Exactly and I understand it's their flagship model and if it were priced similarly to a shoe like the KD it wouldn't look as important or as good especially when Lebrons would still be going for $200. But damn $225 is so overkill. Same thing with Kobe's. Slash both shoes down to $150 and I'll cop a pair. I can tell by the way they feel that they would be egregiously comfortable. I'll just wait until summer and head down to the AC outlets and scoop a pair for what will probably be $150ish.
It's honestly just the price with these XX9's. I love the model and a couple of the colorways, but even with the discounts and price cuts it's just too much for a pair.

most are sitting so i'm waiting on salesI don´t know if this is news to you guys or not, but Eastbay´s 20% off deal today works on the XX9´s. I was pretty pumped, but now I have strong temptations to deal with lol. Price is still high, but down to @$188.00!
yeah, I'm gonna wait it out, too. Too many other pairs I want at the moment.most are sitting so i'm waiting on sales
the forefoot takes a getting use to. not as bouncy, but you can still feel it once you start running in them.
Finally picked up my first pair of XX9s
Originally wanted the team orange colorway but I slept on those too long and missed the restock on ndc last week so I got the blackouts like a day before @airsully23 posted that 20% off code.. but I can't wait to try them out. The flight weave upper is dope. This is how I thought the Kobe 9 elite was gonna be but i guess the flyknit alone isn't strong enough for the rigors of basketball. Even this flight weave material has the potential to rip from the YouTube videos I've seen, but it still seems a lot stronger than just flyknit. After trying these on and walking around, the heel to toe transition feels really smooth and the lack of heel zoom doesn't bother me personally. It feels like the phylon in the heel is softer than normal. But for anyone who had the xx8s was the forefoot zoom more responsive than the xx9s forefoot zoom? I feel like I can barely feel the zoom on these.
definitely the most comfortable J's I own
How comfortable are these? I've felt the upper material and it's feels so soft.
I hope notPic from @aaronknows. BREDS XX9.
