Losing Kobe is surreal. Add his daughter’s death to that, at such a young age makes it even worse. It is in bad taste to raise prices on Kobe’s shoes after his death. But it is also in bad taste to complain about these prices going up after his death when you had a chance to purchase them on the low a few days ago and didn’t. if you really wanted the shoes before his death you would have bought them, but now he’s dead you want them. Complaining about not getting a dead man‘s shoes under retail is as bad as raising prices.

way to take all of us, lump us all together, claim to know our pockets or priorities, and then go on to try to guilt trip us. This is one of the most ignorant statements I’ve seen.

I understand budgeting and priorities. I started buying the retro Jordan’s back in 1999 because my parents wouldn‘t buy them for me when I was growing up. Didn’t wear cheap shoes had Nike’s but Jordan’s were too much. The only Jordans my parents bought me were the 1’s, not good selllers at that time low price and the 5’s, confirmation present. I’m older now and have my own business and do well, but with a wife, 2 kids, bills, retirement, and putting away for kids college you have to manage your money. I understand waiting on codes and coupons too, but to complain about a shoe on StockX being $87 one day then going to $700 the next is absurd. Could’ve had it cheap as can be, but had to try and get a shoe lower when the demand is down and now complaining when someone is trying to get more money when the demand is up is hypocritical. YOU don’t know that mans life and what that money means to him or his family. Lowballing people or overcharging people. Seems the same to me.
As for Nike. No more "AD" stuff, no new models. Kobe actually had his hand in that, a passion project. Just nix that stuff.
I say continue to release the 1-11, hyperdunks, and other models the man himself wore. It's already a legendary line that will hold up extremely well over time.
The power of TMZ and mainstream media is HEAVY.
