After 3+ agonizing weeks of waiting, I finally received my Royals from Czech. Box received some damage but shoes are intact, very impressed with the quality.

Whether this info is accurate or not, these posts are much more useful than 95% of the **** that gets posted. It's funny when people get offended by members trying to share any info.

This i would believe- someone dropping SOLID numbers-instead of avoiding the question and giving loose info that could be speculation afaik.
a potential drop of 1,000 pairs is possible.
To me this aint no restock/relaunch- its game playing and teasing-there is minimal chance of grabbing a pair during this apparent next drop.

Very upset the way the box arrived but W/E... can't really complaint about getting a pair of DS shoes close to retail (Paid $195). But will send a suggestion to Quees for future shipments. They'll have to do a better job packaging items that will be on international route.^^ wtf were they playing soccer with the box...?...glad you got your pair,and shoes are intact fam.**** the box,it doesn't matter...same thing happened to my DOUBLE BOXED order from snipes and i live in europe,lol...less damage though.BTW...snipes has a terrible customer service...some of the boxes they send me arrived damaged(one box lid torn in half) and tried to contact them about the damage,made a vdeo plus photos that i send them and they still waiting for response from DHL cause its 'their fault' not snipes's.i havent heard from them in like 2 weeks.terrible customer service.Caliroots cancelled an order of mine 3 weeks ago and as soon as i told them they gave me a discount coupon instantly..

No offence taken bro- you got your info- i got mine. Just trying to be a realist.
But again- you avoid answering the pertinent question- how many pairs have your connects seen in the warehouse?? a pair? a size run? 1,000? 5,000?
I understand you have come correct with info in the past-and i aint calling you a liar- I just want some clarification as to how many pairs have been held back- because you aint giving it.
Also re: total pairs- how many pairs of lebron corks would you estimate were made??
I'd suggest these were as widely, if not more so, available than royal 1's.
And there aint no way 25k of these were made.
I would suggest that this is straight up similar numbers to banned 1 release.
Initially hovered around 250-300- everyone thought there'd be a wider release- this never happened- stock dried up and now you paying through the nose for them.

FTL restock 
- I believe all your info but FTL didn't have them on their site.
Anyway used all 3 armor all products to clean and protect my royals. Also put tape over the NA. Lets not act like that wasn't a 15 minute job. The tape in that small area near the heal I was like cmon wish the insole was removable

What if 25k pairs made, and only 15,000 released
Either way, dude won't know the numbers like that. Places are really secretive with their numbers

CaptainSneakerhead.. Gotta say. Day before release when there was mass confusion as to if FNL will release them or not (I was the one who got the DM saying they would late Friday around 10pm)-- I was on the phone with FNL customer service reps all throughout the day correcting my winners circle points and asking about Royals. 1 rep I spoke with said it is a limited release and FNL will have ABOUT 50 pairs for sale.
I thought the rep was an idiot until realizing afterward that that was actually a lot considering a lot of stores didnt even get a FSR. Now to say they held back a 1000 is a little outrageous. No doubt though that they held back pairs. 1k is just unrealistic. Maybe a few FSR's though

What confuses me is JB came right out and said the black/gold 1s are a QS but they didn't for the Royals.
