Vanessa either going Big Baller Brand Style (based on mambacita prices) or the Shaq way of super cheap through kmarts and Walmarts. Looks like option 1 so far. Either way it sucks for us.
Undefeated pack is a quickstrike as a Tier 0 exclusive. The other releases are not, but are very limited, that’s why there are raffles. Nike can do better. There will be a lot of L’s posted here soon because of resellers.
