I'm about 90% sure these will be dropped online. Cncpts just hasn't annouced anything yet. I mean the Rosé dropped was just about 12 hours ago lol

I didn't say he created hype. He made it seem as though the shoes sold out. That's creating fake sense of a sell out. Like I mentioned it's not just him, it's all these people carting shoes with no intention to purchase. Acting as if they're helping others. It's a whole host of other things as well. What I'm saying is he's not helping out in the grand scheme of things. At least that's my opinion.

So the cw on these was EZ pass for me, but glad they made so many pairs. Was half tempted to cop just to show support. If anyone honestly couldnt get them, Id really consider waiting for these savages to sit on them. Already seeing pairs at retail, and clowns wanting 350 SMH. Unless you need the smaller sizes there was plenty for all!

That "scoop" has been out for months now, just not widely shared out of respect for the source. I think it was even posted in this thread a little while back.
edit: maybe not that same pic, but the whole lineup was already out for a good minute now...

You should take a look at all the 997s this year.

But..but...not collab doe (for the record, I myself usually beast on collabs
Still think the NV was the best colorway wise. GY was nice as well, and the more I wear the PR the more I dig em.

Dog Hop Off Your SoapBox!
It's Down Right RIDICULOUS To Think That Posting Links Direct To The Retailers Website For Those Still In Need Of Locking Down A Release Day Shoe Is Somehow "Against Site Policy"
People Post Early Links To Retailer's Websites EVERY Release Day Without Issue, There's Nothing Different About What Went On In Here Today. The Fact Is, With The Production Numbers On This Particular Release, People Would've Eaten With Or Without The Work Of TND.... If Anything, He Made The Carting Process Smoother Since Most Of These Boutique Websites Aren't Advanced Enough To Handle The Traffic Flow During A Hyped Release. I Personally Am Thankful For All The Help Being Tossed Around In Here Today! Had A Feel I Haven't Experienced Since I First Joined This Community And People Actually Put Fourth Effort To Assist One Another 
In Another News, I'm Sure It's Been Answered Already Somewhere In Here But Are All Pairs Going To Come With The Special Packaging Or Just The Pairs Released In Store?

I really think exceptions should be made for "oop links". Its not a link to an auction, its not a link to some herbs reselling big cartel page where they are "helping the community" by ONLY charging 50 vice 100 over retail or doing some BS raffle or presale.
We need more people willing to help and less lurkers looking for a come up. I'm really happy with how this release went down, and I aint even cop em lol

For me, the PR was hands down the best colorway. I should've copped when they were 30% off NB's site.
I'm leaving the NV and GY out of the discussion because they're just a legendary colorway that it's already a given that they're the best.
I need to cop the DTEs before they disappear at the price they're going for

I agree with
So Much Sole 23
. The dudes that post the cart links are basically release day heroes for a lot of us. Always appreciate seeing help for the community.

I agree with this. A lot of these collab releases are now bigger than just the sneaker community. With all of these blogs out there these days, and of course social media...the shoes reach the general consumer that isn't aware of how things work. So they get up in the morning and try for shoes that shouldn't be that difficult of a purchase to begin with...but nope...with sm and others carting a great amount of pairs, it completely robs that general consumer of a shoe that they genuinely want. That's not right imho.

No idea how dudes are complaining when HUNDREDS of links were posted FOR FREE

Good job not purchasing or else u'd probably end up with buyer's remorse. I rock my shoes on the regular and I can't see myself wearing pink more than a handful of times per year.

Yeah I mean the pic of every last Cncpts collab for the rest of the year had those as well as two other NBs in the pic--but no date was ever thrown around

I'm not complaining, man. Just saying that carting a lot of the stock robs an individual that isn't aware of how things work. A general consumer who sees the shoe on social media or blogs and really wants it isn't going to know where to find these links. Luckily the stock was massive, or else there would have been a lot of upset people. Oh well I guess, right.

Glad to see most of those who wanted their 997 Rosé's were successful. 
Breakin the Cncpts' topic for a bit:

That's inaccurate. They were charging $270 and then $310 to people who had already purchased one pair. They truly go out of their way to make sure people get a pair. Anyhow it did work to scare some resellers away

i think you have to understand the business aspects before anything else.. this shoe is collab big box company and a boutique.. boutique serve in most cases "niche markets" meaning that everyone will NOT have awareness of items/goods/special edition products they carry.. this is why you see GQ covering a story like this, or even high snobiety doing write ups.. New balance providing press releases that are also carried by their affiliates
These types of releases are NOT mean't for the general consumer.. Kith included (not matter what RF says in this purpose statement videos)--is also not mean't for the general consumer.. these business are more than pleased when they can educate and convert an "everyday" shopper to a regular customer of their stores. things like this increase the stores profitability and reach..
this release did just that.. CNCPTs probably has never done anything this big and to be honest they did a dxmn good job!! No person can wake up in the morning and cop off of any shoe site successful without some type of assistance nowadays..even regular customers of these sites..
Generally speaking: I hate to pull this card but a lot of folks are really sounding upset at things in general.. i'm not sure if its that you were unsuccessful or that you struggled, but in either case just cut it out.. For what it's worth some of these members oop'ing links were the reason some of these guys in here with no posts or a super low post count were able to cop.. A LOT OF PEOPLE ATE OF THIS RELEASE.. And to be honest I haven't seen so many people helping each out PUBLICLY on this site in a long freaking time.. Today was a small win for the community if you choose to admit that or not..
