Yes and no. IMO, Saucony is playing their hand perfectly on this one. They have so much momentum built up that they intentionally made the initial online release limited in order to give the feeling of a hyped collab, even though it's a GR. Now as more are trickling out, people are scooping them up almost out of desperation. If they were widely available on Saucony.com people would have time to wait and see if they go on sale, etc. Instead people are in panic mode with a buy now, think later mentality.Oh, of that I'm quite sure. But I went straight bonkers for three weeks back in April tracking blogs, twitter, NT, etc, trying to cop ZX Flux Prisms, striking out over & over & over, and I really don't want to be repeating that nonsense again for something that was supposed to be an "easy cop" GR. I mean, if we're going through this now, can you imagine how batty it'll be for the Suede Pack Jazz in a couple months now that S&S fury is full-tilt? I'm thinking this is becoming the new reality for all old school retros/"original" runners, whether they're Saucony, Asics, Adi, NB, etc.
