Are you talking about the same Jordans that come out like every other week now, and releases like half of his shoe line now in a little over 6 months, with cheaper and declining quality then his previous shoes, Jordan who's pushed ever pair of shoes up to $160 now (excluding most 1's) even the ones that use to be $120, $130, $140, and $150 are all the same price of $160 (is Jordan planning on putting the metal lace holders back on the 12's? NO!) now which makes absolutely no sense ($160 for some 3's
) and don't forget about those hideous 2012's
he put out for $223 which is only $27 less then the Elites. The cost of shoes now is just higher period! The VII Kobe Systems cost $170, the Yeezy II's $245, and the technology they use on the Foamposites is so old now, and if the "Foamposite" material was so "special" then the price on every shoe they put "Foamposite" on should be $220 then (nike has several other shoes that use Foamposite) but they only use that price on the Foamposite 1's because that's Nike new gimmick shoe. And far as resellers go Nike doesn't base their prices around what resellers will charge because people don't have to pay resell price if they do what they need to do to get the shoe for retail so why should Nike care? I mean seriously have you bought a pair of Jordan retros this year and put them up to a pair of Lebron 9's and did a quality check? If not how about you do that then ask why's the Lebron's higher.
