As far as all these sites on line selling these as a pre relsease from asia. Its all a scam. Who knows how these people get them. They are not the final product chosen by nike to distrube officialy to accounts for the international release and hopefuly future us release, they are some how taken from the factory to sell. They are so non lagit. They are close to the real thinng but not the real thing. They were made by the same machines side by side, but they are stolen, or b grades, or batches grabbed off the machines by workers who then sell them to these sites in asia. They are not officialy chosen, inspected, or tagged, most of the sited dont even have the box to go with it because they were grabbed so early down the production line. On top of this the sites are selling for redicules prices.
Personaly in the future I know I would rather have not gotten my hands on a pair of these but known I looked as hard as I could to get a pair fianaly from a us release or from a legitamte seller internationaly after the official release date, rather knowing I didnt get the leget things and got some sketchy shoes from asia before the release without a box and different dates on the tags inside and struff.
As for a future release in the us. I am sure they will def show up at some official retailers and websites, but will most likely be very limited, would basicly be extra from overseas.
