:lol: white pinnacles are a clean sneaker. The high retail just turned people off after a while. I should be charging that price, not nike :lol:
 
Exactly FOH with $400 retail.
people ain't ready for the 400 retail yet. Can't recall a single sneaker to retail at that which wasn't an auction or something stupid limited and have success

Hey Nike trying to make 4 bills seem doable with that MTM pack price ($700).

Can u blame them? I'm a team retail member but Nike sees what cats do with their product and what people pay. If you sold a product for 40 dollars and people made it their jobs to sell it for 70 wouldn't you charge more? I would have hoped they made more product but they went in the less costly route by just charging more.
 
If demand go up, price go up. Econ 101

But really we did it to ourselves, not nike. I remember when I logged into NT after what seemed like a while and dudes were talking about 800 this and 700 that for some damn 1s. I understand that they're limited and the better raw materials used must have cost nike a whopping 30 bones instead of the usual $20. personally speaking I still felt that $500+ resale was way too much for a $140 shoe so I never entertained that with MY money but to my surprise a lot of YALL in this thread was dropping bread with a smile on y'alls face talking bout "my royals were 800 and then I talked another guy down to 600 and doubled!"

When I saw that dudes were clapping for them types of purchases and lil 13 year olds was charging each other $400 for galaxy kdIVs, I knew the game was fudged up. Lol I'm really not hating at the expendable income needed to buy shoes at such high resale prices, but just sayin a couple years later nike charging us $700 for packs and low top retros are $170 retail.

Most don't get it. Most don't know any better. We're dealing with a majority who finds the concept of "ext" acceptable. They believe they should pay more for a leather "this", when it was once standard on GRs.

i already cut back a lot on the pairs ive bought since nike has been uping the price on retros. id rather buy current gen shoes that are way more comfortable and have basically completely better tech to them

It's F'n social media I tell you. Before, people buy shoes to wear, collect, or stunt for themselves. You appreciate great kicks when you see em on someone's feet. Now people just take a pic of the shoes and do it for the likes and the hearts. Sadly, many are willing to pay a ton to show off that they have something that most people couldn't get which definitely drove up resell prices.

prices always will go up due to inflation, the problem with society is that we allow them to use lower quality material/products. This goes for almost everything including bottled water
