I could understand the price increase due to inflation, cost of materials, labor, etc., etc. if the quality of the shoes they retroed were consistent, but we all know that its the complete opposite. In actuality they get steadily worse.

I'm the last person who would defend JB on anything. Would I pay $160 for any retro JB put out today...hellz no! If the quality was on point then maybe...but then again I haven't bought anything from JB for a while.Originally Posted by ohdannyboy
^ not at the rate of shoes tho. Don't try to defend the pricing.

Do your own calculations here: http://inflationdata.com/...lculator.asp#calcresults
According to the site, from Jan. 1989 to Jan. 2011 the inflation rate is 81.85%. So the IVs being $110 back then would cost $200 today!Of course this isn't an accurate measure and doesn't reflect what we get today...
