You complain about the quality compared to previous releases but since when have you known a sequel to be better or even equal to the original??? SMH, LMAO! Y'all crazy as hell but y'all still cool I guess, its all part of this sneaker community.
What a revelation! Thank you so much for pointing out the fact that people whine and complain in every new release thread. No one noticed at all! What would we do without YOUR "long ***" story complaining about people complaning?

yeah it's not even that deep. reselling has been of the culture and everyone is a potential reseller, there's just more people into it now since the concords thats it. just have to accept it lol
 
Wow. Size refunded me and I made $5 on the refund. I paid 185 and they refunded 190. Exchange rate is crazy.

Ok, so snipes normal site only has one size left, but the mobile site has a FSR. I can't figure out how to use PayPal on the mobile site either...
 
No camping out for me. Woke up at 9am, drove to Serramonte to see if I can snag an extra pair for trade baits and was able to get a pair at Shoe Palace. Drove to NikeSF and picked up my 2 RSVP'ed pair. Then spent the rest of the day with the fiancee and enjoyed the beautiful weather in SF.

Gotta love this cats between 23-28yrs old buying 3-4 pairs, only to catch them waiting at a bus stop...

QFT. All of those sequels were WAY better than the originals


Way better is an overstatement with Terminator and the Godfather, because it's a matter of opinion
The Bourne trilogy...now series is one you can use.

Side note: Wake up this morning to 2 emails with shipping confirmations for orders (size 13 for me, 12 for a friend) on Finish Line.  They actually did their thing on this release..I was expecting cancellation messages. 

  
 
Ordered off size? About 30 mins ago...only 1 sz was in stock...checked out...paid for...went back to see if any were left,all sold out


Finishline is notorious for Monday morning restocks after rd...keep your eyes peeled
 
Ok so 1st things 1st I retract my previous post about these being TRUE TO SIZE.
briefly tried them on and thought they were.
so to FDH and others you were right. They ARE a half size big.

I just played ball in these ( I play ball in my CDP taxi's, Rising Suns and Red/White from a few years ago) and these I would say are ON PAR
with all the other 3. They are obviously a little stiff being new but they DO have full length ZOOM AIR and they have the same spoungy feel as the other 3.
They did crease up pretty bad on the white part and its to be expected but they are a little wose than I thought they would be after 1 wear.

guess i'll be wearing 2 pairs of socks next wear!!!

Reading comprehension.

You're talking to a guy that already got a pair a week ago from the store up the block.

This isn't about internet servers keyboard cowboy. This is about the entire process. People wouldn't be FLOODING websites or "camping out" if they knew there was enough supply to get these with relative ease.

Even if they had to wait a week or 2 for consistent restocks.

You can't be........but you really are.
Obviously you're the moron if you think making more shoes would change the current resale/secondary market flood. You don't get it at all. Sure, you overinflate your production for a long enough period of time and shoes don't actually sell out and you're left with extra stock, then yes, the resellers will start to take it on the chin. But to get to that point Nike would have to endure a LOT of extra costs and I'm not even sure they know what that number would be.
The extra costs would only be variable, so it would still be a good idea for them to keep producing more pairs if short-term profits is their goal.

Also, remember Nike makes their money when the pairs are sold to Footlocker and other retailers. What happens after that isn't much of a concern for them.
