Those that want them shouldn't have an issue getting them on SNKRS tomorrow.
Gonna grab a pair and see if I can get a discount down the line.

Got mine easily on SNKRS this morning as well. I absolutely love the IX High Elites and also love that most folks hate them now. Makes it easier to get them for retail or below. That definitely wasn't the case when some of the IX Elite Highs originally released.

Oh, I know that not all of the OGs sold out right away, but some did and I wasn't going to pay the resale prices back then on the ones I missed out on 10 years ago. I'm just happy that now I don't have to jump through hoops to get these things now.a lot of those elite highs were hated back then too

I’m convinced price, to a certain extent, does not matter. We live in difficult financial times but people have proven that going into debt is no big deal (crazy to me). To me it’s just the timing. The most popular shoes across serval brands is 130-40 bucks, and the current trend is retro running shoes.
I’ll add to this too, the whole gimmick of “ohh these are rare and hard to get” is done. The masses don’t care to play those games. Even if Nike doesn’t make it hard to buy something their selling tactics are synonyms with wasting time lol.

Most collectors have dozens and dozens of shoes at least. If you wait it out, the prices always come down because people sell shoes they bought but never wear to fund the next retro pickup. To top it off, Kobe reps from factories like Godkiller are so close it makes one question buying off StockX or GOAT when workers have to quickly inspect at low pay and high volume. I believe this has also brought prices down across the board.

Everything is cyclic, be it Uptowns, sambas, dunks, Jordan 1's...
Popular means little in the social media age, because people move on just as fast as they started.
When people complain about Nike's tactics, I can tell they don't actually buy other brands. They just use them as some sort of example. Go to New Balance's website on a release date with that dumb *** in line countdown. What in demand New Balance, Asics, Saucony is easy to get? Nike has a thousand different models to choose from.

From my perspective too, Kobe’s have always been a basketball only shoe. They look good but do not have casual appeal TO ME. That said, the tech is beyond dated and the “protro” stance is out the window. For the price, Nike offers many shoes for less with better tech.
That said, for me, unless these hit below retail I really have no use for them. The MP was HARD to skip over but something tells me that down the line they’ll be on eBay for dirt cheap
And of course before someone say “why is this baddd?!??????”, it’s not.
