yeah thats more of what i meant. couple months back when i had a swoosh account i started noticing some of their saturday drops at retail for that simple reason. from what i understand there is a spending limit on swoosh now? should just be one shoe at discount for employees imo.Originally Posted by NikeShoeHead

i know what you mean. i remember when i was a kid my moms would trip off buying me shoes at anything over 40-50 buckstimes have changed and i dont have ridiculous amounts of money to keep up with new releases. i've learned over the years that with newer retros coming out, people tend to sell their older retros to make room for the new, not realizing they are giving up quality (for most older retros) for these newer up to date shoes they come with. makes it easier to get the shoes i didn't have money for later on. i actually have been finding better deals on stuff from 05 and before because of all the stuff releasing now.
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
The reason why Swoosh prices aren't discounted isn't necessarily because of the money making from it.. but rather because they see way too many people abusing the system and using items purchased from the site and going straight to other sites like ebay and shoe sites and reselling them instantly
