We all know nike has too much pride to lower the price of retro jays (which most of us adore).
In lieu of doing so, they'll decrease production numbers and make releases more scattered/scarce all while reducing release output (so instead of seeing cycle times of retro releases ever 3-4 years... they may bump that figure up to 5-6. Creates more exclusivity. While i appreciate the bump in units produced to alleviate the issue of resellers... the climate for retro jordans (or most retro or general nike releases all together) has changed vastly in the past 2 years. Consumers are some fickle fukkers and you have to foreshadow their habits early. Adopt and reposition yourself. Adapt and modify your plans to the behaviors of those who are literally your lifeline (sure you want to appease your shareholders... but if people are buying, those same people who invested in your company will start feeling the trickle effect).
IMO, production is fine. Because i still don't see jordans on everyone's feet like that, even during it's recent height/resurgence (a la 2012-15ish).
Now it's even less mainstream due to the rise of Adidasler.
My remedy for Nike's approach (because i still enjoy Jordans as much as the next guy) is drop it by 20-30 bucks. 160 for jordans is realistic.
Here's some food for thought. This is the first year since 2008 that I DID NOT PURCHASE ONE SINGLE AIR JORDAN SNEAKER!
In contrast... there was a time when i would have doubled up on the BRED 13's, copped the CNY 12's, owned a couple of pairs of 11 and 12 lows, maybe them red toro 5's and the black gold 4's. Really liked those blue suede and wool 12. But i own NONE of those.
Now... i'm buying runners and adi shoes.
It's just the trends, breh.

Use the coupons in the store
A lot of releases aren't in store unfortunately and no pick up in store options on many of them.
Tried all that shyt and like @diggy said the releases I want aren't in store and have no pick up in store option. Its too much of a hassle fukking with FNL.
Edit:
And then they ship your shyt in a bag with the box beat to hell.

The stuff you're saying regarding the prices happens already. The prices stay dropping on them for the most part unless you just want to have them right away. Most of the new J's outside the 13's obviously are around 130-150 right now at sneaker spot around me. You just wait a month or so and them bad boys dropping most times
