What was the pair of Jordans that came with a briefcase and were the first pair to be 200$ when they came out? I can't remember the number, but those were the first pair of sneakers I ever bought with my personal money in my life, I wanna say I was a junior or senior in high school. They probably came out between 2001-2004, can't really remember.

Back in my day I remember paying $108 for a pair of III White Cements on Eastbay.

:flabbynsick:
This.

5hey used to be 99.99.
Then went up to 115.
Then 130
Then 150
Then 175
Then 190
Then 225
Now 250
:why:
The catch....they say they are using premium materials so it justifies the cost but the truth is they are using lower quality materials to make quantity and increasing the retail cost.

:pachaha:nd nikkas still buying.

I gave up on Jordan's a while back.

:russ: It shows you don't buy Jordans. Jordan 6 infrareds were going for about 300 when they came out in 2014 (they are cheaper now).

Some 7s cost at least 350.
Did you see the 4s with the supposed premium materials that cost $400? They made 4 different colorways of them.

Those came out after the Don c jordans.
But those were actually real premium italian leather uppers (like the original 3s were made of) and premium silver/metal parts.
shopping

Those are going for $1,100 now.
:mindblown:
