Should be no more than $110. And they'll have to clean up the sole. Make it look new, so that for people who want to dirty them, or age them, they can do that on their own.

Also, Nike will have to re-release true-to-the-originals over the next 3 years, which could be a rocky 3 years for them or anybody. For example, Jordan 3 Cement, with the "Nike Air" as opposed to the Jumpman logo.

As far as this one goes, I understand the PD arguments of differentiating "OG" from "Retro", but those classic arguments are becoming less and less important, as the customers for this type of product will continue to look for true-to-the-originals. Materials will be off, regardless, on any retro, which would make this a tough hot-seller, as-is, but add the worn sole and this shoe becomes a tough sale all together.

If you have to differentiate the product, do it on the packaging-level. Maybe, original box design, but white for orange and orange for white. If you put it in the other '85 boxes, then maybe, instead of red Nike on black box, the reverse. That's all. Good luck.

At first, I thought I was looking at someone's e-bay pics of used TKOs for sale, but I thought wrong :/ I can see putting the vintage look on the soles, cause no one really sees those, but on the rim of the shoe?? Not feeling that! I work hard to keep that part clean…you feel me? When I rock them (cause I will cop them), Imma keep thinking I just scuffed them :/ I hope the final version takes that part out.

But other than that, I'm lovin them. Love that material (similar to the Jordan/Levi pack). The colorway is a must! And it says A1KO…dope!

All I'm saying is, it better not be more than $115….I can't pay that much for dirty shoes. It's like buying Guess or Lucky Brand jeans with holes in them for $100 bucks…I don't get it?

hallelujah holla back!

LOL at first comment, nothing coming out this year is more heated then these (judging from value history).

Yeah, the vintage look was done incorrectly, like someone ran some baseball in these before sending 'em out. They need a more yellowed rather than dirty look if they want true vintage … lol make it look like you stepped in piss instead of #2.
