It was inevitable. Stupid greedy people will keep buying and reselling and Nike will continue increasing the cost of new retail shoes. After all they want in on the resell fun eating away at yalls profits. Its like a hamster spinning its wheel

Nike gonna have to make these limited when they did the $250 price on the first 17 retros those sat around for a while.
Annoying as hell but that’s Nike for you

If it is 90% of the original, as far as the actual shoes go then I can accept that. However, I was expecting $250-270.

Yeah the price with inflation since 2002 is $260. But I don’t know where the extra $40 is coming from. Especially with tech from 2002. No way to legitimize a $300 price tag. I think this is a market test to see what Nike/JB can get away with as far as pricing goes. Right now is the perfect time to test the consumer base by increasing prices with how bad the economy is doing. Everyone needs to let these sit and have either resellers or JB take the loss. This is just anti consumer on every level

They might be expecting these to get marked down anyway. $250 is probably the sweet spot where most people will pull the trigger, that is probably what Nike is thinking.

Theyre not testing anything and get away with it they will. Nike know these will sell out 100% These are another OG shoe MJ wore and will be aimed at the older crowd , they knowing we have the funds to shell out , bad economy or not. Just a matter of getting the logistics ready on how the release will go.

I wonder if these will become trendy somehow. 90's style New Balance and Asics running shoes are in right now. Who saw that coming?

This crazy that they pricing them at $300 but I guess I’m crazy as well cuz I’m still snagging these joints. Saving an extra $5 per check for these.

If the ones without the suitcase are going to cost $300, how much are the highs going to cost? It doesn't make sense.

I’m expecting those lightnings to hit a pretty good discount
Those shoes have no history to them
$300 is a joke

When the Air Pressure came out as a retro for $300, at least it came with the OG clear case and other small items to “justify” the price. But, $300 for a LOW top with no extra stuff is criminal

Unless they're only making 10K pairs of these or whatever counts as truly limited, these are going to rot. Pricing these at $300 is tone deaf at a time when the cost of everything is through the roof, sneaker resale prices have somewhat crashed, and these shoes aren't like some uber-special Jordan made with the highest-quality materials the sneaker world has ever seen. The eff even supposedly justifies the 17 low as $300?
If they had, say, never retroed the XI or even the WC or BC III and they finally did now and charged $300, it would still be total BS but I could at least see the thinking. But 17 lows as the shoe you choose to really test the limits of retail pricing? Uh, OK, then.

This is actually a blessing in disguise
Cause if they’re going to test the market with this shoe…
We the market are going to score a great victory against the machine

2016 XVII+ Coppers are going for ~300 on StockX in most sizes. I would rather grab a pair of those if I didn't already have them.
