Naw, I'm just trying to practice something called "Upsidedown Foil". You know, it's what foil will be when Rene Roch is done with it.

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".

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.
