Jordan XVII Low Lightning - May 30, 2024

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

Retail was $225 on SoleFly lows and $150 on OGs, what the heck. Even Trophy Room highs was $275.

$300!

Da ****

I actually had these on my list of shoes I want next year too, but $300 is really outrageous. I'm going to have to respectfully pass., seriously...

$300? Easy pass.

When they are peanuts to make and quality and craftsmanship aren’t outstanding it’s an easy decision.

Limited appeal; limited quantity.

The heads at Jordan Brand are aware that this colorway--along with College Blue--is the most coveted.

They are, rather shamelessly, banking on the diehards, this release.

It's a bad bet on their part then because $300+ tax for some 17 lows is insane.

Super insane. Literally a $150 price increase from 02.

Yes, I know, inflation… $250 was still insane, but $300!!! It’s got to be a line drawn somewhere..
the College Blue pair is going to retail for $350 or $400 assuming it comes with the briefcase and CD if it does indeed retro…

INSANE!

When I got 300+ pairs of sneakers this is difficult to justify adding.

Wonder how low they're gonna hit on sale. Resell should also be pretty much nonexistent.

this brother preachin

There is no way I'm believing it's $300 just for the kicks. If it's $300 they gotta come with something, briefcase at a minimum.

If it is just kicks, then no one is going to buy them including me. I'll just sit on my couch in my OG Lightenings. Granted I cannot walk in them without them shattering, but that's another topic.

Nike been playing with these prices the past 2 years. $190-200. Then $200-210. Then $225-250. $300 was bound to happen. I'm sure they will be super limited and hopefully do come with a briefcase (although lows didn't originally come with the briefcase). The CDG foamposites retail were $500+ and eventually they sold out in a few weeks. I saw a couple boutiques put them on sale, but the prices were still absurd. These will release with about a 10-20k run and sell out eventually. Resell won't be as high. Remember. Nike did say eventually they going to rid of the bots and resellers. This is definitely one way to do it! Raise the retail price! Lol to prevent such activity and get a bigger profit margin.....even if the item goes on sale.

JB trippin on this one

 

[rainking]

If that price turns out to be true
I wasn't in on them, regardless, because I don't really do yellow. But even if these were the blue lows, for $300 they can keep them.
I have said many times that retro pricing is arbitrary and not linked to any tech etc. But this price is so extreme, what BS justification is JB going to give for it? What's so amazingly special about the 17 compared to a billion other Jordans? I won't care if it comes with a stupid briefcase (that these aren't even supposed to have). All that does is take up more room in my closet.
Peace out, 17s LOL

I just fell out laughing reading this! Only 17 I want is the white red and white/black snakeskin. I need these for under $200

 

[blazers21ntnp]

$300 USD can’t be correct.

These ain’t moving at that price, even $250 for these seemed like a stretch for most folk.

Yeah, that’s why I said “if it’s true.” I agree, I’m having a difficult time believing it for the moment. Maybe the person who saw the price was looking at a Nike Canada document

Price makes it likely to hit discount sooner

IN

 

[dmoney23444]

I call BS on this info. Soleretriver always wrong anyway.

 

[Deleted member 246985]

I’d pay a decent amount for the flagship 17’s along with the accessories (briefcase, etc.)

 

[Binstaman]

$300!

Da ****

So roughly $330ish after taxes…

What’s a decent amount?

Nike right now:

Nike right now:

$350 would seem like what they’d charge in todays time given the OG was $200 (inflation says $200 in 2002 would be about $340 today) but we now know it’ll be more than that (according to this current news ) but going off what they’re potentially pricing the Lightnings (and I think those came in a knapsack bag? or was it only the black/chrome pair?), I can expect the flagship 17 with all accessories to be $375+ plus…and I might pay it
