Nike/JB pushing limits
Haven't bought anything in awhile but I'm hoping Lil Wayne gets all of the hipsters to start wearing Supras again
Can't be real. I refuse to believe it.

Speak for yourself. I haven't paid more than $100 for an athletics/sportswear shoe in my life. Some of us don't like to be exploited.Some of you are such hypocrites.
$315 for LeBrons? "I'm done with Nike". $275 for Yeezys? "COPPED x2"
...Quit playin.

I see what ur saying BUT sometimes when i see people post things like people with ebt cards always buying jordans wasting the governments money and getting over and that kinda talk it just sounds like people arent educated on the matter. And it just sounds like they group everybody together. And i tend to disagree with u that a good majority of people abuse the system. I know alot of people do but i think its a minority compared the people who actually dont abuse it. Also its not just lower income families that abuse the system. Ive seen people in mercedes and range rovers hold up the line at the grocery store to pay for milk and cereal with their WIC vouchers. Again i aint tryna get at u or start an argument it just seems like people are wuick to think the wors about the less fortunate and think that they are always tryna get over. Idk if wht im tryna say is really coming across im typing on my phone and have a lot to say but kinda dont feel like typing but i hope u get my point

let me think......
for 10 years or
for 10 wears.
It won't happen overnight, but this is the beginning of people saying "F Nike" (and what they care about, the loss of market share).

I cant even blame Nike they're what any great business would do. Dudes paying a ransom for Yeezy's, why not keep raising the prices for the products. I paid 330 for my Concords and thats the last time I'll spend that much on some sneakers. Nike can eat a ****.

On second thought...that game was WAY too close if you ask me.

Even though people will still buy because Nike has the premier athletes and best designs for athletic apparel/sneakers. Their sales dropped because of the ridiculous pricing. At the same time the time and effort Nike puts into makin' their creations should be noticed for the craftsmanship. Also the technology they put into the sneakers are incredible.
I see why Nike would up the price, in the end.

You're really comparing a pair of dress shoes that will be lightly walked in at best, to a pair of athletic sneakers designed to protect your foot and ankles from severe physical stresses?

Here is the problem...as many sneakerheads as there are, basketball shoes have to have some sort of limit to their appeal.
On top of that, there is also a limit to the appeal to LeBron's line of sneakers (for whatever reason it may be i.e. a person with a dislike for him)
On top of that, how many people out there say to themselves "Man, I have to go out and buy LeBron's new shoe" ?
How many basketball fans really feel like they need the benefit of whatever technology is infused with the sneaker?
Then how many of those people are willing/able to spend 300 dollars on ONE pair?
Lastly, how many of those people are actually going to cop a pair?
It appears to be a downhill process on the surface, but I guess there are enough people willing to make the climb to get a pair, considering Nike is confident they will make a significant profit from a $300 pair of sneakers.

LBJ's rep might take another hit for this. Talk about one step forward and two steps back. Glad I got out 5 years ago. A house is more important than shoes.

Kind of messed up the first 315 price tag will come on the Olympic pair, they'll get a few bits of that alone.
