Air Jordan 17+ Retro "Copper" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

WTF are you talking about? The only XVIIs that were $200 in 2001-2002 were the ones that came with the briefcase and cd... Do you really believe we are getting the same thing for $250 when these retro?

 

They're gonna learn when nobody buys their $190, non-OG 2s next year.

 

Thats what im saying, its like they playing with my emotions lol

Nobody wants these, give us these please

and these

 

Don;t know what to think of these

 

If I remember correctly 17+ still retailed at $200 (without the same accessories as the XVII). $250 is still steep and stings a bit. The price of nostalgia.

I loved when MJ wore these in the Super Bowl Gatorade commercial "23 vs. 39."

 

The 17+ retailed at $180 or $185 from what i remember so its about a $70 jump. The 17s were $200 with the suitcase and it was a big deal at the time because of the price point.

 

I'm just gonna hold out hope that they release the college blues next year as well in the fall or winter or something

 

was just talking to one of my boys yesterday about how JB need to retro the 17s. the sneaker gods heard my cries lol.

coppers will be copped

hope JB don't forget about the college blues & these as well...

 

did you quote what I compared the $250 too? 17's on ebay are going or $600+

 

From what I can find (as well as remember), the retail on the original XVII+ was $165. I have attached a few pictures showing price tags on the original boxes of a few pairs of XVII+ (not my pictures). Two say $165 (from Champs and Eastbay)... the other says $175 from "J-Sport." I'm going with $165, as that seems right.

It definitely wasn't $200.

 

Touché, I stand corrected then. Nostalgia is never cheap.

 

Read my previous posts, I know we ain't getting the case with these.

 

I agree and hope JB starts getting a little more humble in terms of their pricing.

 

Copper XVI's are Grail Status! $250 is nothing compared to prices that I have been looking at for a DS/ NDS pair of these. 

 

and?

 

and for people that really want them 250 is a lot cheaper than $600

 

 Since people want to justify prices based on ebay, the next OG 1 might as well retail for $350, what a bargain

 

Hey you can complain all you want about prices, the reality is that ebay prices do affect JB prices.And everyone knew that Jordan retros 16 and up were gonna be expensive

 

Would've been dope if they re released with the briefcase, but I'll pay $250 for these.....only a $50 increase since 2002

 

NAHH, the 23s at the end of this year won't even be $250. JB prices things how they want to. 16-22 technically released in the cdp 2008 packs for less than their original price (pack was $310, $155 each).

 

you dudes trying so hard to feel ok about some of the worst retro pricing ever. You're going off info that's not even accurate. It's already been shown in this thread what the price really was. Let's compare... 1s are basically $100 over original price. these are $85 over assuming those prices are even accurate in that catalog. It lists other shoes for the current $190 price so these could likely be even more than 250. now how much newer are these than the 1s?? Where is the inflation argument for that one? I guess JB has some magical way of doubling inflation on certain shoes? Some cat will come on here next and try to tell me it's worth it if they include the dust bag . I'm done

 

JB knew the original XVII's cost between 170 and 200 so they see it as a logical thing to make them 250 remember they are also using their "Remastered" price scheme.Not saying its ok but thats just how it is,people can buy them or pass.
And CPD's came out before JB went crazy with their price raises
