$55 Average price for the same period a year ago.

These aren't sneakers we're talking about, it's the lifeblood of our modern society.
So... What's wrong with profit to sales of around 10%? If you wish to complain about the cost of oil per barrel, complain to the US Fed who prints money non stop recently... And also Chinese and Indian Joe Sixpacks who want a better life for themselves...
