Were there people lined up outside thinking they would release the unclaimed pairs after the pick up time? How many pairs did they have?

Random thoughts:

I really really like the iridescence. Kind of like a colorful 3M but subtle and well suited for the MP colorway.

The swoosh isn't painted on like usual flyknits. It also has a slight shimmer to it.

The flyknit is THICK. I expect it to be durable for on court use but I worry about the longevity when I read about how thin the outsole is. Guess I won't wear these outdoors too much for casual use.

Used to feeling plastic/synthetic carbon fiber on nike shoes now a days. This feels more authentic/plated.

Is this the insole?

You can see the slight variation of color for both left shoes. That's the beauty of flyknit.

I feel really bad for those who lined up, looked like about 40+ deep then they Re-Rsvp, smh. I would hate to wait out there for 3+ hours and they don't tell you a damn thing. I would say they had 30+ pairs of tiffs and about 20+ of the Kobe's

yeah see this is something that people just dont understand yet about flyknit. some of the individual colors are more 3m than others and in different lights the shoes can look really different. bravo man great pic up, im trying not to be salty right now! lol

P.S........GO TO HELL NIKE!!!!

Most Pre-Order sites/auctions rarely come through..

I'm thinking about starting up a legit pre-order side business.  We'll see...

Was Nike SF the only store that re-RSVPd for the MPs?

Good thing I didn't drive out there. What time did you go pick up? If you got there early then 20+ is not a lot so the re-RSVP must've had a small amount left over.

I think DC did also.

MY GOD!...theres so many size 10 and 12 and 14 on ebay!..crazzy!...wheres all the sz 13s?...lol

[jflick]

My boy just copped my pair (size 11) at NT Chicago, 5 mins ago, they still had a fsr and had multiple pairs of size 11 and 12, didnt ask about other sizes and its one pair per customer. Glad I have people in Chicago since we didn't get anything here in Indy.

I gotta stay out of this thread. I'm tight I missed these but 4 pairs of Tiffs makes up for it

I'm glad to see dudes eat in this thread. Seems like a lot of success stories

I see quite a few people selling for around $350 in my local craigslist sneaker group today. Prob would have been good to check there beforehand.
