I think someone will come in here on a high trip and talk about inflation 

We know these prices are based on the consumer's demand for the Jumpman logo.  

JB kept it "OG" with the prices back in the Golden era of 2000-2004.

But are they...really?

Maybe the XIs...but a rack of shoes from the signature line are still sitting.

So, yes it is too much. These are guaranteed to go down in price within weeks. No one is really going to buy these, just like last time. They sold, but still sat.

Bordeauxs may sell a bit better, but they'll still sit. Even if they stuck with the $125 MSRP, they would still sit, so I can't really fault JB for getting that extra $25 out of a shoe when they know their product isn't moving like that.

And I'm not referring to the IIIs, XIIIs, or XIs. Those will always sell. I mean the in-between sigs. I don't blame them, but $150 is too much.

Especially when I'll pick them up from the outlets for $70 in September.

really can't believe they're coming out again... but then again, it's probably right on schedule.

You're right, they're overpriced, but you have to look at it from JB's standpoint.  There ARE people who will pay full price on RD, or very shortly after, so they're going to capitalize on that with the overinflated price.  If the prices have to drop later on, so what?  They just made that much more off the X amount of people who wanted them immediately (or worse yet, were afraid they'd sell out on RD

) then they would have made had they started with a lower price right off the bat.  Those sales are a bonus for them.  THEN they'll get all the other sales from people who will only buy them once they're discounted.  It's a pretty common practice for most retail goods.  Milk the people who have to have a product immediately for excess profit, then drop to what should have been the original MSRP for a while.  Once you've milked that second wave of sales, you move to clearance pricing to get rid of what's left.
