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? Nike Store Page for Ballestra

| 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".

| 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.
