Keyword "initial"... hmmmmmmm... looks like New York is the first to get but it will trickle across the country later on maybe?

limited sizes? now thats when you know the employees got the hook up. Theres probably an 8,8 1/2, 10, 11 1/2. 13, and 14 lol

yeah I mean for me personally at this stage of my life I'd rather pay the resale price than go out of my way and sleep on the sidewalk to MAYBE have the CHANCE to get my size....No thanks

theres probably going to be some type of restock somewhere but i dont know about an actual rerelease. jmadidas would know about this, his info is solid

 

[nicelikechrist]

I've been prepping my angus for resale prices since the release info about these

I'll be getting them. Just hope the price drops to below $400 after tomorrow. Oh well.

I knew these would be ridiculously limited. You can tell how limited a shoe will be by the number of pairs that pop up on ebay before RD and how early they pop up. Royal blue 1s were nowhere to be found on ebay until 1 week before rd where a good amount could purchased. I've been monitoring all sizes and up until 3 days ago only 3 in-hand pairs could be found on ebay for these black/gold 1s. That right there was a red flag that these were EXTREMELY limited. ZERO size 9s could be found to purchase on ebay until TODAY 1 day before rd. That's fing crazy. There also ZERO reviews on youtube.

Black toes looking like they will be very limited as well.



Grape 5s will be a very easy cop. There was a huge amount of pairs as early as January on ebay.

250k + grape v's

Yea I figured they only had about 1 or 2 "fsrs" and after the employees were done with them only about 15 pairs would remain.. I don't even think if I left now I'd get them since the people are probably holding spots

If you have time to kill you're not too far...just take a ride over and see what happens. I on the other hand live in Westchester and have a 12 hr work day ahead of me lol

I feel like JB explores real life economic regression models on use consumers with every release... They are trying to figure out how to maximize profit from a monopolistic stand point... Only a monopolistic firm (Nike) would hold back quantities supplied to maximize future profits... Hence what we are seeing with this release...

JB just made over a billion in revenues how much more could they maximize profit lol???

 

[futuredhughes]

^ That would be stellar if they release these again.

I have a feeling tomorrow won't be the last time these are available for retail.

 

[grapeape]

LOL I'm laughing at the $370 price tag just like I'll be laughing at any other price rage that much or more. If we were fine waiting for retail when there were $190 pre orders that people still received, a price WAY better than yours, then I doubt we will be the people that are buying the "800-900" dollar pairs. Some of us are fine missing 1 freakin release. Cool shoe and all, but nothing makes these worth $370 to me lol.

interesting... they were intended to be a extremely limited release

lots of ways. those price hikes that are happening alot more than they used to are just one way they do it. ppl complain about the increased prices but we know damn well most are happy to cop retros at retail. also they decrease quality, whihc brings in even more revenue for them. These are just basic ways they do it, they probably do even more thigs to increase revenue that we dont know about.

to insure that they make that same amount of revenue plus more next year... prime example OPEC

if no ones there y not lol. but if nba store gave out wristbands that would suck for the guyy throwing chairs.

I think you may be misreading what they mean by "initial" - When I first read it I thought they used that term because its different from the original release (not identical -- ie initial)..

IMO these look better with the shiney patent and gum bottoms then the one they pictured. Maybe its just that picture but these 2013s are fire.

 

[imjustakid97]

Need some goons to back me up! all my friends are either sleeping or refuse to go lol so I was trying to find someone to go with

 

[mark081990]

PLUS lets be real Kicks on Fire doesnt know jackshhittt about an upcoming release of these after this weekend. Literally nobody (reputable or non-reputable) has mentioned

If youre talking about the NBA Store I think its pretty clear that youre about 12 hours late.
