Another year, another price increase. Beginning Holiday 2022, Jordan Brand<\/a><\/strong> plans to raise the price of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG<\/strong> from $170 to $180 USD. This news comes just after the report of new data that revealed footwear prices are rising at the fastest inflation rate in 20 Years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG<\/a> is celebrated for its design specs that are closest to the original 1985 model crafted by Peter Moore. This edition also boasts exceptional structure with high quality materials and conceptual storytelling. For longtime sneaker enthusiasts, the premium price tag of these sneakers have been justified by the aforementioned elements, but this $10 increase means that we could easily be seeing $200 AJ1s within the next couple of years. The latest price increase might be a result of the global logistics issues that have affected the footwear industry since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Jordan Brand\u2019s parent company, Nike<\/a>, has also raised prices this year on other popular models such as the Nike Air Force 1<\/a> and Nike Air Max 97<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bernie Sanders, U.S. Senator for Vermont, commented on Nike\u2019s price increases as he tweeted, \u201cCorporate greed is Nike increasing its profit by 125% last year to $5.7 billion & blaming “inflation” for a 10.5% price spike on a pair of expensive sneakers made by workers in Vietnam earning less than a buck an hour while Phil Knight became $26.7 billion richer in the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
