Lmao @ calling a $150 shoe a "poor man's" anything.

Lol word. These SE are nice imo.

 

[mrah]

Anyone got any links to below retail xx8 cements?

 

[anthracite8s]

lol @ 150 being poor man's

 . whoever said that is probably one of those kids that thinks it's somehow cool to drop 225 on a shoe.. news flash, it isn't.

not a kid

just comparing it to the $250 price

i don't drop anything to be cool

 

[auskicks]

I had to pay $240 for mine as they didnt come out here. Bow down....

only YOU can decide what a shoe is worth to YOU

pay what you want, to get what you want

do what you got to do

everyone has diff tastes

as my grandma used to say... 

THATS WHY THEY MAKE DIFF FLAVORS OF ICE CREAM

but please don't TELL someone HOW to spend THEIR money

This should be known by everyone at this point!

you are correct but appears it isn't after reading many of these comments

glad you got it

I get you and I say this to anyone about spending. Unless you are their mom/dad why care for how a person spends the money they have? It's nice to show people "care" about one another but they can't dictate how others spend their cash

False. That's why they have financial advisors.

I guess your grandma forgot to tell you about a famous quote "A fool and his money are soon parted"

The SE is basically the XX8 without the shroud. Cushion, fit, etc. You're paying $100 dollars more just for shroud in the XX8.

Had JB release these in solid color like the black that we've seen or an all white version. I'm confident they would sell out at $150

thoughts on the hundred dollar "shrouds" stitched at the back??

 I honestly think this price point was set when we thought these would have Nike+ in them and they just decided to see if they could still get away with it

 

[fuzon]

Well it is the schoeller mesh and I looked up the company they make pretty high end stuff. The fact it's on a jordan is dope ..this is probably the best shrouded shoe to date ...worth every penny IMO

 

[anthracite8s]

what does it do? a while back everyone said the shroud does nothing

 

[fuzon]

Not much haha it's suppose to wick sweat away from a target area but it doesn't work in this application overall I think it improves the fit and it looks cool I have always liked zipper shoes...and don't ever have to worry about laces getting untied

 

[jsonmyfeetz]

When it's zipped halfway the containment gets better. Fully zipped is even better but not necessary. And the shroud actually costs Nike 100 yd or sq.ft (can't remember exactly) so I'm sure thats why they have the higher price tag and the SE is less.

 

[dr damon]

The pricepoint of $250 included the nike + system. The original product description clearly stated this That part was scrapped but they kept the pricepoint the same to see if they could get away with it and set the internet hype machine in motion and seems like it worked The shroud is not worth $100 dollars guys.

 

[fuzon]

Nothing you buy worth the dollar amount being paid.....that being said nike plus hurts my feet like hell I'm glad they did not include it

got my first pair of xx8 for a steal on ebay. They are in the mail im genuinely excited for them. Gotta love when people forget to put jordan in the title or be discriptive at all.
