[skep]

Must have! Hope I don't miss out on em

 

[executive76]

Doesn't say anything about availability. Hope they aren't limited.

 

[skep]

They are very limited

 

[rodrigofresh]

500 Pairs

 

[skep]

So disappointing. Really hope I get em

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

500 pairs? 

 

[executive76]

500 Pairs

Where are they releasing?

 

[qboogie]

Both the Navys and Olys dropping in August? Fila got my $ that month.

 

[qboogie]

anybody got word on the GH 1s though ???

 

[noblekane]

500 Pairs

are you sure about this?

 

[supremekickz]

500 pairs? 

If this is true, get ready for some pandemonium!

 

[skep]

Yes it was confirmed from the finish line rep in this thread

 

[noblekane]

it doesnt even sound right. i understand you want buzz to sell future colorways but 500 is way too short of an amount to make a profitable buzz...

it would be stupid for fila to limit a shoe like that to 500

how many pairs did the white navy have? those practically sold out everywhere and even made some fools buy the terrible black/white pair but once the hype died down the black white pairs sat like a fat man at a buffet table..

maybe 500 for finishline? then other stores? damn ill believe it when i see it.

then again isnt the other og colorway releasing that same month?

 

[Ja's 2¢]

500!?!? :x My childhood shoe finally retros and I won't even have a chance. Fila you lame for that

 

[skep]

Other stores didn't get them. And filas already released the shredders in limit quantities.. of 600. Don't doubt it.

 

[titalwaves]

SMH...boy boy.

I'm sooo glad that I'm not interested in picking up the Oly GH2's...Just to think back on how tuff it was to get the OG re-released is stressful.

I literally kept a lo-jack on any new information surrounding that particular sneaker.

 

[dreamteamusa]

For those with very small feet Kickzstore has the OG colorway of the Fila 96s for $65 shipped.

http://www.kickzstore.com/collections/fila/products/fila-mens-96-grant-hill-2

sizes 7 and 7.5 only

NobleKane-

 I really have no idea where you get your info from-

Anyways- 500 Pairs of the USA Joints are set to drop... and no, not 500 for FINL, 500 for the Market.

Market = World. 

- Fresh

 

[noblekane]

it is my opinion not info. it seems pretty stupid for a company who is STRUGGLING in the US market to not capitalize on a retro craze when they just saw their OG white/navy colorway fly off shelves and online sites? we are not talking about some ninja turtle themed shoe here. it is a popular model with a USA basketball theme.

if it is indeed only 500 pairs whoever handled this release on fila's part needs to be fired. you are in the business world to make money.

this isnt exactly the fila stackhouse. this is arguably fila's best shoe model.

I heard it was 240 pairs? With that said, I was able to double up on those. And could have copped on karmaloop and Nick.com as well. Filas aren't that in demand, and I doubt the Olympics have more hype than the OGs
