You need to realize a lot of the people who are complaining are the people who were collecting before the hype train pulled into the station. A lot of these new cats that just started are assuming these are the average prices since Nike is releasing Lebrons for $250.
2013 $250 for foams, 2010 $200
2013 $160 for retro 4s, 2006 $115
Nike is getting away with it because everything is selling out every weekend mostly to resellers. I blame social media for feeding this hype surrounding the brand after the Concords dropped. When the DMP's dropped in 2006 the hype for every shoe following that release was no where near the level it is today.
DBs where getting marked down at stores before the Concords in 2011 and now every release goes for half a grand from resellers.
