People complaining about $225 just to justify not buying them. If you don't like em you just don't like em. Beethovens were 25 bucks less and people were all over them. 25 measly bucks. If 25 bucks is a lot of money for you, maybe you shouldn't be buying $200 sneakers in the first place. Majority of people aren't balling in there beethovens so these being exts shouldn't matter. Most buy kicks to wear casually. If you just don't like em enough to pay $225 then that's that but don't say they not worth $225. In that case beethovens ain't worth $200. Both of them are made for way less. People paying 400+ for MPs. Are they worth 400, hell no not in my eyes. Only worth box price to me. A shoe is only worth what you are willing to pay. I'm willing to pay 225 for exts cuz they are my style. Dudes dropping 600+ on what the lebron colorful *** shoes because that's they're style.

Or maybe they think $225 is too much for that shoe?

People always complaining to justify themselves liking something that others don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

how is the sizing? do they really fit like the highs??

 

[r23j]

For me they were a little hard to get on but had PLENTY of room especially around the midfoot. Similar to the highs.

I had to go a 1/2 size down on the Beethovens and its crazy the difference between that and these.

Look sleek on feet.

True

But none of these shoes are worth the $100 and up we spend on them.

I think these ext look amazing in picture so far and from a quality stand point.Wish I could see them in person to know 100%.

Yea the prelude 1 was A1 quality.I was quite shocked at the quality especially for todays nike's standards.

25 dollars in its self isn't the issue. It's 25 on top of 200 that's the issue. If you ever look at a supply and demand chart you can see exactly why it is.

I would love to see more pictures, if it's not too much trouble.

How's the leather?  Soft, flexible? Or is it JB leather that "thwacks" like plastic when you tap it?

These EXT joints are not even worth $80 bucks to me...just my opinion. Tbh I have a hard time paying $200 + for a shoe. (Purchased AsG and Mc low) I know it doesn't make sense. The struggle is real. Lol

 

[had pants]

Beethovens delivered today.

HAHA..SMH..Im getting a kick outta people wunderin if they can play b-ball with the Kobe 9 EXTs?..lol...cmon kids SMH..those EXTs have the EXACT same midsole/bottom soles as all the Kobe 9s that weve seen so far. just cause they have an upper leather and Nike put the "EXT" label on them doesnt mean there no good for b-ball. ... believe it or not you young kids out there, lol... Basketball shoes when i was growing up 80s-90s were entirely made of Leather, awww the good ol dayz! so dont let the "EXT" label fool ya! YES YOU CAN BALL IN THE EXTs! lol

295 size 8.5 shipped for Beethovens good deal? Should I pull the trigger on these, eBay they running for 350+ shipping. BTW in Canada so they are especially harder to find. Thanks for the advice.

 

[vinsanity]

Paid 8 bucks more than I would have if I purchased off NDC.

So $225 plus ur NY tax and shipping which was what total??

They charged me 252. Would have paid 244 plus change after tax from NDC. My girl used my 20% coupon for her 2 nike tech sweatsuits so I said why not. Would have got em on NDC instead if I had my 20%

Do you want them that badly? Are they worth that to you? Yeah? Buy them.


From a purely analytical view...that's about the average BIN price on eBay.
