Nike Air VaporMax

[SolesNGoals99]

These are “fallin” anywhere but to the outlets & flat.

I think more & more people are starting to penny pinch again because inflation is starting to hit more and more pockets. Luxuries are becoming luxurious and wants are becoming luxuries and needs (bills) are hitting harder than ever

Those J Balvin Jordan 2s were $300! Like huh?!? Hard Pass.

Vapormax creeped from $190 to $210. Now a huge jump to $250. People gonna jump away lol.

$250! Yikes!

The upper on these is fire. Are there any non-platform versions of it?

Hey I've been Nike since day 1. I'll be 50 in a few weeks. So I've been loyal for decades. But gosh darn $250 for what should be a GR. That's a bit daunting. Like someone said paying more for recycled material doesn't make sense. I think they claim there are more steps to use recycled material - makes sense actually - so it costs more in the end but again, reusing stuff and it costing more seems ironic though. Plus aren't these a non-performance model? Haven't they been marketed as or at least been mentioned as a lifestyle shoe? $250 for a lifestyle shoe when performance models cost similar. Ummm, really?

 

[lynchpin33]

the bag on these pop or something? what are we looking at here?

 

[SolesNGoals99]

Just the fact he got them “early”. Literally the day after nike officially issued their press release

I’m 44 so right behind you. I never asked for recycled materials either. Do we really know how much it helps the environment?

I posted the Scorpion in the ATATF group in Atlanta and most agree:
1. Overpriced
2. Going to sit and go on sale
3. Why is it not a GR

Recycled material lol. You right. Beaverton gona Beaverton though

The other thing ridiculous is it comes in giant boxes wrapped in another box so really what are we saving?

I just picked up the air max flyknit racers and they came in this weird brown-ish beige box with a pull tab to open & no markings on the outside besides the shoe label. Hella weird. Luckily FNL shipped it in a separate box

Well it's recycled cardboard, paper, and material.

True but with all the stickers etc attached I wonder how much is recycled?

To me, i would set up an optional program where items are shipped to a store and you can do pickup. Also should help with theft (been a big issue in Atlanta).

I think they were working on a dual-purpose box a little while back. One that was a shoe box and shipping box in one. So the shoes used one box not two to ship in.

Yup that’s the box they came in. Box is not sturdy at all & i dont see how it could/can be dual purposed, especially with how negligent shipping carriers in general are. I can absolutely see envision shoes being destroyed in transit with this box if shipped alone.

 

[tigo0240]

They sent my Pegasus Turbo next natures in that box...inside of another box

 

[a-friend]

Had to return my MintFoam/Siren Red VM+.
Front bags went flat.
No more 13's in stock.
$240 cash back after 60days of wear, I guess.

 

[ALNotSure]

Well they sold out. Gonna contemplate life now and wear some New Balance in protest.

I am curious to hear thoughts.

Nike capping

 

[vettez06]

I'll wait for them to go on sale.

 

[SolesNGoals99]

When does nike NOT anymore? Ever since the release of the SNKRS app they’ve been doing this

 

[tigo0240]

$250 is moronic...they can keep 'em

 

[gwizzle]

I wouldn’t pay $1 for those blimps lol

 

[putting in work]

Curious about the feel and fit of the Scorpions but not willing to shell out that $250.
