For what it's worth I spoke to an employee today at the HOH in the Galleria here in Houston and he told me they have 18 pairs of these...by comparison he told me they had roughly 100 of the Chicagos...so I think these are going to be pretty tough to get!!The leather quality on these looks perhaps the best of any 1 since the Banned and RTTG. Maybe better even? I think that's driving the hype too. Bottom line is when the Knicks dropped not many of the newer generation cared about 1's. At this point Nike has set it up for maximum demand. Jeters, frags, DSM, NYC, Chicago's.... Almost all of these have been limited and the perception of how limited these are has the resellers buying out FSRs and everyone fearing the worst.
FWIW, I don't think FTA's allocation necessarily means these are super limited, or any more so than Chicago's were at least. With Eastbay, FTL and FA all under one umbrella, allocations arent consistent on every release. FTA isn't that company's most prestigious brand. Looks like a good amount of HOH will have them. I'm starting to think this release may be on par with Black/White or Shadow numbers.
