Columbia Air Jordan 4 Retro for 2015 (01/10/15 $190)

$185 Is Said To Be The Confirmed Price, Folks Will Skip On The Columbia’s For The Oreos The Demand Is Higher. There Are Those Who Are Not A Fan Of IVS Without The Netting As Well, Hope These Factors Make It Easier To Cop. The Hype Beast Are More Excited For The Teals Which Is An Easy Pass IMO ...

These are going to sell out

Why I think they are

1. Just to see if it truly is remasterd

2. Long awaited release

3. Jordan brand

4. That leather
 
im not understanding peoples thinking as to why the 1-4 should be cheaper...because they were cheaper back then? lmao, prices go up as time does...lmao
 
i am taking December off (even with the 11's) from new releases, but these got me coming back hard for the new year.

ofc they will sell out. These are 4s. Not those 13s. But they will be pretty easy to get on rd.

I'm not so sure

People are probably already flipping their 11s

Plus that Christmas money as a gift.

I'm waiting for everyone to get em and give their opinions

10 years ago I bought the white/green 4's for $100. There is no shoe, or product in general that increases that much over time in retail. Resale is something different, but brand new from a brick and mortar, there is absolutely no reason they should cost that much. It's your bread, spend it how you like. I just refuse to buy jb products anymore.

really not a big deal at all, labors in china are slowly increasing, inflation, exchange rate you gotta take into account all these factors, plus they are giving us better quality. the cost of these maybe only 10-20 bucks, but they need to make x amount proportion of the profit.

Not a valid argument at all. Air max 95's have been $140 forever. Giving inflation and all of those things you've mentioned they're about $160 now. Now the quality is not the same as it once was in terms of the feel, but it's mostly the same shoe in terms of performance. So we have a shoe with 20 year old technology that has only increased $20 in the past 20 years.

Look at these columbia's, technology that is 25 years old, and now cost $90 more than what it cost 10 years ago. The leather is probably about the same quality as it was 10 - 15 years ago, before Gentry came in and butchered **** so I'll give you that it should definitely cost more. But a 90% increase in price in 10 years vs 15% increase in price over 20 years from a product in the same company? And the AM95 undoubtedly has a larger global recognition and appeal? I'm sorry, paying that much just is not justifiable. If you want the shoe and enjoy it, then buy it by all means. But do not stand up for JB and say that a price hike like that is acceptable when it is not. They will keep hitting yall over the head with these prices, because you believe it's "acceptable". Once yall stop paying these prices, they'll stop raising them.

Exactly. And the dude talking about technology.

....I doubt people buy retros to actually ball in, no one care about the technology. JB increasing the price because they know y'all(well us, cuz I'm copping these too lmao) gon by it.

NT nikkas are something else lmao.

But there is a shoe/product that increases in hype overtime. JB knows people gonna pay it. And I'm prolly one of those suckers. I have no problem paying like $5 or $10 more for shoes....it's $10. I know someones gonna say it's the principal but welp...dont cur

If I was JB i'd keep raising the prices to see how far I could go lmao. Y'all act like they're some non profit organization..nah they want money.

your argument is not valid at all, AM dont sell out in a day, and there arent many air max collectors compare to jordan, if air max models sell out like jordans do, tell me they wont increase the price. if everyone stops buying jb shoes they will go down in price for sure. thats the basic supply demand  affect price and quantity stuff you learn in freshman year of college.

$5 to $10 is understandable. $25 is understandable.

$100 in 2004 is worth $125 in 2014. I was working and in hs in 04 and bought those 4's. I'm making astronomically more money then I did in hs but %90 increase in price vs a 25% increase in inflation is absurd. Maybe it's because I was copping way back when and just don't care for jb at all anymore. I support yall if you're really down to cop, just know what you're doing and don't defend this crap. It's probably the economics teacher in me talking as well, carry on.
 
I feel like this argument is going to go on till release date.

Does the Mold on this release look different to anyone besides me?

how are you comparing your earning to the market price, the shoes are made by those workers in china, not you, not anyone in the states. how much has china developed over the last 15-20 year? you know what that means? wages will go up for the workers right? raw materials price would go up as well right? so what happens? no price change at all if your nike? you wanna make less money every year?

So will we ever see JB drop the retro 4+ blue speckle that was supposed to be after 25 years of waiting?
