The cheapest new Air Jordan 12 “Playoff” in sizes 8 to 12 now costs $168, in a size 8.5. A week ago it was $148 in a size 10.5, and that listing is gone: the cheapest size 10.5 is now $198, up $50.
Even after the jump, $168 is $42 under the $210 retail. The 8.5 itself rose $12 this week, from $156.
Where the price went
My nightly checks show the cheapest pair drifting down for most of the time since I started tracking it on September 29, then bouncing back today:
- Sep 29: $170, the starting price
- Oct 28: $160
- Nov 3: $157
- Nov 5: $148, the low since my checks began
- Nov 14: $168
So yes, it was cheaper this month. Today's $168 is still below the $170 it started at, though.
Every size from 8 to 12
| US size | Nov 14 | Nov 7 | Vs retail | Low since Sep 29 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | $175 | $175 | −$35 | $160 |
| 8.5 | $168 | $156 | −$42 | $155 |
| 9 | $187 | $183 | −$23 | $182 |
| 9.5 | $195 | $195 | −$15 | $190 |
| 10 | $211 | $213 | +$1 | $190 |
| 10.5 | $198 | $148 | −$12 | $148 |
| 11 | $221 | $210 | +$11 | $210 |
| 11.5 | $214 | $214 | +$4 | $200 |
| 12 | $252 | $253 | +$42 | $230 |
Five sizes sell under retail right now: sizes 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 and 10.5. A size 8 is $175, unchanged in a week. The other four (sizes 10, 11, 11.5 and 12) are over retail, topping out at $252 for a size 12.
If you wear an 8 or an 8.5, I'd buy now: both are well under retail. If you're a 10.5, I'd wait. That size sold for $148 a week ago, and paying $198 for it today feels like a bad trade.
