$250? Where are people getting this price point from? Nike had to lower their price on signature shoes because everything was sitting and hitting outlets. Ain't no way these are $250. These aren't soccer shoes.

There is no way I can see these retailing for more than $180-$200. When Nike tried that before ($250-$275), it didn't go over well at all. And that was at a time when Nike was throwing any trash out there and it was selling out (online). People were using bots to cop neon orange snow-chukkas and trying to resell them, and some were paying $$$ resale for Roshe Calypsos. Nike is on a hype-binge again, but I don't think it's the same as it was back in 2014ish. If they price this in that $220 range again, they're going to sit.

Lol of course not. GR's don't sell out anymore. That boom period of 2011-2014 is long gone.

$200 is pretty steep but it’s not bad when Jordan retros are same price with outdated tech. Not paying resale though.

Retail doesn’t matter. Never planned to pay that anyways.

Nike built the hype well so $200 will still sell out

Kobe 11 'What The' was $275. Remember that well. Those and Lebrons got out of hand at that point. Nike had been pushing the envelope, and that was too far. They've been cheaper since. Now $200 is starting to tick back up again.

There was no Kobe 11 “What The”. The last WTK was the Kobe X and that retailed for 260. The Kobe 9 WTK retailed for 275.

I'm sorry. I meant Kobe 9 'what the.' When it was first posted to sneaker sites, it was listed at $225. When it released, it was $275. They sat.

$275
Story: At that time, there was still some serious hype around Kobes in my area. There had even been lines for hrs for the Beets. My local store did raffle for the 'What The' 9. When people showed up and found out they were $275, they were literally like 'WTF', and didn't buy them.
