So yes, it was cheaper earlier this month. Since my checks began on September 29, the cheapest pair in sizes 8 to 12 sat at $122 until November 5, then jumped to $143. That makes $122 the lowest I've recorded and today's $143 the highest.

Only two sizes under retail

Retail is $160, and from size 8 to 12 just two sizes still sell under it:

  • $143 in size 8, $17 under retail
  • $151 in size 8.5, $9 under retail

The other seven ask more than retail, from $179 for a 10 up to $298 for a 10.5.

What moved

Not every size went up. Size 10 fell $30 to $179, and size 11 dropped $62 to $234. Both are the lowest I've seen for those sizes since I started tracking. Size 12 went the other way: it's up $62 to $262.

The table puts this week's price next to last week's and shows how far each size is from retail. Outside the 8 to 12 range, three more sizes sell under retail: a size 14 is $70 ($90 under), a size 7 is $121 and a 7.5 is $132.

If you wear an 8 or an 8.5, I'd still buy: even after the jump you pay less than retail. In sizes 9 to 12, every size asks over retail, and sizes 10 and 11 just showed those prices can move, so I'd wait. Other pairs are on the Air Max 97s under retail page.
