Any Jordan shoe is automatically being sold for this much beyond the Jordan 1, wether we deem it too much or not it is the norm for the brand.
The amount of phone calls for this shoe at my shop is above and beyond, also the engagement on our instagram is way above most SB releases.
Positive or negative it has the skate world a buzz, and that’s all any brand can hope for.
Skating has also pushed beyond strictly a progressive approach and the fully flaired effect, the overall level is lower and the approaches seem less serious in general(not saying there aren’t skaters at the highest level ever).
Nike is making a huge push for women/lgbtqia community meanwhile emerica is making beer collabs.
Just some observations at Skateshop level.
