Tinker mentioned he hopes to raise more money than the 2011 release. How else can Nike do that without an auction? And please dont tell me release more pairs....

Going to assume they don't want the pandemonium that comes with those types of releases to affect this release. This way the entire release is controlled and still provides a substantial amount of money to the cause.
I for one will be happy they do this again. Rather the pockets of the fund be lined, than that of most of the people in this thread that don't care for the shoes and just see money signs.
Have to say, bit of a slap in the face to 2011 owners. Wonder what they do for them.

I always get frustrated when people assume a shoe should be priced around the amount it costs to make them. Never think about the years of research, designers, engineers that have to get paid for through the sale of the shoes as well. It's not just materials there is a lot more to it than that.
I know this to be true because I'm a development engineer
These just as much as an electronic as it is a shoe. Between the rights for the patent and the R&D to actually come up with the technology, I doubt Nike is even making money on these shoes.

They are gonna be Auctioned off doubled from '11. Just look how MSRP has risen every Year/Holiday season, and re-sell purchases
people are buying at. So NO way these will start Auction out under $5K but... They could start the Auction bids at $2,015K

Only get to write off 1K. MSRP as stated in terms in 2011.
Id wager they stick to that MSRP though

1-4k median imo, May go higher because of the hype its gotten since 2011.

implied? to me thats not implied. if they weren't auctioned in 2011, would you still think thats implied? i understand the monetary advantage of an auction but i think a lot more have been made and will be some kind of release, with a percentage going to Mike Fox's charity...

I heard RUMORS of 500 pairs worldwide.

Think about it, the molds the power lacing system and the lights..... Then you have to train ppl to make them and who knows how many pairs they screw up in the process. Because unlike regular nikes Beaverton actually care about these.... Then look at all the material on them, I can see where it starts to add up

Happens a lot faster and easier than you think. We're pretty good at engineering these days.
Deciding whether they really wanna do it and spend the money & time it takes to actually produce a product thats not made to bring NIKE a ton of money is another story.
