I think people didnt want to beleive the price. $200 was a shock in 2002, $250 is a shock in 2016

It's still a shocker every time I see it. JB trying to bone consumers on the 17+. I'm sure the quality isn't anything special.
I hope people hold off and they hit discounts.

It's not about quality. It's about the appeal and power of the Nike/Jordan brand. All of their clothing is overpriced too. You gotta drop $170-180 for a set of their premier tennis shirt/shorts. You can't compare their pricing on a quality basis. Think of Nike like apple. What they charge for hardware is ridiculous given what they charge for older tech on all of their base MacBooks all the way up to $2k.

I was referring to the small tab with Jordan under the lace cover. Looks much better IMO than that big ugly Jordan symbol tab.

The $250 price tag makes sense. With NA remasters going for $220 and other retros ranging from $130-$190, its obvious that Nike is realizing raising price tags won't dramatically reduce sales, so why not do it? Having XVII's at $250 is keeping with the theme, they aren't going to retro something for the original price tag anymore.
While $250 is steep, I always liked these. To be honest, I wanted every color of the XVII when they came out but being that I was like 11 or 12, and I couldn't afford to pay for kicks on my own, I only had the Carolina lows. I see myself buying every OG colorway that comes out just because of the nostalgia factor.
Coppers will be had and I'm curious to see what this black/red colorway looks like.

Yes it was. But I wanted the white/red's regardless of the price point. Luckily I found them on clearance Summer 03 while I was working @ Cedar Point
If they retro these again, I could definitely use another pair. These are one of my top 5 favorite Js.

i think the main reason i dont like them is becaue they could have easily been a team J, nothing really crazy special about them

I have to disagree with that. Team Jordan had their own unique look that looked nothing like the sigs. These actually took different aspects from the regular 17, and almost looks identical in some spots.
