Price Increase for the new Strides

These new Strides are priced at $118. The last batch of Strides were all priced at $108. No special features have been added to these except perhaps the Lilac Stride is brushed luon on the inside but that has not been priced differently in past designs that have been brushed luon (static wave stripe from July). So what do you fellow Stride lovers think of that?

**to clarify, the Lilac Stride on the right is brushed luon and the Grey striped one on the left is not brushed luon. Both are priced at $118. I will update you here if the non brushed luon was a pricing error.
