I agree with you. Homie is making it seem like there was plenty of anteaters to go around LOL.i dont think packer or kith got them. Not even sure extra butter got them. Quite a few stores got played on this telease unless they will get the anteaters in the next week or so this release was limited and not a easy to cop

Yeah a lot of stores didn't get them yet. Or they kept them for themselves

just caught up on a few pages and that price on the Golds is crazy ... couldn't pass it up ... had me searching the site for other hidden gems... shouts to whoever stumbled upon them

also gotta factor in that the stores that did get them seemed to only get 1 pair in each size. numbers were pretty low all around

Ok, lets run it down like this. Thedropdate has listed 19 european retailers, I know of atleast one store that got them aswell but isnt listed, so lets make it an even 20. Most of the stores that I know of got the sizerun 7-12, including halfsizes. So thats 11 pairs per store, if we assume they were only given one pair per size. If they had stuck with only the original 19 spots, that would have been 19 x 11 = 209, so pretty much 200 as it was said. But now, seeing as Europe alone had 20+ stores releasing them, thats over 200 pairs already. US probably got just as many. So I believe 400-500 pairs between Europe and US would be more accurate, if not even more.
This is just what I believe, mind. But I'd rather base my believes on simple mathematics than off resellers Ebay listings and hypebeasts Youtube reviews.

You do know not every retailer gets the exact same quantity of stock right? Ive heard of stores getting 12 pair and others getting 6 pair. I would love to hear what 20 plus shops in the US got anteaters. Especially when a store like packer didnt get them and packer was riding with saucony loooooong before the hype.the bottom line is that its not as many pairs were made as you think. I saw the list of US retailers that we all saw it was 10 stores and 3 or 4 on that list still hasnt recieved them

actually the bottom line is its usually way more pairs than you think. Releases that ACTUALLY only have 200 pairs or less are like unicorns. The only pair I have that comes to mind that is actually that limited are the overkill kangaroos. Those were confirmed 200 pairs worldwide. It is beneficial to ALL parties to "over exaggerate" how limited a sneaker is.

Who confirmed the langaroos? Let me guess overkill did right? Honestly the only way to confirm exact numbers is if the pairs are numbered like some old nike HYM product. i guess tgey made a ton of Only in Sohos too. Kangaroos were limited cuz no US retailers cared to order them. No people i know even cared about that kangaroo release they would have sat on shelves in the US unless a retailer sold them online. Point is im very pleased with my pair whether its 1of 1 or 500 pairs. Im still looking foward to you posting that list of 20 plus retailers that sold the anteaters. Cuz i could use a second pair to stock

don't wanna be mean but jazz are sneakers that sit in shelves even for 30usd. it is a great achievement they created a hype for 600-700 people(this is why 500sold out)

I have a connection at overkill and thats where i got my information. And whether kangaroos were popular or not was not the point at all.... So now you are pleased with your pair and thats the point? lol. I am just trying to let you know that there were probably more pairs of these than you would like to believe considering you own a pair and are biased. I did not state that 20 us retailers got them so i cant speak on that.

the REAL QUESTION is ....
was Nicekicks the only place selling them for the crackhead special at $100 flat?

You said US got just as many pair as europe. Unless you are saying fewer US stores recieved them vut got twice as many pair. And i dont have mine in hand yet they are on the way i guess your connect at overkill would never lie to you so .... i guess its a bunch of only in sohos that were made too

dog... enough with the Soho references in every reply lol
who cares how many were produced....
facts are:
1. getting them at retail is done
2. there are sizes on eBay if anyone wants them that bad
I know one thing tho, I'm jumping all over the Premium Pack before the lurkers turn those ***** in the Prism ZX Flux ....

Anyone ever consider reaching out to the Brand (Saucony) itself to find out numbers. They produced the sneaker, these collab affiliated stores only supply the design. If anyone would know the actual numbers produced im sure its them. Just sayin

wtf is up with you people. I am simply saying more pairs than 200 were made imo. I think thats pretty clear. If you are confused about my original statement feel free to go back and read it. I have no idea how many sohos were produced but those I believe are much more likely to have a production number closer to 200.
