Nothing Nike ever mass produced is rare lmao!

1985 OG 1s are rare because most pairs have been well-worn and/or are deteriorated and Nike made a TON of them. DS pairs in good condition easily go for $1000-$2000k

The maroons were a nostalgia shoe to me. I believe they were done well. They are not rare, but if they don't reissue these again then in time they may gain value. It took a long time for them to give us this retro. Id rather have them easy to get with less resell value than the other way around.

I swear they need to do the sport blues justice and give them a proper remaster treatment.

Seems to be the trend. They are just rationing them out slowly. Like maybe 2 or 3 pairs a year, and now that they look to be throwing non-OG 3,4,5 and 6 colors into the fray, who knows when will get the actual NA OG's.
Hopefully by the time they do decide to release prices aren't north of $220.

You know Nike is going to price OG Black IR 6s at $250 min... Really hyped OG cws like that can easily sellout at that price point.

Remastered Grape 5s with embroidered emerald NA?
- 3,690

And that's what I'm afraid of. Especially when you see certain Foams selling at that price. I'm pretty sure there are certain Jordans that if given the OG treatment could command that price point as well.

And they'll be had at a discount later down the road.
People not even paying $220. Why would they pay $250?

People would DEFINITELY pay that for Black IR 6s.. Remember the BF 2014 BIR release? Those were a massive GR and people still took Ls.
Black Infrared 6s are like BC 3s, Bred 1s and Bred/Concord/SJ 11s... There are certain cws of specific models that command a significantly higher demand than other cws (including many other OG cws) and people will pay the extra amount for retail.

I don't know. MAYBE. I thought BM5s were gonna be eaten up and they should have been, but people waited.
OG 11s are a different beast. Black/Red 1s sure. But BIR6s? I don't think they're of that category.

Agreed. If the right OG drops they'll definitely move at $220. The most successful OG drop @ $220 has been the WC4. Those sold fairly well and rather quick for $220. I'd say there are maybe at least 3 or 4 other 3,4,5 and 6's that would trump those in the hype department.

them higher prices are definately scaring buyers away
nike would be wise to cool that off for a few years
people werent having the maroon vi and true blues
cement iv and black silver v sold but it was really easy to get multiple pairs
im just glad hypebeast america moved on to adidas

Nike is still making bank so they have no reason to back off.

People complain about a all leather OG Air Jordan with Nike AIR on the heel for 220 but pay 220 for a shoe made of 100% yarn. I'm blessed to the point where price doesn't bother me so I pretty much get everything I want but it's idiotic that any of the OG Retros sat because of price when folks pair resale prices when they miss out on other releases.
Maroon 6s are grail status

I can't justify the $225 price tag on a pair of shoes. It's not that I can't afford it but if I spend $225-$250 that's another mod/pedal I can add to my guitar rig lol.
