No cracking so far and I put a lot of miles on them.
So if those are like these then the quality is dope
My cement print looks funny though
How long did it take you to receive them from moment of payment?
$125.00 in 2007 had the same buying power as $133.76 in 2010. Annual inflation over this period was 2.28%Originally Posted by Mr718
Your seriously saying its outrageous to have a $25 increase on an imported product after 8 4 years? You must be kidding me. I'm sure there's some extra bread that goes into the company's pocket, however, we need to realize times have changed. I really have no need to justify my purchase to anyone. Its not like I ordered them online and are stuck with something I don't want. I went into the store, saw them, tried them on, and paid. I completely content with my purchase. And I find it sort of funny that for someone who's against this release, 8 out of 10 of your last post are in this thread. Bottom line, if you don't like them, keep it moving. Why waste time typing your life away complaining a bashing the way other people spend their money?

Keep in mind that we're in a new year so 2011 has not been factored in yet. Basic math. 3 years yielded 8 dollars of inflation, 8/3, add $2.60 for 1 more year, $136.36
The price is not justified, at all.Inflation isn't the only thing to take into consideration. Gas is the reason milk cost more nowadays. Walk into your local Walmart with an argument for the manager like, "Why is it that the price of the milk keeps going up and we don't get better quality???"Let's see how far that gets you. Some of you act like Jordans are the only thing in this world that increases in price. Guess what... If you can't afford them, than don't buy it! It's very possible that the price will stay at $150 for the next several years before another price increase. It's possible that we're paying $25 for a box, tag, and keychain. It's possible that Michael Jordan is a greedy SOB and he need some extra money to lure Carmelo Anthony to come play for the Bobcats next season. We don't know. But, if an extra $25 is gonna cause your electricity to get turned off this month, steer clear of this shoe. Besides... Most of the people complaining will cop anyway.
I wont bother reading the rest.
There has been no drastic change in shipping costs and the national average gas price for 2007 was LOWER than it is now.
