Took them back and exchanged them ASAP
Did this happen from playing ball??! That would be the second case of toe separation if true.

That was the only grip nightwing2303 had about it. Why would this ever happen to a $250 shoe haha.Took them back and exchanged them ASAP

That's certainly plausible. I wouldn't doubt the slowly rising prices are a part of a greater profiting strategy.Read through that article, and still, the only plausible explanation I found would be either the increased use of what I would assume to be genuine carbon fiber, that "special" fabric for the shroud, or both.
Pretty sure that Swiss fabric has been used in past shoes before for a significantly lower price, so it has got to be the carbon fiber if anything that's causing this inflate price point. Technology's still pretty much the same, just the good ol' Zoom air, but this time around the chassis is designed to optimize Zoom's performance. Nothing too revolutionary IMO, but that opinion coming from me isn't really valid at this point as I've never even tried on the shoes.
I'd have to agree with you on that. Long story short, pretty sure it's just a business tactic to test how far they can get away with increasing the price while still maintaining demand.
Dwight is a damn nerd man.
pics of what happens in the rain today..water lays on top of the shroud.
To me it look like he was feeling the shoes and wanted to check them out but use the whole Adidas's Man thing as a cover.Dwight is a damn nerd man.
Can someone explain to me what is JB's justification for pricing the shoes at $250? No special brief case like the 17. The box is still cardboard, sure it comes with a baggie but so did previous signature models for a significantly lower price. It doesn't even seem like they're making the upper material of the shoe seem special (i.e. Nike marketing Foamposite tech). From all the pictures I've seen, it doesn't even look like the shoes have a sliver of leather on it. Is the Schoeller textile really that cutting-edge and functional to merit that price? Or is it the amount of carbon fiber used? I would expect these to at LEAST be Nike + ready for this price point.

Yea. I'm a pretty jerky ball player and cut a lot. However, for $270 after tax that's unacceptable. If the issue occurs again ill be sending them back to Nike for a voucher, which sucks cause these are the best basketball shoes I've ever worn.
no **** .. although i will be copping for streetwearMan, I'm scared as hell now. Smh.
