Packs will continue to go up in price because Nike/JB realize that people will pay the price for them.  I know cats who are fellow shoe enthusiast and work for shoe companies.  They gauge their price points by what the market is willing to bear.  Of course branding and quality play a role but a lot of the info they need is found on sites like these.  Every retailer or manufacturer has a target audience.  If they are already selling a pack for 10 times the cost of manufacturing from the jump and people will pay $150-$200 over retail, then it's a no brainer. 

The CDP's were $310 when they first released back in the days.  And they had a better combination of shoes than the GOF.  Jordan brand has already admitted that the quality of their retro product is lacking but they still priced the pack at $500.  And people still bought them up.  The XX9 is a great shoe in regards to its purpose -balling.  The XI is nice as well but by no means does it deserve a $250 price point when you split the cost of the pack per shoe.

Thanks for the headsup.

Looks to be just under US retail after shipping ($470 shipped).  Unfortunately, KICKZ doesn't remove VAT.  All depends on customs charges I guess.

I might give it a shot.  I have the size 14s thanks to @babyJs23  from ShoePalace, but would prefer a 13 if possible.  The size allocations for these must have been crazy.  Didn't see many having luck on the size 13s.

I might be in the minority but the GMP pack was a dope pack, and $350 retail for two shoes I actually liked wasn't bad either

Imo DMP is goat and retail was 294.99
A few CDP were cool too. 11/12, 10/13, 7/16, 6/17... As far as having 2 good shoes in a pack

in terms of shoes that prolly won't be released and having two nice shoes the rivalry pack is the best pack for me

the dmp was the best before the concords came out so many times

That might've challenged the DMP XI/VI pack for greatest all time. It also would've led to more sneaker-related deaths/riots then I care to think about.

the deaths part came to my mind when i thought about it as well… times have changed a lot since the dmp pack
 
My sivadescalzo pair shipped!

@djhotsauce and @mehoneydee much thanks for the link and the heads up when they came back in stock respectively.

Now does anyone know what shipping company they use?
