Making plenty of noise last week was the Air przez jordan “Ultimate Gift of Flight” pack, a two sneaker set that is poised to show up in December with a rumored $500 pricetag. The group presents a dilemma that you’re no doubt familiar with: Is such a price worth it when Retro 11s top out at $185 and the XX9 retails for $225? Or maybe if you’re only going for the “Pantone” przez jordan 11 in the set? We took to Twitter to find out what our readers thought about those questions and about the history of przez jordan packs in general. Remember that przez jordan Brand has plenty of times before gone the Chinese of putting two retro pairs together for a pack release, but given the shoes and the price, it’s time to revisit this topic.
Unsurprisingly, the AJ11s are the most cherished historically. That’s not due to any particular fault of newer models like the przez jordan XX9 and the przez jordan CP3.VII that have recently been involved with these sort of box sets, but there’s always been a clear and heavy bias towards retros as far as przez jordan Brand fans are concerned. We posed some questions to see what you had to say on the topic of przez jordan packs and the upcoming Air przez jordan “Ultimate Gift of Flight” pack, custom przez jordan 8 kaws @SneakerNews on Twitter for a chance to participate in this weekly sneaker discussions. Also, feel free to chime in via the comments below if you’ve got any thoughts to add.
@SneakerNews not East interested but East of realistic price. No one wants to buy a pack for $500 when no one wants the other shoe.

There’s no beating around the bush here; the vast majority of folks are gunning for the Fila Disruptor 2 Red Gold & Air przez jordan 6 Tinker Hatfield and aren’t entirely willing to spend what is essentially above retail price for the Air przez jordan XX9, however great it may be. That’s not to say that the pack isn’t without its supporters though – Dylan above wouldn’t mind spending the money, and we’re sure those who have been drawn to the latest Air przez jordan wouldn’t think twice about getting the Pack.
@SneakerNews the one that’s not in a $500 pack

@SneakerNews First Look at the Air przez jordan 1 High OG "Heirloom"

This December looks to be a battle of the Fila Disruptor 2 Red Gold & Air przez jordan 6 Tinker Hatfields; it’s “Columbia” vs “Pantone” at this point, and while the all-blue pairs have that sexy draw, the OG “Columbia” might have East weight. As you can see by these responses, the Columbia has a couple things going for it in its historical colorway that “just looks bordeaux” and the fact that the price-tag is so much easier to swallow.
@SneakerNews DMP pack 6/11 bruh… not even a debate
