If you live a less than average lifestyle I guess its too steep my bad. What I should of said was to the average person a $30 - $50 dollar mark up is not that much. The shoe will run you about $155.00 after taxes, the problem with people now a days is that they compare the price of a Jordan to other Jordans. Dont do that, if you have been buying sneakers for a long time you should have the state of mind that "okay I dont care what the box tag is this is how my bank account looks so on average im gonna give every pair of sneakers a price of $210.00 dollars" now this is your average price depending on how much you have allotted yourself to spend on shoes. It doesn't matter if they are 1s 2s 3s doesn't matter, if you have established that $210.00 is the average price you can spend on any pair of sneakers then you should have no problem paying over for them. My average is roughly $275, thats for any pair I dont care if I want the shoe I know I can spend that much on them hopefully I will get lucky and be able to pay retail however for older dudes like me that rarely happens, hopefully I can find a kid standing on line at finishline in the mall and give him $20 for his spot that happens a lot just because of the doubles and triples of the same pair I purchase. This is really basic stuff you should not be living check to check because of the new Jordans that come out on Saturday, you should have a basic price that you have given to yourself that meets your budget to spend on any pair of sneakers. So $40 $50 or even $60 bucks should not hurt you.
