I think that's part of the problem. They thought they got it right last time with the first 85 release, and they definitely think they did it this time.
If they make the box Gucci/Designer quality, include a nice card, bring back real show trees, include a nice shoe insert and use higher quality leather along with an accurate mold (which we all know is impossible for Nike to do smh)…then charge your $250. No need to call them 85s, Retro Highs, etc. and make them attainable. Or do pre orders.
 
It’s a joke

They just don’t care to replicate it 100% because then they wouldn’t have anything to do 20 years down the line

Gucci box is literally card board :lol:

I don’t care about the box, give me an accurate shoe, not limited and let me buy it

Don’t care about anything else whether I wear them or not
 
I was in from the get go… why they gotta make em so hard to get? I freaking hate hate how JB hyping they shiiiii up I sweater gawd 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
 
Not gonna lie, I was planning on paying resale for a pair no matter what a 10.5 was going for , just to have in my collection. But seeing how Nike/JB practically dumped on us with no SNKRS release even after they’re promoting it on the app, It’s an easy pass. I’m not giving them the satisfaction of contributing to this manufactured hype BS.
 
There’s nothing special about the packaging. And they’re charging $70 more and limiting pairs.
This is as close to 1:1 as we've ever gotten. JB has gotten a lot of flack for price increases but ultimately the increased costs is funding the R&D on the shoes to get the models as close to OG as they can. A lot of time and effort went into trying to recreate a 40 year old shoe. It's bs that the made them limited but I understand the price increase on these. The more we give to JB, the more they give to us.

A development cost doesn’t have to be recouped in one shoe release.

They, in their estimation, have created an almost historical accurate recreation. It’s not like they only make one retro one for the year. This process can be applied to EVERY retro one they release going forward. And we, especially on this forum, have given Nike plenty. No one treats their customers quite like Nike. Most of the comments have been negative on this forum. Besides seeders and retailers, no one is glowing about the situation despite how good they’ve done in recreating them 80%.
