Packs will continue to go up in price because Nike/JB realize that people will pay the price for them. I know cats who are fellow shoe enthusiast and work for shoe companies. They gauge their price points by what the market is willing to bear. Of course branding and quality play a role but a lot of the info they need is found on sites like these. Every retailer or manufacturer has a target audience. If they are already selling a pack for 10 times the cost of manufacturing from the jump and people will pay $150-$200 over retail, then it's a no brainer.
The CDP's were $310 when they first released back in the days. And they had a better combination of shoes than the GOF. Jordan brand has already admitted that the quality of their retro product is lacking but they still priced the pack at $500. And people still bought them up. The XX9 is a great shoe in regards to its purpose -balling. The XI is nice as well but by no means does it deserve a $250 price point when you split the cost of the pack per shoe.
