Could someone please explain Flight Club NY/LA to me? I'm looking at this pair of Spiz'ikes that I like but there are two prices ($220 and $240). Both are apparently "brand new in box" but why the twenty dollar difference?

Besides the demand, it also depends on the rarity. Certain sizes are harder to find than others, hence why they command those prices.

Shore, those are dope. Wish they came in all white.

I did some more looking around and a few shoes I like usually have 2-3 prices. Keep in the mind, these are the exact same model, size, and (allegedly) the exact same condition. Would you order the cheaper pair or the most expensive?

It's a consignment shop and doesn't the owner of the shoe sets the price for their item and the store just gets a percentage of that sale or they add their own mark-up for their own profit.

Spizikes sucks btw.

You're just jello because I'd be getting four sneakers for the price of one.
