I have said it before and say it again, who in their right mind would buy a pair of $250 shoes to hoop in? If you think about the only people hooping in these should be : college basketball players, or some type of level of basketball where they buy shoes for you or you get paid to wear them i.e. Lebron. The average person who works 40 hours a week and has other responsibilities would be crazy to buy a $250 shoe to get beat up and stepped on etc.. Just think about it if you get these on a footlocker 50% off it is still going to be 125. Mentioning that makes me think that will be the way many people get them if they are around or if they do not exclude them. But as usual NIKE will say they are limited and people will go crazy when they release a south beach or miami night colorway and they will fly off shelves.
