People pay this now for new Jordans that release and then sell out... So I think it would hurt the resellers but people would still cop the new Air Jordan releases.

Actually if you look at it from that perspective... Pretty much if you sleep and end up paying re-sale prices the price point will probably be $300-350 on a shoe that retails for $225.
$300-350 would pretty much be the standard re-sale price which to me is ABSURD.
I've resold shoes and I've bought shoes from resellers, so I can relate to both sides of the spectrum. But IMO $300-350 as an average resale price is just too much, and I'm sure 90% of you guys will agree with me.
So in short, this will def. hurt the reselling game but will also hurt Nike's revenue as well, cause we all know it's resellers who buy out most if not all of Nike's inventory... and without buying power like that, who else is Nike gonna SELL their shoes out to?

Im sorta in agreement with you here.
Although I dont care for the Premio's, I would be willing to pay 200-250 for regular Jordans that had the same quality/shape/materials of the OG's.
As an added "bonus" of the high price point, there might be fewer hypebeasts and trend followers who just needed to get the latest release.

If you're talking about the Nike price hike, it's only gonna be $10-12 more.
Now, if Jordan Brand considers using superior materials (which I don't believe) and charge us $15-20 to use those materials, then I would say, show me you can first.
