Jordan XI Legend Blue - December 14, 2024

the inflation argument is complete bull **** because prices for every shoe would be in the 200 plus range then if it was inflation.

we got nike, adidas, and reebok retros with better materials than retro jordans that release currently that are only 20 to 40 bucks higher than their original price.

they charge 220 for the jordan 3 but the jordan 11 is 230?

the jordan 5 and 12 are both 200

Shouldn’t be an argument at all because there’s a very simple fix. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. I only spend money when and where I want to spend it. I’ve never in my life blinked at the price of an Air Jordan because it’s something I always 100% wanted. Price is trivial.

A FNL Manager told me during my pickup “Bro I want this pair bad but that $250 is tough right now.” A lot of people feel this way which is why pairs are selling a bit slower than normal. Also not as many folks are doubling or tripling up even though they want to.

If that’s the case then the shoe just isn’t for you. Buy what you can afford. It’s simple.

If they were $200 with proper patent leather I’d double up.

For me it’s a double whammy if terrible material quality, and a price that doesn’t align. I have 3 pairs of redwing boots. They clad $250. Legit will last me forever and amazing leather. ****s lame.

You missed the point and are too ignorant to understand. You are the reason why the economics of the shoe industry are the way they are. Go ahead…you can have the last word.
Either you got the money or you don’t lol. Can you not understand that? There are way more shoes under $250 than there are over. Buy those. I wouldn’t care if they were $300+ if it’s something I really want I’m going to get them. I would never put a price limit on my own personal happiness. I was paying $250 back in high school over 20 years ago just to get Jordan’s early. The shoe economy is just fine. I own $20 shoes and I own $1000+ shoes. Buy what you can afford.

Will you please unbold your ****? "Strong" may be the truth but on the internet it's annoying as ****.

You don’t get why people would be frustrated with price increases on products they like?

You are right that the only way to create change in massive corporations taking advantage of us regular consumers is to speak with their wallets though and I hope enough people have been doing this with Nike/JB.

There are literally price increases on every single thing in life. The frustration comes from not making enough money to keep up with those increases. That’s not the responsibility of the companies trying to sell you things. Like anything else in life if you want something put in the work and go get it and stop blaming everyone else. No one is entitled to a pair of Jordan’s at a price they are comfortable with. No one is taking advantage of you or forcing you to buy. If you can’t afford set price then they’re just not for you. Move on. Refusing to buy would only help those of us that can afford them and I would honestly appreciate that. I can also guarantee one thing, no matter what you do the price is never dropping lol.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

You think you the only one gettin money? :lol
Getting money and valuing money over your happiness are two totally different things. I personally don’t value money so it’s nothing to me. There are plenty of rich, poor people. If you have to play rock, paper, scissors when it comes to buying $250 sneakers you can’t afford them. That doesn’t mean you don’t have the money for them. Keep up kid.

I still feel like price isn't the only factor when it comes to whether or not you pick up a Jordan release.
 
I can live with these at sub 150. In store pair had a better shape than my SD pair. IDK if factory has anything to do w it bc I didn’t check but my SD pair was almost built like Win Like 82 joints :lol
 
Went up to JD and footlocker and they still had pairs. Hopefully they chill a little longer and I can grab another pair on one of the apps for sub $200 next month.
