Why would you assume that? Sure the design is there but there is design of the molds involved, sourcing of the materials. And.... INFLATION is real.

The R&D has already been recuperated.
When a drug manufacturer recuperates their R&D and their exclusivity runs out the drug can then be produced as a generic. The original (non generic) will always be the more expensive because you are still paying for the name branding. Example: Tylenol = acetaminophen. Same strengths will still have different price between branded and store brand.
So I guess if you want some generic XI's...PayLess?

they're not redesigning the molds and i would assume they're not changing the material sources fairly often
of course i know inflation is real

Now come on people, Nike has recently been showing decent stuff for example the KD 9, The price is lowered, but the tech is better. The same could be said about a few other models. Nike IS moving in the right direction. I don't understand you guys that alredy say the 14 will be ****, Just give em a chance...

If these things are a 7/10 I'll be content. Zoom all out Flyknit with a strap. Let's get it.

Yeah, the Zoom all out Flyknit is super unstable in the heel. I love the design and all but I would be afraid to jump in them.
The only time Zoom Max worked out good was LeBron 10 and KD9 (which is nice apart from being super tight)

I heard these drop Christmas day but since that's a Sunday and the release date up there says 12/26, im guessing he will play in these on 12/25...Nike will do a bunch of product marketing and seeding around his shoes and the sheep will flock to the stores on Monday! So to those that buy, will look forward to the reviews. All Nike purchases for me in 2017 will be on a deep discount starting with these
