A.I. shoes did increase in price with future releases... . The spike In Jordan's is indicative of social branding in its infancy so to speak...

Jordan was a social icon, and thus Nike demanded a premium for his premiere apparel


No, the Jordan two went up in price because tinker Hatfield [edit bruce Kilgore was the lead designer on the aj ii and the original mold were supposedly lost and explains the reason why the retro was never retro's in its og incarnation for real]and mj coming off of injury wanted premium Italian leather stock from Italy.
to be on the Jordan ii to aid in his ensured prolonged recovery from injury.
Which is why the shoe went up in price sixty five dollars to one hundred dollars



Peep what shoe mj is rock'n Jordan I.
Mj talks about the Jordan I having bite.
when he came back and wore them and dropped against the knicks.

That Time Michael Jordan Killed the Knicks in a Pair of Vintage Sneakers


Plus mj's has two different size feet as well.
The Jordan two is the unknown holy grail of shoe collecting.
All because it is the shoe that created the hype beast mania because of the addition of high quality Italian leather.
If someone says they like Jordan's and the Jordan ii, the tinkerhatfield 2 is not mentioned they are a fraud.

It's only shoes ..Durant was acting like he was saving the world by selling cheap sneakers... The kids who can't afford those shoes have way bigger problems then that going on in their lives


But I think honestly the gloves are off for KD and hes sick and tired of being second to LeBron in about every facet of life and hes basically just going all out to get his...

Rings, sneaker sales etc and expect him to find a wife later this year too

Bad message for children with that answer. Damn shame. Hope his mom puts him in his place.
