^^@ Backroad….I agree with you to a point….from a reasonable standpoint, sneaker collecting is relatively new and only for a small, niche market of spenders, most of which are young…so in their interests, seeing sneakers with a $4,000.00 price tag is what bothers me….when two grown men are fighting over a pair of
1-of-1′s and it comes down to who wants em more, and they financially decide to end up paying what non-sneakerheads would consider WAY too much, then fine. And let’s face it….I don’t ever see a pair of sneakers becoming so socially relavent, they rate a comparison to a Picasso painting or Michelangelo statue….in the end LEM said is the way I always put it too….they’re only worth what someone’s willing to pay for em.

@Backroad. Great breakdown. Didn’t look at it from that standpoint. However, something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

I don’t think the price is all that absurd. Simple supply and demand. It’s a collector’s item, super high demand super low supply. Just like coins, art, etc… People pay stacks for limited coins all day. Why shouldn’t limited J’s cost stacks if the market bears the price?

^^^^You haven’t spoken anything but the truth TokyoMike. I get the limited thing too, but that kind of money is ridiculous. The most I ever paid for a pair of shoes was $280. That was for my Grapes 5′s which I traded for the XX3 Titaniums.

^^Yeah anybody asking over $1,000.00 for a pair of kicks is smoking crack, let alone $4,500.00…..c’mon, I know they’re “limited” but you’re still only paying for some rubber and leather. I think at the most, even the most sought after “grails” should top out at about $1,200.00 or so…..and even that’s an absolutely obsurd price.

Dem 4s were mega limited…
I can see why he asking that much
The titanium and bred 23s are in the 2000 range because of how many were made
and these 4s way more limited…
So dude i guess is asking right
But hell no i will never waste more than 500 for 1 pair of kicks
700 maybe for original DMP
