I have followed many Slickdeals with brooks glycerin. I have bought many pairs as well. The target price is $80 or less. I have paid as low as $50.

MSRP went up for the 23s to $175
Also by the time it's $80 or less (when the MSRP was lower- unclear if it'll go that low on these) you're usually close to next years coming out (vs the 23s having only released a few months ago) and limited to a narrow selection of colors and sizes (literally in the case of wides being sold out often by then)-- though granted this deal is also narrow to a single color-- if it hadn't been this would be a pretty decent price for this early in the lifecycle esp with the price bump to MSRP.

Nothing wrong with getting last year's model. I am just sharing my glycerin tactic that has done me well. I have bought about 12 pairs of glycerin for myself and my family, all within these guidelines, all with colorways I have wanted. I probably have about 4 pairs of wide size. This includes the $50 sale which was all sizes including wides and all colorways. If you want to tell about how these 23s are so much better than the previous models that they are worth over twice as much, then be my guest. I have ran 2 full marathons and 3 half marathons (plus the training that goes into preparing for these marathons) in my "previous year" Brooks and I still run 2-3 times a week. I have not had any issues but you do you.

I also have always bought previous years ones at ~half price-- I'm not at all criticizing that strategy.
I'm pointing out these are NOT last years- they're only a couple months into their lifecycle, AND they raised the MSRP this year-- so this is, in fact, a slick deal on THIS years model at THIS point in the lifecycle--- it's over $60 off MSRP for a model only recently introduced.
So if you happen to need sneakers NOW and want the 23s- this deal is a good one. If you do NOT need them now, and are fine waiting till next year to buy the 23s (or you're ok buying whatever leftover older models you can still find in restricted sizes/colors) then do that.
Also yes, from all the reviews/teardowns I've seen the 23 is a nice improvement. How much that's worth is entirely YMMV.
See above. These won't be under $100 for quite a while yet- if you can wait then do that. If not, and don't care about the improvements in the 23, keep any eye out for deals on last years in your size/color

Ahh the age old SD debate of what is a slick deal and what's not. You and I have been on here long enough but apparently we have different interpretations of what is a good deal and what is meh. To me, just because something is the current best price, doesn't make it a slick deal. We are not here to cater to people who need something now so a $1 off msrp is not a good deal if it's the best current price. Yes I am exaggerating but the point is that if you know the price history of these shoes, you know that $113 is way too high. Personally, I think $113 is way too high for any running shoes considering that if you are a true runner, how fast you would go through these. Again, that's how I view SD, and apparently you are on the camp of well it's the best price available at this very moment so it has to be a good deal. Also I think don't think it's fair to point out how much off msrp this deal is. No SDer in their right mind would ever pay msrp on brooks glycerin so that number means nothing to me.
Exaggerating by quite a lot.
This is not $1 off, this is almost $62 off.
Or roughly 35% off the retail price.
That's slick, period full stop. Especially if you run/walk/whatever enough your current pair(s) are worn out.
By all means if you've got a closet full of new shoes queued up and can wait- then wait. It'll be cheaper later. Which applies to MOST products that have repeated lifecycles (running shoes, most electronics, etc)
Literally NOBODY is arguing with you about this yet you seem to keep WANTING an argument about it. Kinda weird.

Again this msrp is jacked. That 35% off retail means nothing. Let's see a show if hands as to how many people on SD has bought a pair of brooks glycerin at msrp in the last 5 years.
This is so not slick. Sorry. No need to full stop anything.
And yes I believe you are arguing with me about the slickness of this deal.
BTW, I think that score of - 4 confirms other SDers feel the same.
$175 is actual retail price at actual stores when a sale isn't running. So yes, 35% off that is a deal RIGHT NOW- even though "if you wait a year to buy the old model it's cheaper" is ALSO true.

I see you keep being unable to take yes for an answer
That said if you wanna play the whose opinion is thought of better by score game I've got about 30% more posts than you, but my rep score for my posts is almost 200% higher than yours.
Pro tip- when you find yourself in a hole- stop digging.

Yes that's why I am surprised how wrong you are on this. As for the car analogy, there are plenty of cars that are sold at msrp and never any less than msrp. Go try to buy a Lexus gx and see how big of a laugh your dealer will give you when you try to ask for a discount. In the same sense, there are plenty of shoes that are sold at msrp and nothing less. Brooks is definitely not one of them. And if you want to know a real analogy, that's like saying a 50% off msrp for an Invicta watch is a deal. Hint : it's not.
Maybe you should stick to Tesla posts. BTW, that's another car that's MOSTLY sold at msrp (not all).
But how about we stay focus on the subject at hand. I look at the actual trend not just percentage of msrp. If you go back to the 10 last deals on brooks glycerin (I am not going to get into the other variants of glycerin but just glycerin), this deal is the second worst price. Both of those had a negative score on SD. 7 of the 10 were less than $100 ranging from $62 to 92. Personally for me that's a pretty convincing argument to not pay this much for this shoe. Sure you can argue that this is a 23 and the others are not, but for shoes the changes of new models are not that significant like in technology. If you think the 23 is that much better and are willing to pay more, well you do you. That's all I am going to say about this.
BTW, did you put your money where you mouth is? Did you actually buy this at this price if you think it's such a good deal? Yeah I didn't think so.
Yikes, this is scary incorrect. You should probably be banned from posting.
