When the market floods with these, the dopes that paid $500+ for a preorder are going to turn into suckers like one of them ol Looney Tunes cartoons

As a consumer, I'm elated that we have more options with Jordans and that supply is meeting demand on the most coveted pairs. But it will come at a price.
By significantly raising production numbers and increasing MSRP (which Nike has gradually done, from $160 to $180 to $190, and now $220 on Nike Air branded remasters), not only would Nike shareholders be happy, but ultimately profit margins are increased tenfold and rising competition such as Adidas (Yeezy, James Harden) and Under Armour (Curry) continue to take a backseat to Jordan's empire.
Which is why people should not be alarmed by Aqua 8s "sitting" on the shelves of Nike outlets. Remember, production costs for Nike on their shoes have either gone down, stayed the same, or barely even increased because they pay very close attention to where they source their raw production materials. Meanwhile, the Aquas MSRP increased to $190 from previous retros in 2011, for example, which were priced at $160. Therefore, if Aquas were discounted to $150 at the outlets, Nike never really suffered a loss because the "true MSRP" of today's shoes are really around the $150 range based on the brand business model as well as production costs. It's genius.

I don't understand why all the bickering about GR or limited. Either way it's not like you can do anything more or less to secure your pair other than doing raffles and being online at 9:50am ready to go. We should all hope for a GR. I don't think anyone other than resellers wants this release to be limited.

The only ppl hoping they're limited are resellers who often lurk these pages, and in some cases post. Let's hope this is a release for the fans, lots of pairs for anyone who wants.

Certainly I'm not the only one who has mapped out their trip around the city for raffles next Monday lol

Resell high, low. It doesn't matter. There will always be people complaining. In all honesty, we won't really know what the market will be until it releases. But I guess talking about resell keeps this board moving.

The significant increase of production numbers in 2016 which we will continue to see moving forward is for the fans. JB got the message.
Many years from now when MJ is long gone, the Air Jordan flagship models will be just like Converse Chucks and Adidas Superstars - available everywhere for past and future generations. It will be a neverending money making machine. You buy a pair of Bred 1s or black cement 3s, wear them out til the soles fall off, then take a trip to the store to cop another.

This thread quickly became extremely annoying. Everyone is "knowledgeable" in this thread. Even those who joined in the last six months are so confident that these are a GR because their favorite twitter handle posted something to that effect. Honestly, I couldn't care less if they are limited or a GR and I couldn't care less what someone spends on a pair. I reserved two pairs for above retail and have no regrets about it and I'll likely try for another at retail as well. Not having to worry about it come Saturday is worth it to me.

Thank you. I was thinking of calling up niketown in seattle and a ton of other sneaker shops in Seattle. I'll plan a bus trip to tacoma to see if I can get in on some of these raffles. I want to get a pair so badly theres a dude in my fb group that's doing a preorder for 350 but I ain't trying to pull that trigger yet. Plus he's being a butthole about and I'm not sure I wanna give my cash to someone like that.

I know all they had to do was use the leather from the heel panel on the swoosh. But Nike gonna be Nike
Wrong. GS size leather far far cheaper looking comapred to '13. I remember before the remastered the leather on the '13 was considered far softer than anything else.
How is the resale business these days?
Ya but it wont be like '13s either. Nobody knows anything about numbers. But GS sizing and location maps give strong hints about this release. Best we can do is hope. I am sure you and I would want the resale like around $250. Right?
