NIKE AIR MAG 2015

[poochie boy]

 
but where in that letter does it state an auction?? jus cause Tinker said for chairty doesnt mean auction. DBs drop on NDC every year. thats a charity...

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....

 

[downyboy]

If they REALLY wanted to help the cause

Why not just make Christmas Jordan 11 numbers

And charge $500 a pop

Because these are not cheap shoes to produce......

Not saying ur wrong
But u don't even know that to be true
Shoes are normally made for pennies

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 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. 

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.

Long time lurker, first time poster.





I am simply posting to kindly ask you (AirSakuragi) to please SHUTTFU.  I have read pretty much this entire thread and Jesus Christ your posts are annoying.

You are derailing this thread with nonsense. This thread is not about you and your views on the morality of reselling.  Please contribute to this discussion or be gone with you. 





And hello everybody else. Whats up?

I wish I had that clapping .gif

Brilliant first post.

Not a chance. Double at least.

Average last time was 3.7k and sneaker hype since then has gone bananas

And sneaker hypes died a lot too.

 

[ozuna23]

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

 

[ceeceesinger]

Nikestore's mentions has me

 

[hozer]

If you guys think these will be 8k median then i bow out. I can do 4k easily but 8 is ehhh. Tax write offs though  

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.

its implied.

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...

 

[goldenchildgs]

Supposedly very limited based on overseas releases that already happened.

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

 

[nawghtyhare]

Pennies, no. Theyre made at about 40-50% of their retail price

No they're sold at bulk to retailers at that price
But Cost single digit dollars to make

 

[Leonard Washington]

10 racks minimum, every B thru Z level gramlebrity gonna want these to stunt like their stupid "hover" skateboards

 this thread reminds me how many stupid people there are out there.

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.

[goldenchildgs]

Crazy how that letter just made this thread come to a stand still, where are the ppl who earlier loved the movie and shoes ?

Well you are certainly keeping this thread alive by repeatedly posting about how its dead now. Seems productive to me.
