Man, it's gone a bit silly in here LOL. Ultimately, who knows where prices will settle in the long run. Going by prices right now for my mens sz11, I guess I overpaid by about $100 combined total for the two pairs I bought last week. I don't enjoy lighting dollars on fire, but I'm not gonna drive myself nuts over it, either. I wanted the shoes, I haven't bought a single three in nearly 20 years because of the crap versions they've become, and these look great to me. I didn't want to keep waiting and waiting. That's what makes them worth whatever someone paid, be it me or whoever. No sought after sneaker is "worth" anywhere near the prices people pay, if we're talking intrinsic value or quality. Sure, some collabs or whatever might be better quality than others in terms of materials and assembly--but they still aren't intrinsically worth the insane prices they command. Almost everything about being a sneaker fan is emotional, not rational. So I'm gonna just keep on being irrational and enjoying the hell out of whatever it is I end up buying, at whatever price I elected to pay. If these somehow drop to $300, oh well, you win some, you lose some. Now, if I had been someone who shelled out $700, $800 or even more for these a few weeks ago, THEN I'd be bent out of shape
