Nigel is heavily affiliated with them. He will be there during the release to do a signing.

No I went and copped them @ UNDFTD Silverlake.
The UNDFTD dunks ran big tho. I know the White/Gum pair fit me like I coulda went 10.5. The Ballistics fit funny still. They hurt in the heel area and feel off like my foot slips but the toe area is perfect.
God I love those dunks.

Premier always makes things look great with there pics. I could be viewing a shoe on their site that I otherwise would've never gotten but their pics for whatever reason would make me think otherwise. lol

So they are coming in the same box as the CNY? Not the half&half box, interesting.

I'm starting to get a bad feeling
Lol so am I. I'm thinking these are gonna do YOTH numbers in terms of availability and resell value, maybe even less (availability) and more (resell). I remember on the YOTH release day I told myself they were gonna be everywhere like the Premier Hi's, boy was I wrong.
Lol QFT! They do take some beautiful HD shots, as does MIA. I almost always wait to see those two shop's pictures before I cast judgement of something not looking good but as you said, it can be misleading at times too

It was never EASY to find GS sizes in general when it came to quickstrike SBs (as already specified they may sit at the rare skateshop that actually got tiny sizes or if they're gone, they're gone). But atleast back in 06-08 when I was at my collecting peak, you could actually find them from time to time and the RESELL WAS NOT MORE THAN MENS SIZES ON RECENT RELEASES.
But when it came to the Tiff drop, I was so dumbfounded. $700, 800? 1000+?!? Are you kidding me?
I feared that finding SBs in my size, in general had become a lost cause. Copping the YOTH was also a fail til I lucked out from a call to a random skate shop that luckily had my size... but this was a month after the drop.
I'm glad to hear that the hype of SBs as of now is relatively falsely inflated due to the Tiffs. If they settle back down to "normal" levels... I think I'll have a better chance of finding my size, and not having to pay ridiculous amounts on the secondary market. Because as of right now that's what it is. Resellers will charge more for GS sizes.
The appeal of SBs to women has never been of question to me. The dunk is a simple, very unisex shoe and the colorways can be bright and fun... designs that women would like to wear and appeal to. So yes, I know women collectors are out there, I just didn't remember the competition being this fierce.
You can't compare anything prior and maybe after the Aqua dunk release as that was a monster of its own.
You had each and every hypebeast from all corners of the climate descend upon that release. Resellers, JB heads, Supreme hypes, etc. I mean this thread was chuck full of regular NT posters who NEVER showed their face in here. Along with them came the hype GFs that like to match their BFs or the JB girl sneakerheads that think the colors are "cute" Smaller sizes I think have always been more limited but sat longer because not many people who normally wear SBs are that size or because they might be young, growing kids probably outgrow the shoe size fast.
Also remember not all QS or HS come in small sizes. If I remember correctly the smallest size for the HS blue denim Levis dunks was an 8.
YOTH was another example of hype. Seems anything cloaked in all red is getting scooped up thanks to yeezus. Add to that the fact that NDC is selling QS and regular SBs online. Don't think that just because NDC carries SBs they're making more. It seems that they're just pulling from the allotment of some mom & pops. My local has been getting screwed with QS this year as they've received 1 size run or less of QS.

Haha you got a valid point. Yea if there's a shoe that you think looks great, usually Premier will make the shoe pop even more.

for the GS argument too, America gets screwed over on the GS sizing when it comes to online retailers. EU usually gets a much larger size run then we do. But they fly fast because of the resellers.
