For Nike to do anything but a mass GR is just totally dumb. Everyone wants these shoes. It has nothing to do with being a sneaker head or owning a bunch of other Nikes. People who don't even wear sneakers and laugh at us in or over priced running/hoop/cross training shoes will want these. 2 main reasons....
1) The loyal fans of this trilogy will be crazy for anything (especially something official) that has to do with that second movie.
2) Many people (myself included) feel that we should be far more advanced than we actually are at this point (and it probably has a lot to do with this movie and others like it). We already have the TVs and the picture frames, but other than that, that flick left us in the dust. I'm not saying that I expect flying cars and hover boards, but we marvel too much over our phones. Out side of that, we haven't advanced that much since 1990. Kids are still wanting shoes that I've had since 95'. Makes me feel like we're in the stone age. C'mon, Nike!!!!!
So why limit it, or auction the release? They can charge whatever the hell they want for the shoes as a GR anyway. I was already guessing 700$+ range anyway (for people saying "no one will pay that." Just shut up. Somehow you missed the last decade or so). If they can get 250+ tax for kicks that came out '98, they can do whatever they want at this point. THIS WOULDN'T BE A HARDCORE SNEAKER FAN RELEASE ANYWAY. Some of those Speilberg movie fan boys will put the goons and hypebeast to shame on this one. Have you ever seen these Stars Wars and other sci-fi movie conventions? These dudes are crazy for real......
