Took the words right out of my mouth.

I think it's a combination of all the things mentioned above: high-volume production of an ugly (but hyped) shoe that costs Nike next to nothing to manufacture.

Any kind of shipment with that kind of value would merit some sort of prior notification to the recipient. Don’t you think?

Nothing personal to OP. It was a popular post and dozens of people on here rallied behind it. Been alive long enough to know that wouldn't be a popular sentiment for long so the post wasn't very far from reach. Calling the ears of the collective rather than OP.

Double post.

All it takes is two seasons to change one's mind.

It's also possible that the SS18 collection is already at their office, but they're focusing on completing AVM shipments before launching. I'd imagine it being a logistical nightmare given their operational capacity if those two were to overlap.

Love each other... shoot for the stars... All that is fine. I'm most happy that sufu peeps are finally coming to terms that pricing is a real component of the design process and are willing to discuss the implications here. Adds another variable for critique that I think this thread has overlooked before, but finds itself having to address now.

When you don't overthink it, it's actually that simple. 'Fair wage' is relative -- E threw everyone a bone with that response.

This is typical of the foils and is the first onset of peeling/de-lamination. ACR calls it ‘patina’, while the folks who developed it would probably categorize it as ‘deterioration.’ See a few pages back around the time of the first foil 3A-3TS drop for images of accelerated degradation on a swatch. Might help you decide if you want to deal with it for much longer or sell.
