Kobe IX's are the same price and have the flyknit upper but don't have the flight plate tech. If you'll pay 225 for Kobe's you'll pay $225 for J's.
Not to mention all the lab series has been priced at $225......its not that surprising.
Nike updated their release calendar to these dropping on a Monday......can't be right.
