yes.. but if it costs less to make the shoe why are we paying 25 more each year for the same thing made worse each time?

Show me proof that it costs less to make shoes now. If znything I would think it would be more Exspensive now then years ago. Again waiting for that proof...
 
So EVERYTHING should get cheaper than because technology advances? Please don't start ur own business

if nike was improving the quality of retros.. not this remastered bull crap.. then yes.. look at jordan 2's.. 86 they had italian leather.. and i believe the 94's had it too.. now the ones after that didnt have that.. if nike was on their game.. the 2's would always be made in italy
 
So let me get this strait h think the newest and latest technology should be cheaper than tgd last big thing?

inflation shouldnt be going up 25 bucks each year.. ideally if nike got their way they could sell jordan 11's for 2k
 
I would guess that Nike is smart and has optimized their operation (through both manufacturing, materials, and distribution) where they are making more profit per shoe now then they did in the past. I would also assume Nike makes more shoes now then they have in the past, which also lowers costs and increases profits overall (economy of scales) I'm sure they have raised prices to put into research, development, endorsements, and more optimization as well. But I also feel like they see it as justified in order to cut into resellers by $10-$20, not to mention fans of the shoe in the past are now older with more disposable income.  There could be many factors involved, but I don't think you can just pass it off as inflation and say it's uncontrollable.

You just proved my point. You had to go back to galaxy foams to reference a shoe robbery. Apple pickers remove your sim and shut your phone off until they sell it. IPhones get hacked everyday b.

Dude is soft, just ignore it. I've tried to explain it to him many many times.
 
O I guess this is dude that fears for his life every release, lol. Explains a lot. I thought it was someone else.
