At this stage, youtubers early reviews of these are basically just a huge communication campaign for fineline. fineline probably just gave away the pairs
One thing also that indicates this release might be a GR is the fact that many "famous" youtubers (sneakerlufe, sneakerheadinthebay) get them early (I'm assuming they are legit). They seldom have limited releases this early. Just my 2 cents. Correct me if I'm wrong.
