QFT, I'll take it off. But I doubt they put the logo on. I want the blue based pair if they release.

All special edition/holidayI.E XMas/BHM/All-star shoes have $10-$20 mark-up this year and last... let's not act like this is new people...
Let's not complain over $10 either.. especially to the ones that know they are gonna cop regardless.. who are you fooling?

i agree.
problem i think is the people who are there at nike making these calls, are not the people who were there before the maddness.
we live in a day and age when MAJORITY of whatever sells out on release days goes to the reseller market at consumer level
in this day and age it is no longer about standing for anything/having or caring about morals/building up a certain consumer identity, but rather making that bottom line look incredibly good at coporate level

Xmas actually weren't a mark up. That started with the BHM. And as far as I can remember the only other mark up that's happened has been all star releases, and it was $5-$10. Let's not try to retroactively change history. Selective price hiking is a new (although not totally unexpected given the secondary market) development.

We all know why a game worn Kobe, worn by Kobe himself has more value. But now a days these kid's wear a shoe once and think that because their sweaty foot was in the shoe its now worth more? But not just a few bucks over retail but $400?? And we're starting to see this crap more often. i'm not trying to be the guy that looks down on the kids that are just now getting into this whole shoe thing because everyone has to start somewhere. In my opinion people need to understand what I think should be rule #1 . Buy what you like. Not what you think is hot, not what's popular at school not what you saw some celebrity wear on tv..... buy what YOU like. I've always been into the futuristic stuff so when foams first came out I loved em. When I got my first pair ( White/Black Foam Pro's) I was ridiculed cause many taught they looked funny or ugly etc. But i loved em so i didnt care. Same thing for the Flightposite 3's. My bro and cousin taught they were hidious. But I loved em. These kids out here just renting shoes. Buying em, wearing em once and posting pictures of them then flipping em for whatevers hot on the street....
End of ran.
Back to these Kobe 8's that we all love.
Oh ya and GO Lakers

$5 is still a mark up lol
Xmas was $150.. that's what my receipt said.. I know supposedly Nike changed the price last minute and said you could go to the store and get your $10.. but the store were I purchased didn't acknowledge it.. so it stayed $150
