Official '16 JORDAN XII Black/Red FLU-GAME (NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING FAQS PG.1)

 
They're probably not going to raise the price anymore my friend, other original shoes like the Reebok Kamikazes and CB '94 have been the same prices since their original release.  The only reasons JB/Nike keeps raising the price is because of the so called "remastered" gimmick and the resellers.  Inflation is a small factor but doesn't cost a price increase that enormous.

Also the put the "three-quarter" because that's the height of the shoe (considered as a mid top)
the price is all marketing. Xi is the most thought after, so they pretty much get away with whatever they want to charge. hell, i even bought two pair of 72-10 with only intended for 1 pair.

in case you didn't know, the OG Xi has a much higher cut than the 09-present retros (not just the PL). pretty much the same way they treated the 1 mid and 1 OG high except it isn't as drastic on the Xi.

took this pic as a momento before i sold my OGs that i had for 18 yrs.
 
I still don't see how they expect ppl 2 drop 190 for some 2s. now u sling me that plush og 11 with the white patent cut I'd drop 250 faster than sonic the hedgehog

I think "much" higher is a reach.

Yes, I know the original 11s had a higher patent leather cut but three-quarter has nothing to do with the patent leather cut it has to do with shoe height.

yes, and I am talking about the height of the shoe itself. the height difference is about 3/8 inch. they did the same thing with the Xii as well when they retroed.

Man if they bring back the og cut its a wrap. I doubt they'll do it though. They'll hit us with a banana shape

so long as the price stays at $250. If XIs reach $300 I'm done. Paying $300 for XIs would def push them out of the forefront. There's no way the masses will spend more money on shoes than a new phone or even a game system

Of course they shorten the height of some of the models the 4s, 11s, 12s, and more.
 
It seems the 72 10 had a higher patent leather cut than previous XIs for many pairs.

Jordan's are becoming a thing of the past for hypebeast. The new thrill are those Yeezy's because of that resell price. I've never wanted to be a reseller mainly because most of the popular shoes I liked I wanted to keep. But those Yeezy's are hideous to me. But when i saw a friend of mine resell his black Yeezy's he got through backdoor for $3,000 now I want a pair to flip.

no I wouldn't lol. I'm not for resell at all, why would I want to pay resell prices for retail? Plus I've had bad experiences with older shoes, to much work to maintain and wear

The point is, $300 retail for XIs is something would would have to take them making them 1000% identical to the OG and better materials.
