Jordan "MTM Pack" 1 & 29 - June 26th - $700 Retail?

How many people picked up a raffle for these today at Mercer? There was no line when I passed by so I ducked in for a ticket. Anticipated a crowd but was in and out in under five minutes.

Too much heat coming out this Saturday for anyone to care or risk buying to resell lol
 
While the pack looks nicer than most of the other stuff they've been putting out, $700 is ridiculous and is getting out of hand.. I'd love to see these sit, but I doubt that happens although I also doubt resell on these will be that great/high compared to others..
 
the 1's are super dope and the 29s are the 1st well executed shoe of that model imo.

this pack is very nice, but not anywhere near $700 nice. that being said, i will not be copping.
 
At the end of the day we all know this crap will still sell out :{. Props to Nike/JB for once again showing that there are people willing to take whatever they produce

I don't understand why people complain about high priced AND regular priced sneakers (that get scooped up by resellers).. If Nike produced greater quantity shoes and sold them for $150-$180, they would literally kill their own hype. At least with high retail priced shoes, you not only are able to cop-the money you spend goes to Nike and not some reseller... If Chicago 1s had a $350-$400 retail price, they would've been MUCH easier to cop because profit margins would've been a lot smaller for resellers.

This is just my opinion but I'd rather pay a high retail price rather than a righ resale price.

I wonder if they're testing the consumer to see if they can do a price increase on packs.

Most likely.. If they dropped a limited AJ XI/I pack, they could probably get closer to $1000. Insane if you think about it-bad for resellers, good for Nike/JB and either good/bad for the customer (depending on how you look at it because it woll make shoes easier to get but more expensive).
 
What makes giving more money to NIKE better than resellers?

I agree with your logic about profit margins. But in the end, profit is still profit. And you still end up paying more than retail.

So you still lose. Higher retail ain't the answer.

Took a close look at these in Paris during the Quai 54 tournament.

Honestly, I can't understand the price difference. To me, the 1s looked like another version of those terrible 1LAB4 releases. The 29s had some nice material on them, but this is all.
 
Honestly, does anyone want them? Absolutely no hype whatsoever. Resellers are probably going to have to sell for under retail
 
I won at Mercer. Do I go through with it and cop though, that's the question...

Have the Yeezy confirmed, these won, but no SBB locked - the only shoe that I really wanted. #Winningworldproblems shrug

Best of luck on the SBB search.

Depends, are you willing to pay $400-500 for those MTM 1s? I highly doubt you can sell the XX9s for more than $200...
 
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. 

Also at $250-$300/pair retail, people would start to become more selective about what shoes they buy. I think Nike is slowly trying this with the XIs to see where people are gonna stop biting (they're also being VERY careful with the price increases). I bet if Space Jam XIs retro next year retail will be $250 or around that amount.

Man how you gonna put in for a raffle and not cop when you win?!?!
 
Nice pairs, just not worth $700. I mean let's think about it mathematically.

Air Jordan 1 retail- $160

Air Jordan XX9 retail- $225

That's $385, Jordan 1s and 29s don't retail at $350 each.

The price is ridiculous, but they're both nice pairs.
