bout $750-800...packs never do too well unless both shoes are nice...ie pantone pack...At $700 retail and limited... i bet they still sell out quickly unfortunately. Wonder how ridiculous those ebay prices will be looking.
I THINK THEY WOULD. THE HYPE TRAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE "YEEZY" NAME SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN.
wonder if the yeezys would sell out fast at 700 a shoe.
I'm not surprised at the pricing at all. Nike is probably watching the ridiculous resale market and seeing all the money that they are leaving on the table. Shoes they sell for $160 are going for $450 on eBay. I'd start raising my prices too. If people are willing to pay ridiculous prices then why shouldn't Nike be getting that money?...it's their shoe.

Pretty much. If a shoe resales for $450 that cost $160 at retail, then the true market value for the shoe is $450. $450 is what people are willing to pay for it. JB might as well close the gap from the retail to the resale price.
But in my opinion, the resale peeps need to be cut out of the equation anyway. Nike should double the price of their shoes...that way there will be no profit left in it for the resellers. And then someone like myself, that has money, and who is too dang busy to be glued to my computer or camping out at the mall, can just walk into a store 2-3 days after a release (or whenever our schedule permits) and just buy the shoe we want. I don't have a problem making Nike rich...its' their company. What I have a problem with is making resellers rich.I agree with both points, but if Nike is thinking with logic, that would be putting too much "stock" into the whole demand thing. Shoes sell for 450 resell because people panic after the initial release is "sold out". I guarantee if nike starts setting retail prices for shoes at 299+, the whole aftermarket model will crumble, because if the shoes lack hype or fail to"sell out" half these resellers wouldn't touch them due to decreased demand.
250 should be the limit honestly. We all know nike will never increase stock so I can see 250 still being a win. They only cost what maybe 6-7 dollars to make. 250.00 price tag would be almost double what they make now on retros.
