Well, they had this code, which brought them to 115 shipped. So it was worth the risk to me.This isn't the first time I've seen someone say they preordered these. No offense, but why would anyone do that before we've actually seen the shoe? I know J Crew's on a roll and they rarely miss, and I know you can always cancel the preorder if it turns out you don't like them, but it still seems weird to me.
Eh, it happened. 115 shipped. Guess you missed it but they did it for all NB for a few days. Lots of people finally got their wish for disounted pebble blues. It was a good day. We also figured they may be cancelled, yet when they changed the release date yet AGAIN, I had to email to say I still wanted them...and that rep seemed pretty thrilled I wasnt going to cancel but who knows. I don't THINK these will be any type of limited release BS, so it really doesn't hurt them to honor it. They cancelled peoples indy preorders to be "fair". Meh.Originally Posted by fatboyfresh1973
I dont buy that. Using a coupon for a preoder sounds too good to be true. Im sure a stylist or rep for jcrew would have said a coupon for a preorder would not apply Especially on a new balance. I wouldnt be suprised if those that used coupons for ultramarines get cancled. I can barely find a coupon for the colors that have been on jcrew for years let alone a unreleased colorway.
The 998 ultramarine was known as an upcoming release for months, before concrete jungles hit IIRC. So when they dropped that code that worked on all NB, some enterprising friend called them up and applied it to the Ultramarine. It worked. Given Jcrew NBs are almost always worth 110, some people preordered. They did not put out any email or anything, and no, no picture. But ultramarine, jcrew+998+110=profit? Pretty educated risk. Def joked about being a hypebeast, but Im also frugal. Oh well, if I dont like them JCREW has an excellent return policy so I don't see anything hypebeast about that...maybe if I waited for blogs and ad campaigns to call them "limited" et al, then pay resale to some dirtbag who knows nada...then I can see it haha. But yeah, thats how it went down.Originally Posted by chrisMatiC413
when did the ultramarine preorder go live? ive been on the jcrew email distribution list, so i assumed i wouldve gotten something on it. i still need to see pics, but would like to know how to get info on upcoming preorders for the future.
