Yea, but what will that do to the current resellers?  I'm thinking Nike is using these towards getting back at the resellers.  Bravo Nike.


If Nike wanted to get back at resellers, they wouldnt produce limited amounts on the most wanted sneakers.  They over produce the crappy ones but limit the good stuff.

So what WE the consumer needs to do is BOYCOTT that s h i t and not purchase no matter how tempting the color-ways are 
WE MUST FIGHT TEMPTATION BROTHERS AND SISTERS FIGHT!!!

WHEN IT RISES UP IN FRONT OF YOU KICK IT IN THE FACE!!!


 
Guys are dropping $400 to $1000 for the limited 'Brons that did release. How long did you guys think it would be before Nike wanted a piece of the pie?

$250 is on par with the Foamposites though - be thankful Nike themselves aren't charging you $400 to $1000.
 
i would def prefer dropping 250 on a soccer cleat than these.... or on any Bball shoe for that matter.



unless its a Kobe/retro/jordan shoe

i think that $250 is typo mistake.....no way that a lebron shoe will surpass $200.......

i believe it should be $150.......

I should be thankful theyre not charging? My friend, I believe you have it backwards. We are NOT obligated to buy anything.
If we all obstained from buying these kicks nike would be stuck with product. And we would have more $. We the consumer keep nike alive. They need us, not vice versa.
Nike better not start charging $250. Cuz if that's retail, im not coppin.

That better be the case because if they're GR Nike can keep these.

Why though?  If you will buy a shoe because you like it why not buy it either way?  If its a hot shoe at $160  its hot at $175 $200 and $250 right?
its just if you are willing to pay the price.

@ the same people who justify buying and selling SBs complaining about the price....I'm kinda glad its happening. Just as in every other aspect of life, the mistakes of a few determine the verdict for the majority. You guys always say "Nike is watching...Nike is listening to us." Yea, Nike was watching you guys pay 2, 3, and 400% over retail for shoes that they sell for 130-150 and said "We're letting some real bread slip through our hands."

THIS!!!
 
Nike knows what's going to sell at what price point and to what demographic. That being said, I don't get the mindset behind the 250 dollar price tag. At that price point the only people I can see buying is people on shoe forums or trend riders. Example Nike Air Force 180 Pump won't retro because it would be in the 400 dollar rage and they know the only sales they would get would be old heads that been with them from the start. Maybe their target demographic is us? But then that would limit their profit. I honestly don't get it.
 
I'm just excited to at least see how the Elite series shoes will look like.
The fact that basketball shoes are even getting this expensive says a lot about the gap between the popularity of basketball and soccer/futbol in the world getting a little smaller.

I meant a majority of people will buy them, you know jump on the bandwagon. My simple +!# will probably cop, even though I passed on the 8 v3 (just didn't like them)
