Nike could be releasing the Total Foamposite Max in 2026

Had the all black ones when they originally came out in the 90s aka the Tim duncans.. The re-releases suck cause if you had the ogs you know that the kicks had a shine to it.. It was a nice shiny texture, them re-releases be looking dull and lifeless.. Never liked the re-release
I'm not a sneaker head, but I hear you on the re release shit. They only look the same if you ain't seen or didn't have the originals.
I understand wanting to wear the latest J's or collect highly sought after grails, but try as I might I just can't wrap my head around paying hundreds for high-priced Nikes that cost typically between $16 to $35 a pair to make??? I understand supply and demand principle, but this amount of markup seems like a rip. Somebody help me understand. 
NIKE wants some of that Shecher market share.
Are these slip-ons?

Bottle water cost 14 cents-25 cents per bottle but people pay $1-$8 bucks or more for it.. Everything is marked upI understand wanting to wear the latest J's or collect highly sought after grails, but try as I might I just can't wrap my head around paying hundreds for high-priced Nikes that cost typically between $16 to $35 a pair to make???

You're really gonna compare paying a markup of $8 dollars with a markup in the hundreds? Really?
I knew you wouldn't let em'em!
I had the silver OG's back when they released, never got the black ones.
Man them jawnz look like some orthopoedic shoe for that robot in Lost is Space.
Danger Will Redline, Danger Will Redline !!!
There’s a thread on Gucci Timberlands.You're really gonna compare paying a markup of $8 dollars with a markup in the hundreds? Really?
7-57 times mark up on an item would sound crazy.. but this is exactly what people do when they sell bottle water.. bars, hotels, etc will sell water for 5-10 bucks which is 25-50+ times more than the actual value.. shouldn't people be mad paying 5-10 bucks for something that cost 15-22 cents?.. now the markup is actually more than sneakers.. remember humans purchase and consume more water than sneakers.. water is a multi billion dollar a yr biz and the flipping of water is even more than thatYou're really gonna compare paying a markup of $8 dollars with a markup in the hundreds? Really?
Wow, you're really trying to make a case and I respect that. The markup percentage on a bottle of water relative to its production cost very well may be higher than that on a pair of Nike's; but c'mon, what is going to hurt your pockets more, being price gouged for 10 bucks or being ripped for $200? There's cause and effect at play here. The cause (insane markup) is applicable to both products, but the effect (price paid) monetarily results in a much bigger hit to the buyer's wallet.
Everybody doesn't buy nike, or expensive shoes, and has alternatives.. More people buy and drink water especially bottle water than they buy and wear nike.. All water is marked up. 10 cases of water will cost you between 40-80 bucks for the yr which is more than 1 bottle a day where a single copped water will cost 1-2 bucks at most stores which will cost you $365-730 dollars a yr.. That's a 325-690 dollar difference per yr..from buying the case compare to the single marked up water.. That's if you buy at least 1 bottle a day .. I know people that will buy 1-3 or more a day instead of buying the wholesale case.. Gas stations, cornerstores, newstands, street vendors, etc bank off the markup system every single day. I just pointed out several hundreds of dollars per yr people spend on marked up waters.. Hell I was at a parade this yr and the water sellers had the nerve to start at $2 a piece and when I called one of them out on it he tried to act like the price of bottle water went up when its the same fucking price at the wholesale spot as last yr.. Nigs spending $9 or less for the 40 pack and making 80 bucks or a $71 profit on street water sales per case
Well my brother, guess sometimes what seems obvious, isn't. I stand corrected and duly informed.
. Thanks!!I I googled "what has a higher markup, Nike Shoes or Bottled Water" and low and behold:...
Bottled water has a significantly higher potential markup than Nike shoes. While Nike shoes have high markups, they are nowhere near the astronomical levels seen with bottled water.
- Bottled Water: The markup on a standard bottle of water can reach as high as 4,000%, especially when purchased individually at places like stores or vending machines. A $2 bottle of water may cost the manufacturer only about 5 cents to produce.
- Nike Shoes: While Nike shoes do have a substantial markup, it is much lower in comparison. Leaked documents and industry analysis suggest that for a shoe that retails for around $100-$180, the total manufacturing cost (materials and labor) might be around $16-$28.50. This represents a gross margin of roughly 91% or an 11x markup, which is still a very high markup but substantially less than 4,000%.
