Why would you assume that? Sure the design is there but there is design of the molds involved, sourcing of the materials. And.... INFLATION is real.
I would assume R&D for these shoes is less now than it was back then

You couldnt be further from the truth. There is this thing called annual inflation.
$65 in 1985 (Air Jordan 1) is $146in 2016 dollars
$100 in 1988 (Air Jordan 3) is $205.
$125 in 1995 (Air Jordan 11) is $198.
$180 in 1997 (Foamposite) is $268.
Not factoring the increased cost of labor, shipping, etc.
So... What are you saying again?

Inflation talk always means the thread is headed in the right direction

lol im not trying to say anything.
like i said "i get it " its just weird.
its like paying more for a retooled 68 camaro with weaker parts.
i understand the times and of course it makes sense, but its weird,
As my grandma would say: "business is business"
they're not redesigning the molds and i would assume they're not changing the material sources fairly oftenWhy would you assume that? Sure the design is there but there is design of the molds involved, sourcing of the materials. And.... INFLATION is real.

Yeah, and more stabilityIf these things are a 7/10 I'll be content. Zoom all out Flyknit with a strap. Let's get it.
