That’s ridiculous…And people are about to jump through hoops for some low top galaxy Foams too…Whoever is behind this ~new~ Foamposite build, on the Pro’s in particular, should be ashamed of themselves…

How they Flight 89'd Foams?

It’s gotta be a cost cutting measure. 97s adjusted for inflation would be $350 today and 2010s adjusted for inflation would be $290 today. Obviously, inflation doesn’t hit every material or product at the same rate, but it’s clear Nike wouldn’t have the same profitability selling OG mold and materials for $230 today. I would personally be willing to pay $300-350 once every few years if they nailed it, but that’s just not Nike’s business model now. And every release would turn into the 17 lows if that happened. Unfortunately, we’re either going to get bad takedowns of classics or not get them at all.

For the inflation cost convo does it apply when Nike’s initial cost included all the R&D and manufacturing to get the shoes produced? The retros shouldn’t be close to the inflated anyway because so much of the work to create the shoes have already been built and designed. If anything wouldn’t things be cheaper? Even if Nike made them like the OGs part of the cost would likely be how much hype/demand would justify the price. It’s why other Nike retros don’t get near the JB retros despite there being overlap between tech and materials used
I’m no economist or product planner so I have no idea.

Nah, c'mon man. Ain't no excuse for this all the money Nike bringing in. This is literally false advertising.

I am not making any excuses for Nike, I'm just presenting the situation to whoever has a 2010 pair that is debating splurging on a 2024 pair like I did.

For the record, I actually settled on a 10.5 for the 2024 Royals. As for the coppers:

Nike is doing a trash job across the board on a lot of basketball retro's right now.

Maybe it's as simple as the product manager forgot to count that second bump; s/he sees the samples and is like "oops, oh well"....SMDH.

Wait so you wear 11.5, 11, and 10.5 in foams???

Usually 10.5-11 (2008-2012 run and 2015 to today run) but for whatever reason that 2017 Royal ran extra small to me.
