There has been some debate as to what exactly the retail of the 33 HI was. Some discounted the shoe as a bargain brand shoe found for 50-65 bucks while others have stated it was a mid range shoe in the 70-85 dollar range and still others have said the price was in the 90-100 dollar range. Keep in mind, some stores in the early 90’s may have chosen to sell the shoes at a slight discount while others charged over MSRP;their were no rules. One store however has pretty much put this topic of debate to rest, and that store is Footlocker. As you can clearly see the retail price of the original Ewing 33 HI was 79.99. Aside from putting the debate to rest it also shows that a brand can make an accurate retro and not overly inflate the price of the shoe. PROPS to Ewing Athletics.
