But if they price them based on what they are really worth, they will make more money (more is always better as far as business profits go). But the main point is, by pricing them higher I could easily go into a retail store a few days after release and pick up a pair. I wouldn't have to fight with violent crowds, spend a couple hours in the middle of the night trying to get through online, or have to deal with ebay resellers. That is what I want, put the people who just buy these to resell out of business.
And people can whine all they want, but very few people actually care about the quality. If a lot of people really cared, these wouldn't sell very well
im lost.... who is to say what they are worth? a few people sell em for 270 . all of a sudden thats what they are worth? just like these douche bags on craigslist... "buy from me or go to flight club and pay xyz" who the hell says that flight club's prices are the gospel?

Im sure they are doing just fine as far as profit margins...General release completely cleared out in a matter of weeks. No other non-premium brand can pull that off I think. If you price to high then they catch more flack not being available to the fans/customers that want them...plus we would be really scrutinizing the quality of the shoes/materials...Hell we already do when we pay regular retail.
The sad thing is half these beasts would pay that if they seen their favorite lame celebrity wearing it. You see the same heads here on NT beasting for every limited or hyped release and crying about them, and for the non limited you don't hear a word from them. Sad what has happened.

Just price them based on how much they're worth to maximize profit and we won't have all this craziness
Easily one of the stupidest things I have ever read on NT in 10+ years.

I see what you mean...but that would be tough...Cements, Concords...price high...um...Royal and Chi Xs? if they misprice, nothing sells.
Besides, that still happens. If you don't mind paying a higher price then there are plenty of websites that mark up the price based on the hype...and there is always resellers. Nike then doesnt have to take the risk and can still sell out on product and let then us (collectors and hypebeasts) set the market. Nike doesnt mind resellers...it adds to the legend/demand of the shoe.
Disney does the same thing putting out classic movies on DVD for short amounts of time...way of creating a false demand. Only certain companies can pull that off. If Nike really wanted to maximize profits they produce another batch of Concords 6 months....but then we wouldnt want them so bad would we?
I say all this as I sit here snacking on some damn $5 Girl Scout Cookies that I can only get once a year...

I think this happened to a lot of people. It happened to me and a few of my friends trying to get them off of ndcOriginally Posted by babyJs23
I had two pairs in my cart, got all the way to the order confirmation page then the page went blank just before I could copy down the confirmation number
Called Nike right after and they said "no order appears for your account" but I got an email the next day saying I still have items in my cart. Nike called and said they are sorry for the inconvenience and could only take in feedback about the situation. Oh well.

Can anybody who's NDC order got cancelled (or partially cancelled) confirm that they received a $50 gift card from Nike as an apology? Or is that story false?

yes, that is ridiculous. cause then reseller prices would be 500 instead of 300
