Not retros if it was back then.

[@sarriola18]

They originally retailed at $65 in 1985. Given inflation, that's about $155 today. The MSRP on the modern day Jordan 1 is about $160. I imagine it was exactly the same but with far less demand. Elementary economics...

[@I_WANT_MY_SLAW]

It's really not a good investment. If you spend $25, and only get a few hundred dollars 30 years later, that's a bad investment. You would've been better taking that $25 and investing it an S&P 500 index fund. You would have way more money in 30 years.

[@DaveRichardsonFitness]

I remember it was a really cool move back in 2004-2005 when you could only get Nike SBs in certain skate stores. One skate store per town was allowed the shoes at one point. It was a good idea because the skate stores actually got behind it and liked the shoes. I’m sure some at first were like “errr ok,” but they definitely were ahead of the curve on that one. Also some skaters were totally cool with it (I wasn’t at the time but like them now lol) as those other skaters grew up wearing Nike football shoes (I’m British where everyone loves football) so the transition wasn’t weird for them. The only down side was, by 2008 when I started liking the shoes a lot, they were difficult to find haha. Would have to drive quite far to get them or order online

[@JasonSantiagoShow]

Man I had a pair of the Tiffany dunks in 2007. My friend bought them randomly, didn’t like how they went with his outfits, so sold them to me for like £15. Neither of us knew they’d be worth £300 a few years later. I skated the crap out of them. No one knew you could sell them for so much haha. First skate shoe that was thickish, yet had boardfeel and flexibility with a lot of grip

[@letsplayclassicgames5024]

I think the quality went a long way. I had always wore eS, Fallen, or Lakai, but when the Koston 1 dropped I gave them a try. I had always questioned skating a pair of Nikes, but within the first sesh you could tell how above and beyond the development of those shoes were. They lasted a whole season of skating daily for me, I only bought another pair cause the bottom of the shoes wore through after half a year. That experience really had me hooked, I have bought nothing but Nikes since besides the occasional Vans Pro series. If I ever see EK1's I always cop them.

[@wtfRyantater]

It is understandable why people don’t like Nike. It was a big brand in the 1980’s, and still is. For some people what turns them off from Nike shoes is the big Logo on each shoe. For some people, they love the logo, and don’t mind it much as they like louder shoes. And that’s okay, just as it is to dislike it.
