See JB & Nike just want to cut in on resellers but are blind to the fact if they do increase their prices sneakerheads wont be able to copp every release. I just cant see me spending 250 plus on kicks ever other week.

I'd never pay over 200$ for any Jordan no matter what. I love shoes, but no shoe is worth 200$ in my opinion.
If there's a shoe i like that costs 200+ it's an automatic pass until i find a steal on ebay or something.
I know i'm probably somewhat unique in that sense, especially on NT, but when you're not making a lot of money, it's important to
keep your priorities straight.

yeah thats more of what i meant. couple months back when i had a swoosh account i started noticing some of their saturday drops at retail for that simple reason. from what i understand there is a spending limit on swoosh now? should just be one shoe at discount for employees imo.Originally Posted by NikeShoeHead

i honestly think the price hikes are because of resellers. why is jordan gonna let people profit off his product 2-5x what they paid? look at the cool grey xi that just came out. jordan upped the price to 175, around 190 tax, and the resale has been horrible for people. i see these being listed for around retail all the time in buy/sell
its kinda obvious why swoosh prices have been retail on some of these hyped up releases. nike is a huge company and knows where they take losses.
so the price hikes have been rape for the consumers and calmed down resellers prices (except on BIN, and releases of that status)
he won 6 rings and dropped thousands of jays so i think he knows a little bit about how to hustle some shoes
The reason why Swoosh prices aren't discounted isn't necessarily because of the money making from it.. but rather because they see way too many people abusing the system and using items purchased from the site and going straight to other sites like ebay and shoe sites and reselling them instantly
