My favorite thing about this is

You can buy royals or 99% of any dope foam(sans galaxy paranorman DB etc)

For less than this pack that has a shoe no one wants

Don't even get me started on dudes willing to drop $750-$800 resale for this lol

Oh but I know the box is nice

Because

Your going to wear the box...


Riiiiiiiight

 Exactly, thank you! I had been considering this pack until I thought about it like that. I don't have royals so I can get them in my 11.5 size below $500. There's plenty of better ones, electric blue pros, pewters, coppers, metallic reds, eggplants, that if people don't have, they should go for instead of this pack. 

I understand if someone really really really wanted the shooting stars but after thinking over it, this pack is not worth the money at all. To me, at least.
 
The Lil Penny's are not that bad, just not willing to pay anywhere near $200 for them, let alone $250. I've never paid that for foamposites, haven't bought a pair since the red metallics(I'm used $200 and less). I was considering the shooting stars at $250 but the dirty move to put them in the pack killed that. It's why I and others posted earlier that it's a shame this pack will sell out. It's cool to like either shoe but don't be a sucker and overpay. Heads like to say "why worry about what others do with their money?". It's because we're all affected by those who choose to pay ridiculous retail prices. Just because 1 can afford to pay the retail doesn't mean they should, there has to be some principal involved.

I like the lil pen but not as much as the foams

 
years ago this pack would sit. just like the Toro 5 Pack sat. I know people that got those for $100.

Now we must compete with everyone and their mom (literally) who want to resell this booboo crap to the thirsty floridian kids and their rich parents.

TRUTH!
 
I know very little about foams...

But I really don't think these will sit.

The shoe game is irrational... it's fueled by emotion more than anything now.

These will sell out, I don't doubt it for a second.
 
Some Of Y'all Dudes In Here Need To Go Pop A Midol And Rest Your Head On A Soft Pillow :lol:


Dude's Really Complaining That Some Of Us Can Afford To Break Bread On This Pack And That Ruins Things For Those That Can't? If You've Got That Kinnda Mindset, You Don't Need To Be Wearing Rare Nikes Bruh.

It's Called CAPITALISM People, The Basis Of Business In This Country From DAY ONE!

You Think Brands Like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Purple Label RL Etc Care That Certain Folks Can't Afford Their Products? Why Should Nike?

If You Can't Afford Em, Stay In Your Lane And Keep It Moving! Cats In Here Sounding Real Dumb Right About Now Whining Cuz You Can't Afford To Cough Up The Dough To Put These On Feet :rofl:


That Being Said, Hoping To Get Lucky On At Least One Of The Local 3 Shops Doing Raffles And Should Be Golden For Another Pair Or Two Online Come RD :nthat:

I'm copping the pack for the shooting stars, do I feel like its overpriced and unfair that I have to buy lil pennys? Yes

Do I care that other dudes can't afford it or choose not to cop? No
 
Highly considering getting 2 packs.  Im getting a pack for myself and hopefully I can split the other pack with a friend.

THIS


Is Nike A Marketing Genius For Forcing Us To Cop A Lesser Desired Pair Of Footwear By Placing It In A Pack With A Pair They Know Is Desired? YES

Is The Price A Little Higher Than It Should Technically Be? YES

But To Sit In Here And Complain Because You Can't Afford To Have Them Is Just Downright ***** Made! To Say Those That Can Afford To Do So, Shouldn't So That MAYBE Things Will Drop Down Into A Price Range You Can Personally Afford Is Even More Asinine!

That's Like Telling Someone At A Luxury Car Dealership "Yo My Dude, I Know We Both Like This New Car You're About To Purchase, But Since I Can't Afford One Personally, You Should Hold Off On Copping Yours, And Maybe The Manufacturer Will Lower The Price Down To What We Both Can Afford Someday" :smh:


How You Sound With That Mess?

Nike Has Plenty Of Affordable Models Of Footwear Out There.... If The Price For This Pack Doesn't Fit Your Personal Budget, Maybe This Purchase Isn't For You?


I'm Just Sayin

There's a difference between not being able to afford them Vs refusing to pay inflated retail prices because you know better. A lot of today's market don't know any better, hence the $250 retail price for a so called "premium" shoe. Most honestly think they're supposed to pay more for a shoe just because a change in material or a gimmick print/graphic. Years ago, suede and leather were standard GR material, now they're passed off as premium "ext". I don't own a single ext model based strictly off of principal that the materials should be standard and regular retail. More power to anyone who chooses to pay these absurd prices, it saves me more money and allows me to pass without thought with the trend of steady price increases.

More Power To You Indeed For Sticking To Your Guns Buddy.... No One's In Here Forcing You To Spend Your Money And Nike Sure As Hell Isn't Begging You To Do So :lol:


Years Ago, Gas Used To Cost Much Less Than A Gallon Of Milk.

Reminds Me Of When I Was A Kid Wanting The New Jordan Release Each Season In MJ's Prime. Every Year Pops Would Say "You Know How Much Basketball Shoes Were When I Was A Boy?" And His Father Did The Same To Him When The Time Came To Buy A New Pair Of Chuck Taylors For $5 Or $10 When He Was Hooping As A Young Boy :lol:

Times Have Changed Unfortunately And Thus Prices Rise On Consumer Goods. As The Consumer, You Can Choose To Get With The Times, Or Ride A Bike :wink:


Another Beautiful Thing About CAPITALISM Is The Consumer Has The Choice To Say No If They So Choose :smokin

although I wont be participating in it, very interested to see how this release turns out overall. Only Nike pack I can recall in recent history with a sig. model other than the LeBron championship pack, think it could be something they use again with other themes or new models in the future. Lot of places getting these?? just in general overall; just curious!
