Just to touch base on the last 24 hours worth of news (Again I am just a third party source passing on info which is not %100 solid but an idea of what is happening with the release of the sneaker):
A lot of what is going on is because of what happened with the Galaxys. The near riots were no joke and Nike took A LOT of heat. The videos of people waiting a over a month for the Yeezy 2 was not taken lightly and the feel is that Nike doesn't want that to be the situation for everyone who wants a pair.
This sounded like a reach to me but Nike may actually send out memos for how each store should handle the release of the shoe.
As for the postponement it might be legit but the shoe is still expected to have an April release (Remember the Galaxys didn't pop up until 2 weeks before launch). The possibility of it being an unannounced release is highly unlikely. I personally dont think it would be possible because TOO many people would have to keep their mouths shut if and when these make it to retail stores. I sort of can see it happening but the moment any store gets their shipment the news will spread.
Several Foot Locker stores are STILL expected to receive the sneaker.
