170?? It looks like these are getting that foamposite $50 dollar markup.
JM. Can you verify the zoom hasn't been gutted ?

Haha $170. That's amusing.
Even PE's wouldn't be worth that to me. They retail for $170, they'll be in outlets for less than half of that.
$170 could get you some top of the line balling shoes right now. Ultraflights were okay, but they aren't THAT great.

I'm ashamed to say it but i'd pay $170 for those GP PE's.

Haha, nothing wrong with that.
I'd pay a good amount more than normal for some PE's I was feeling.

I think I paid $170 combined for my pairs over a couple yrs time(ebay/ TX Nike Outlet in 04' had them for $29.99)
A no friles basic full grain leather upper made the shoe.. I didn't get one blister playing bball in these. i considered these the best Nike shoes ever. I did have to wear some high length socks, and ankle wrapped feet were a 2 minute struggle. but it was worth it

I was happy when I first saw samples of these few weeks back. But as soon as I saw the price tag I had to shake my head. I definitely want the shoe, but lets face it. These will sit on shelves, buyers are smart..

Yeah, these just aren't a shoe that really brings it back for most people. It doesn't have that nostalgic aura about it, and there wasn't really a marquee player (other than Payton and a few others maybe) that really blew it up in these.
They were just solid and innovative bball shoes at the time. $170 is crazy for shoes that were good ten years ago. As someone said, they would sit on shelves for $100.

Too bad they're gonna feel nothing like the OG's. Hopefully my heel fits in them this time around.

The type of sock had a lot to do with that.
That's why I had such a love/hate. Some days it was the best shoe ever, and other days it was straight crap that dug into my skin. It was always a roll of the dice when I played in them.

Jet Flights first.
Then drop some Zoom Drives in those Nash and Canada colorways.
Then end it with some Zoom BB lows.

That's why I cringe whenever someone drops that "Kobe changed the whole sneaker game!" line.Jet Flights and BB Lows were killing the game way before the Kobe line stole their thunder
I get that he was by far the biggest star to ever wear a low-top signature shoe. Of course.
But guys like Gil Arenas, Mike Bibby and Steve Nash were KILLING it in good low tops and there were guys before them too.

Damn I forgot about Bibby's lows
His XVII & XVIII were
Even MJ rocked the XVII lows for a lengthy time

I'm partial to his XII and XIII lows.
I've played in XII lows and didn't like them too much, but damn those shoes look good.
