if u want a win .. u gotta make it a win
Yea, i accounted for everything as far as taxes and shipping go. But take sneakerpost.com for instance, any site thats based in the US that sell any XIs early, you can almost be sure that would sell for at least a good 60~100 above retail, cause they know the demand is there in the states. Sites in europe however, almost always sell for retail, cause ppl over there do not go crazy for the XIs like Americans do. Anyway, these are just my obervations, could be totally wrong here.Originally Posted by WhatisLove
Well, I thought the lower prices were due to them not charging taxes on US orders (because they don't have to). On the flip side, they offer free shipping within the UK, so they try to make up for it I think.Originally Posted by eddo1005

It is to my understanding that the XIs dont sell nearly as fast as they do here in the states, i would say 70% of europe dont even care. For the record, i am just stating what i have read in the past. Most of these europe sites that sell CG are gonna end up shipping most if not all of them to the US.
You can kinda tell by how europe sites have them available early and at a lower cost even after shipping is included that the demand isnt nearly as high in europe.
I'm pretty sure between the major shoe forums that have posted these links that they're all coming here to the states (which would possibly explain why CT is taking so long... gotta' fill out customs forms and stuff for all of them). I just think that, regardless how unpopular they are in Europe, having the US just obliterate a couple of big website stocks is going to cause some sort of shortage of CG's over there.
Totally makes sense man. The cheapest US site I have seen was 260. Most are 275-310 which is crazy.Originally Posted by eddo1005

So far everyone has said they fit like the Sapce Jams which to me were crazy tight. all my OG XI's were 11.5 but I could hardly fit my foot in the SJ's in an 11.5. I went to a 12 on the CGs.
I got the same e-mail. We must of ordered our kicks right before the big batch of sizes sold out. In other words we're probably be the last to get our shipping confirmations.Originally Posted by DonJuan23
I emailed them they said my order was successful and would be shipped out asap
