i honestly think the price hikes are because of resellers. why is jordan gonna let people profit off his product 2-5x what they paid? look at the cool grey xi that just came out. jordan upped the price to 175, around 190 tax, and the resale has been horrible for people. i see these being listed for around retail all the time in buy/sell
its kinda obvious why swoosh prices have been retail on some of these hyped up releases. nike is a huge company and knows where they take losses.
so the price hikes have been rape for the consumers and calmed down resellers prices (except on BIN, and releases of that status)
he won 6 rings and dropped thousands of jays so i think he knows a little bit about how to hustle some shoes
