Wow... I haven't been on NT in a while, and I see a lot has changed! I NEVER thought I would see the day when people would be defending newer retros and bashing OG's!!! That is insane to me.

I pre-paid for my 2 pairs at the Footlocker in Fairview, Pointe-Claire this past weekend. The manager said he was putting in the orders lastnight. Hopefully you can still pre-order.
What "overseas"?? Canada is on the same continent as the U.S... these are not that hard to get guys.
Just because you can't walk into your local Footlocker and pick them up, does not mean they are impossible to get. Quit all the crying, ask mommy toborrow her credit card and buy them...
