The 04 Olympic VII retro fit terribly. I still vividly remember the day they dropped. It was my sisters engagement party and me and my boy went to scoop. We had to return to the mall three times because of sizing problems. An 11.5 way to tight and a 12 way to big? How does that happen? And on three different pairs for two people with different size feet (my boy wears a 10 and 10 and 10.5 were both seriously off). As for the First crop of Jordan XIII retros I wasn't really impressed. People say their great quality but that's in comparison to now which doesn't say much. The flint xiii in particular had some nasty glue that was prone to bursting out of every seam of the midsole, all of them had a super long tongue and the comfort was not even close to the OG. In particular I found the first altitude green XIII to have minimal cushioning.

as long as leather's clean and midsole doesn't chip (smh at thunder 4's) i'm sold.
i previously stated that i would pay more for better quality. gonna wait to hold a pair so i can determine if this is bs or not.

They better be higher quality because I feel like the price increase will be pretty decent. Then when you look at the resell market after striking out...it'll be too high.

So what I'm getting is jb is taking a note from what nike does with the Air Force one
And has different price points for their gr, premium, and supreme versions

I have no clue. I don't think they'll be 300 here in the US but that gives you an idea of how they really are bringing the prices up a lot

A lot of complaints about quality control, which isn't what JB is saying they're improving.
My 04's fit fine as TTS
Yeah, My 04 Olympics are fine and superior to the FTLOG's which were better than the 2012.
Actually less B-grades hit outlets now. It seems like JB has lessened their quality standards, because people are going to buy them anyway and THEN complain. Those kicks hitting outlets aren't b grades. They're still charging $149, which gives Nike a higher profit margin than from FNL or FTL.

Jordan's cost more overseas, you guys aren't that smart huh
nobody thought to check how much Jordan's cost in British Pounds now compared to what they cost over here, they're probably 250 over there already

Jordan himself said he wants the brand to become a luxury one, so expect $400 sneakers in two years and $500 in four. I'm sure he and Nike don't enjoy having people shoot each other at releases, it makes the brand and company look bad.

That's why I said I don't see them costing 300 over here in the US...I just said that shows how they're just bringing the prices up a good amount.

They cost 135 pounds overseas, so a 50 pound increase is equivalent to 85.77 US dollars. Once again I'm not saying that's how much they're going to increase in the US...just giving an idea of how prices are going to rise up

I'm sure that statement is taken dangerously out of context

Next year the retro's will be near $200, what's another $100 price bump the year after? They know people will pay and they will. The higher the price the lower amount of less than desirable customers wearing your brand.
