Sort of playing Devil's Advocate here, but should the Space Jams release they could call it the 20th Anniversary of the movie and thus it'd be a "special commemoration" shoe. Plus, it doesn't have to make sense, Jordan Brand will still do it lol
I agree they could go that route if they release this year. JB could have done the same thing with the Hare Jordans but they were the standard GR price (though they are not an 11 the special commemoration could be applied here too).
This was my point too. Leather instead of mesh sure, but they know the colorway and the market's thirst for it. It'll sell out at $220 without question; they just have no reason to lower it.
Of course, hardcore fans and uneducated fans will purchase them no matter the price but the reason I'm saying $200 to $210 is because the materials used. Also, the Columbia/Legend Blue 11s were $200 and they had leather instead of the usual mesh.
Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the "Remastered" series begin around this time last year? Technically the 72-10 was the first Mid Air Jordan XI to be "remastered". For all we know the price was driven up due to "remastering" not necessarily the tumbled leather. Perhaps the 72-10 was setting the precedent for Air Jordan XI prices for the future.
Well there is something about this theory that doesn't make since, The Nike Air Maroon 6s and Cement 4s are the same price. Usually the 11s would have a higher price than those models. Special commemoration could be applied to those too.
The "Nike Air" treatment man. "Nike Air" White Cement IIIs came out in Jan. 2013 and retailed for $200. Jumpman Fire Red IIIs also released the summer of 2013 for $160. The Holiday Release of 2013 was the Gamma Blue Air Jordan XI which retailed for $185.
I think the actors just read off the script lol. Sort of like a play
Ok, though by that same logic couldn't the Space Jam be in between the $200 to $210 range?

If they release an Air Jordan XI with "Nike Air" insoles I wouldn't put it past Nike/Jordan Brand to charge $250

It COULD be, I'm just saying I highly doubt it. I hope I'm wrong because it'd be awesome to get some Space Jams at a lower than expected price (albeit just a few dollars lower).
Your blurring the lines. He proved the models increased each year maybe pulled back because of poor sale but you cant lump retros with flagship. Xi retros have increased at least each year as far as i can remember. Off the top, breds were 185, Legends 200, 72-10s 220. They will level there then drop something to raise again till there is backlash. I dont think the commemoritive angle matters. Sbb's werent any diff. That graph belongs in the Jordan xxx thread.
No shade on you. Shoes def get lost in the mix sometimes. Just in general though, is that collector mindset that serious?? Or are people trying to stunt. I see it a lot with people who collect 1s too. Not my place to judge others on how they spend their own money though.
