Really?
I just can't fathom why someone would pay that kind of money for an ugly pair of shoes. What I CAN imagine is the utter disgust and disappointment of the same fans who were "clamoring for such a shoe" when they learned the price and availability.
I disagree with Matt Halfhill of nicekicks.com- this is a publicity stunt, whereas the Jordan Air was a very attainable and practical shoe for the masses. While I commend Nike for donating the proceeds to charity, I think they went about it the wrong way... instead of making 1500 pairs at a ridiculous price, why not make 100,000 pairs, price them affordably, and offer them worldwide? Their fans would be happier, and the profits overall would have been much greater. Surely a shoe with some lights in it isn't that expensive to manufacture... I see toddlers running around in them all the time.
