Another angle is that they have the inline product to move too - GR, Elite, EXT, Ambassador, Soldier, etc... These are already doing quite poorly at retail so they want these high priced retros to essentially inject some lifeblood in the brand as a whole.
Nike has to be quite careful here, as they run the risk of having their older, more complex LBJ shoes cannibalize (already weak) sales of their lower tech, higher margin inline product.
I can see most if not all of the AZG retros as being quite hard for most to obtain due to limited availability and hype.

The best part of this retro line is that JB had already established what a lucrative business retros can be, so I'm sure Nike has all of the original molds/tooling readily available.

View media item 2305325 got these for $40 on Christmas Eve in Huntington Park, CA. Brand new with tiny flaws due to aging. It's my 2nd time owning this colorway. I hope I can add the first games to the collection.

Nike also knows how lucrative retros are when they cut corners, so I expect the consumers aka true fans of the shoe to be disappointed. I hope they prove me wrong...

Yes sir. A small shoe store had one pair left on display which happened to be my size. I couldn't believe the price when the owner told me how much.

Full length zoom, carbon fibre shank plate, Sphere sockliner and 'premium' leather - this joint on paper is already better than the XIV.

If they have full length zoom, they are going to be very comfortable, and in that case I am definitely in at 175.

Why are fools saying full zoom? Its just Heel air and forefoot zoom.

Just hit up my FootLocker connect and that's what he got back. I'm gonna try and get them at Xhibition (local Cleveland store) but now I'm hoping to get 1 pair for myself. Here I was thinking I'd be getting 10 pair minimum SMFH...
