Most should get it but I feel for 10.5 and up as they are the ones who’ll have a harder chance.

If they are truly in fact 100% Authentic how is it FC is selling for below the MSRP of $210, three weeks early? 
Only explanation I can think of IS FTL Inc has shipped the FC stores with some legit pairs and FC can do what they want with em. Since FC and FTL basically the same company, FC making profits regardless.

It’s not FC directly. It’s consignment like stockx.If they are truly in fact 100% Authentic how is it FC is selling for below the MSRP of $210, three weeks early?

Wouldn't the sellers of those pairs make zero profit selling for less than msrp, especially after FC takes their fee?

A lot of the pairs overseas in Asia are about $190 USD retail after exchange rates. Some people are able to get employee discounts and/or store sales (like in Korea) and so that likely brings it down to $160-170 USD

Got my size 9 on Flight Club this morning. Paid extra for a pre-verified pair that will be shipped out tomorrow. $255 all in. Happy to get them early.
Only need Yellow Toe and Chicago 1s and Chicago 2s from JB for the rest of the year.

Exactly.
I’m betting that most of the people talking about how plentiful and easy to get for retail these are going to be aren’t a size 11.5.
…the size from hell.

Forgot to mention Cardinal 7s, I’ll be getting those. Yellow Toe 1s are the only non-OG Jordan I’m picking up this year though.

Grabbed a pair from GOAT yesterday and already got DHL tracking from Japan. Wild.
Knowing they’re sitting in Japan and that they came from a “GOAT partner” makes me feel much better about the authenticity.

As has been said many times in this thread (and all over NT), In addition to what dude said after your post (employee discounts, etc.) don't forget that some people get these for free via various methods: theft, via stolen credit cards, etc. etc. Meaning, no matter what they sell for....they still get a profit.

Most pairs from retailers go direct to consumer aka stockx. Especially those asia pairs

Lol good ol Niketalk
The Asia market, where these released, makes more selling at 200 on US platforms than they do in their own market. Simple.

Flight club pair came in, seem like a China pair from the size sticker on the insole
My cool grey 11s from FC had the same thing, it was in CM, not the standard US sizing. The box didn't have the MSRP sticker either which make sense
What is the factory code on your size tag? [LN4,LN3,LNM,SZ]
FC wants $225 shipped in my size, and GOAT wants $246. I might cop early just to avoid bull**** on release day.

I’m saying the dollar amount differs from currency rate.
I got Black Cement 4s in Asia for $174US. So if you’re in Asia flipping on a United States platform. You make money.

I'm thinking GOAT full on owns and operates FC, and FC is just a front end brand at this point.

Anyone who got these early have the Tinker 3s (white/black/fire red) can compare them? Put mine back in rotation recently, and find the EP to be reasonably low compared to the BC and other pre-remastered versions as of late. Shape isn't as sleek as the newer 3s, but overall pretty decent shoe IMO.
