which street should we consider? or is it Zimbabwean inflation rates. Nike Store says $220, but out of stock.
Do you have another update on the real price?

Well, we all know that neither of those prices can be correct... Everybody knows that real, commercially available product, always end up having a cost that ends in ".99". "Life is like a wheel, where everyone steals, but when we rise, it's like Strawberry Fields."

So...Craig, you hear anything on the price?
The difference between $150 and $220 isnt insignificant. Was there some kind of miscommunication?

It's significant enough that at $150 they're probably the top candidate for my new fencing shoes. At $220 they're out of the running. "When Fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and bearing a cross."
