I truly appreciate that theyā€™re coming up with newer colourways but I still canā€™t justify the newer prices. Just like the $120 Artifact fades theyā€™re not really growing on me Iā€™d go with a solid anyday over those. I hope they keep trying though pretty confident at one point theyā€™ll be consistent! ---

Iā€™m not sure that the fade Artifacts represent a new price point in general. Collab pricing is often a little more complicated. I was surprised to see the price on the splash Boosted Rainiers, which was lower than the Tuesday Market (regular) Rainiers. IIRC, many of the latest drops are in the same price range as splashes/fades before they went on hiatus in 2022.\* \* Edit to add here, my SM Deep State was much lower, my ShadowKat Thorn was slightly lower, but I could swear that certain splash Aitches were higher. It seems like it has always been a wide range, but minus the outliers, I think the range is pretty on par with general inflation.
