How much was the original "Thunder IV" Pack? The one with the jacket? Wasn't that an online exclusive and something like $400-$500? For one pair and a jacket!

Like I mentioned just a bit ago, you're really jumping to conclusions when you ignore what the model currently is. The last two packs have been the infrared and GMP. Neither was much over retail for 2 standalone releases. If there's a pack released this year, you're talking a fairly modest jump from the pricing of the GMP's last year ($175 a shoe). I could see $180. However, to think there will be a $600, 2 shoe pack is a drastic jump that falls way outside the current retro pricing model, in which everything retails for $200 or less. It makes way more sense to gradually increase the prices by $5-$20 a year in order to maintain loyalty rather than piss off your target market by a 50% increase in price. Jordan Brand is trying to reach a large market right now that wants their product, and (truly) limited high price releases are clearly not part of that strategy. That's what companies targeting a niche do, and with sales this strong (stronger than they have ever been), it makes no sense to employ that contradictory sales strategy. That's why I feel your outlook is completely alarmist, without merit and flying in the face of all facts and logic.
$250 for the Original Lightnings with the T-Shirt and $500 for the Original Thunders with the Jacket. $600 doesn't seem like a crazy new idea anymore...

Yeah, your logic is brilliant bro. You wouldn't drop $600 for 3 shoes at once, but you would on 3 weekends in a row? Like I said, this would make it way easier on everyone to do a 3-shoe release for Black Friday rather than dropping 3 separate shoes over 3 weekends prior to Christmas. You haven't made a lick of sense in here, so keep it moving
$120/pair? lolI was chilling at home looking at my kicks, after my souce gave me the info, and an idea came to mind..... We didnt get the Columbias and my JB source says we wont get them this year... I could see JB dropping a pack with CGs, Breds, Concords, Spacejams, and Columbias..... Would you pay $600 plus tax for that?

And THIS is why many (myself included) are on their way on to retirement. $600 effin' dollars?!
Time to get out, this hobby's no fun anymore, and there ain't no shoe out there that can pull me back. I've learned to live with the Jumpman...bringing back Nike Air you say? Too little too late.
Waiting for someone to post a lame ducktales gif
If there's an actual pack, I'll wait for outlets...lol.
J/K, I wouldn't support this madness in any way.
