I saw a pair in my size at the Allen Premium Outlets last year. I want to say they were $60. I almost copped for the insole all. I'm a hairy dude and the check kind of sums up my life. Hair cuts and Nikes on the regular.

I knew @Dcypoe81 was going to feel me/agree with me on the Jackie Rob dunk. (Go Dodgers). Nice pickup on the skrimps as well. Can't wait to see if you dye those giraffes how it comes out.

I'm failing to see the correlation between living in Carolina and being a Dodgers fan

Found my 11.5 at Vegas but can't pull the trigger at $120. How did someone scoop them for $40? I called and all of these stores had them for 120.

That's why I got so many of those Josh Gibson dunks. No disrespect to Jackie Robinson because he broke the barrier but if Gibson hadn't died of a brain tumor (just three months before Robinson went to the majors) he may very well have been the guy to do it. It is said that he hit over 800 home runs in his career (average of 50/season) and had over 80 in one season. Furthermore, his lifetime batting average was above .350 which is just absurd. Some even go so far as to call him the Babe Ruth of the Negro League. Again, the point of this was not to knock Robinson at all. The point of this was to make note that Robinson was the guy who broke the barrier but there are many out there who were just as good, worked just as hard, but get none of the recognition today. Since today is the day we remember one of the most influential people in American history (and certainly one of the most influential person in the civil rights movement) it only seems fair to give everyone their own recognition. They all deserve it. It's amazing the adversity they all faced at the time, and yet they still did what they loved. As a white guy, I'll never really know what that felt like but I still respect everything they did to the nth degree. They had more courage on a daily basis than I've probably needed my whole life and that's just incredible that they accomplished things that to this day are considered record-breaking.

Hmm.. here is the post that said they got them for $40.

If I had to take a guess he lives in a place far from the west coast where they sat for a long time in big numbers, hence the lower price. I would quote and ask which outlet had them for that price.
edit: I Should have read his post more closely, he said he got them at the Howell outlet in Michigan.

No worries, appreciate the help. Called MI and they don't have any, said they had 1 return that was sold.

And there you have the reason for the $40 price tag.

Well hopefully you get yours eventually. It's a little outrageous they are selling for retail at the outlets... what's the point at it being at the outlet then?

I'd been looking for an excuse to wear it for a while the warmer weather today made me break it out.

Only thing I can think of is different eyes seeing them. Not everyone shops at skate shops or ndc.

These are not "outlets".

The CS rep gave you the details to Niketown NYC, Nike SF and Niketown Las Vegas.
Can't speak on what other outlets charged, but Cali's rang up at $69.99 at my local outlet.
