Oh and to clear up what quickstrike means for you newbies.
It means that they will not have complete release info until the week before releasing, like which stores will have it. Also it means that they will release to only exclusive accounts in limited amounts. Finishline will probably only have them for the top 200 stores in the nation just like they did with the infrareds.
I can guarantee you that none of the major chains know right now which stores are getting them. My connect at Champs dont know yet and he shoots me out info as soon as he gets it.
Quickstrikes are usually more limited in production numbers than a "general release"...true...
And...false on the major chains not knowing which stores are getting them...they drop on August 13th...the stores have been determined, however that does not mean that every store manager knows/doesn't know that they are getting them...

Thanks for clearing the misinformation up.
