These will be my next cop if it isn't going to be too limited.
It did jump, Chet. While not too much, the quality has gone down tremendously, ie the midsole on the 3s and 4s now crack because of the cheap paint instead of being dyed like the OGs that didn't crack.
Should be a GR, no? What do you plan on rocking with them, brosef?
No need to keep up with inflation when you're retailing something for $140 and your cost per unit is $16.
The last pair of Jordans I bought, just a few months ago, ran me I think 160 on Nike.com. I know they went up another 10 or so since and that some releases are 200+. Still, it's surprising they haven't even kept up with inflation, especially since the demand is obviously high.
Sadly, some are speculating Prelude numbers. The hi's, especialy with the multicolor flyknit are limited while the low top version (not yet revealed) are the ones that's a general release.
Eh, got to keep in mind they also have to pay for researchers, new innovations, the machines for those new techs, sponsorships/endorsements, distribution, etc.... At the end of the day Nike still makes bank but it isn't as black and white or as simple as $16 for a pair of shoes.
Overall, probably more like $20 per shoe.
