Even though the reviews corrected the price, many users continued to judge the boot by $400 price tag (correct price - $299)

The need to separate the primes from regular adizero through colorway◦ Since adizero primes cost $150 extra, many users felt

they should be easily identifiable and exclusive

Although most users complained about the exorbitant price, few users accepted it

Community members barely discussed about the performance attributes◦ Belief that the boots guaranteed superior performance

based on the original adizero

As the original adizero seemed affordable at $150, most members disliked the price of primes but acknowledged the exclusivity factor

Pricing $100 lesser than Superfly II made it desirable boot in the elite category

Considering the original adizeros were the lightest cleats ever produced and launched just before the World Cup ‘10, should adidas have priced it at more than $199 price tag?

With a narrow gap (8 months) between original adizeros and primes, would it have been easier to justify the $299 price for the primes?
