Yeah, it's called a Fidlock. Basically a magnet with a specific shape design so that it won't come undone by natural motion. Honestly, that's probably 25% of the reason I bought the shoe...the other 25% because of Errolson's name and 50% because of looks. Hah.
That blazer was very similar to something from an early ACRONYM line piece. As far as staying warm goes, I highly recommend the Arcteryx Atom LT jacket as a very light, but warm insulating layer to wear underneath heavier shells.
The collaborating designer, Errolson Hugh (co-founder of the niche tech apparel brand ACRONYM), has gained a ton of mainstream popularity in the past couple of years. His name alone will sell the products, even though I'm not sure how much actual input he has on each and every piece. Usually...
People who just woke up and have time, you can still try. Cart limit is 10 minutes on these. Have had a lot of success buying off of released carts on SNS in general. Got a blue at release time and orange 5 minutes ago.
Definitely an impulse buy for me (just saw them on IG last night). Really nice color scheme though, so I hope they don't disappoint. Looks like they're selling well even with the wider release.
Just picked up my "Why Not?" today. These are absolutely sick in person. They look sleeker than I thought they would be. I really wish they'd release some of the other colors he wore like that orange-ish/red one that looked like Banned's.

I'd be curious to see the following pics of your shoe:
1) Inner size tag
2) Box Label (clear and up close pic)
3) Sole
4) Boost
5) Pic of the paper that comes stuffed in the shoe
6) Info on country where you purchased the pair from
You can PM me if you don't want to post them in here.
The paper looks good too as supporting evidence. It should be small in size (just enough for toe box) and should feel thin. If I recall, your size is on the smaller end, so perhaps that could be the cause of why the pull tab gap looks bigger on it.
I could see JB releasing white tongue Frags....always changing just a little. You know they're still holding out on the black tongue black toes, just trying to double dip on that colorway.
I have seen this box label + inner size tag combo before. I have seen it on boxes from another continent, specifically Japan and an example was posted here from South Africa. Do you know for a fact that these were purchased in the UK or Europe? I would like to know for informational purposes...
