Nike Dealer -

The box says $200, so obviously the decision to price the shoe at $225 was a last minute decision.

As much as I love the shoe, I'm glad people rejected the ridiculous price point. Last season, Nike's "big man" shoe was $160 (Air Max Hyperdunk). So this season the big man shoe jumped $65 in one year?!? I've been playing basketball in Nikes for 25 years and there had never ever been that kind of jump from one year to the next.

Many of us are loyal lifelong customers and finally getting fed up with the pricing. At $200, I would have probably bought three pairs of Hyperposites. When the price bumped to $225, I decided to wait for clearance and paid $135 each for my two pairs on Nike.com.

At one price point I would have been willing to spend $600. At the other price point, I ended up spending $270. So Nike ended up with a lot less of my money, not to mention one of the greatest shoes they've ever made completely flopped.

I realize that those of us that play basketball are a small percentage of the customer base at this point, but we should not be completely forgotten about. They are basketball shoes over all.

What the hell is the point of a teaser picture for a PE? We aren't getting that $* anyway, isn't that enough of a tease?

PE's hurt my feelings instead of my wallet

If the heat win maybe hyperposites will get some press and nike will drop some of the bosh pe's. wishful thinking.
