm.
:rolleyes :stoneface: :lol:
 
really wish Nike would put electric green as a choice...i would cop a grey/white/electric green "dunkman" colorway with no hesitation 8)
