I've always wondered whether this sort of thing is a violation of antitrust laws. Not that I'm an expert in that field, nor would I actually do anything about it if I were. But an interesting phenomenon.


It's not. A maker can set a minimum recommended retail price (RRP) for a specific region/regions and demand that their retailers won't sell below this. It is however very illegal for a group of retailers to set up a cartel and price fix. People go to jail for that.

Change is not immidiate, if you have already ordered a pair then of course the quoted price will be honoured. When we have all the details we will inform you of the new policies and we will have a grace period before the new policies kick in. I will try to be as transparent as possible throughout the process. There's "no cow on the ice" yet if I may use Swedish expression.
How often do cows make it out onto the ice out there?

likewise I don't see US retailers lowers customer pricing despite the USD being strong and them taking adganvatge of favorable exchange rates
Agreed, is not a capitalistic economy for nothing.. But in the same vein some EU retailers have figured out how to provide prices in dollars, through URL/Proxy and taking advantage of the Euro weakness.

... back to shoes
