When it comes to price, if you've bought any Jordan's over the last 10 years then I don't see the issue. Dudes will drop a grip on sneakers that are out dated for basketball use with horrid quality quick. How many banana shape Js y'all clowning these own? How many Jordan 1s (basketball shoes that people skate in) do y'all own? Dudes go crazy for 1s but wanna call these runners?
It's all good though. People will flock to the Kyrie line because they are cheaper and make these a breeze to get. Easy pickups for me.
I think that is the gripe though. You buy these to ball in. That means you compare them to other performance basketball shoes. And $180.....i mean lets be real...you can't tell me that these will perform that much better than say the Nike Hyperchase.

These are $110. And imho look way better than the KD8s
Jordan 1s are Jordan 1s you are buying them for aesthetics not performance. So if you want a Jordan 1...there aren't many other alternatives (maybe a dunk hi). But for a performance basketball sneaker....$180 is pushing it for a KD.
That being said...if they go on discount...and can be had for $120 or so...id cop a pair to ball in.
