50% price hike? Did you buy them for $100 sometime in the last 20 years? What are you talking about???

I could have sworn I just paid like $125 for the fire reds just three years ago.

Well in 93, I'm pretty positive I paid $99 for my first III's...the cement III's, which was the original price. Even the true blues in 2001 were $99.
In 2007 I paid $125 for fire red III's
The original XX's cost $200.
The 3/20 CDP with the garbage XX's cost $310.
Even the true blues, on an international release were $130 EUR. From what I read, don't they typically get charged more, so that justifies the $175.
I think the prices have gone like this $100, $110, $120, $125 for the different versions of III's. See where I'm going? Where does the $25 increase from?
So where exactly does the $150 come from, a $25 increase in just three years and a $50 jump?
Seems like Jordan listens to demand to determine prices like with the XI and these, but not when it comes to quality or what we really want.
Man, after this release I think I'd have come full circle and I'll be done with buying Jordan's. First Jordan's I loved, first I wanted and first I bought.

It won't take an economics major to understand this flow chart.
