I thought these retailed for $130 in 1992.

Last Cardinals I copped were the 06s in 2007 or 2008 for $100 from DTLR. They randomly had them sitting there a year+ after release. Couldn’t pass on that, but 210 is too steep for me.
Hope everyone who wants, gets these in their hands.

This inflation nonsense again? 
I’m not saying inflation isn’t real, but it doesn’t fully apply here. There were other costs, R&D, advertisement, etc., that aren’t there for these retros. Not to mention, we’re not getting the same product as we did in 1992.
Why do people resist the reality that Nike increases prices on some products because they can?

Not sure but I remember getting my playoffs for $125 + tax. The 8’s had a price increase to $135 in 1993.

I called Nike and gave them the original style code on both and the 7’s retailed for $130 and the 8’s were $140 in both it’s respective original years of release.

Sounds like I got a deal then 
Could be cause my pairs were purchased in a department store as opposed Footlocker or a similar store. I remember specifically that my playoff 8’s were 146 with tax, in CA.

I just need pics of this particular pair to surface and I will be happy. These are one of, if not, my most anticipated release for this holiday season

Nike sets the market because they can, nothing to do with inflation. With this being said, I do not care.
5 pairs minimum, these will probably never release again in my lifetime.
Let’s do this thing baby

PLAYOFFS (no other 7 beats these imho)
Hares
Cards
Oly
Bords (I really don't like the cw but bc I love the 7 they make the list)
Definitely in on a pair (assuming quality is good). I honestly don't understand how the J7 doesn't get more love the silhouette is just amazing.

I think 7s as a model gets its love. I understand why people would turn away from the Cardinal due to its plain look. Myself on the other hand think its a perfect simple shoe. The 7 will always be my favorite though. I have the last two releases. I will not be passing on these because who knows if we will ever see these again. Especially if the release does not sell out.

Need to see the lace tips to make sure they’re gold. That silver on the last retro was TRASH.

Remember when different Jorden retros had different prices depending on the model?
Now it seems the standard is just $200/$210 and just use inflation as an excuse....when i feel prices for retros have been going up since like 2016 or before.

I think they might’ve finally started making the tongues a little taller on the 7s.. Need to get a pair in hand to be sure tho but these and Citrus 7s the tongue looks higher.
I always hated how on most of my 7s the tongue is lower than the top of the ankle collar.
