Nike knows their thing and they could easily have gotten people to pay 1500 for that shoe package if they wanted to and if they desperately needed the extra money. To me though, its still weird how people can justify the 1000 dollar retail and even weirder how other people will pay the double in 6 months to get ahold of a pair.
I'd pay 200 bucks for a pair of shoes if I really wanted them, but not a 1000 unless it guaranteed naked model chicks in my bed every night. But they dont care that much about whats on my feet, so I wont.
