I think that we can all agree that this higher volume limited-release is much better than the prior lower volume limited releases. Hopefully Nike follows this strategy with all future OG retros, especially the IV Bleds. Higher production volume is a win-win for the consumer and Nike!
FYI, I called 5 mins. ago for size 11.5 and the CSR told me they have more than 10 left. I didn't cop because they wanted to add CA sales tax. I thought EB didn't charge CA sales tax, but I stand corrected.
My guess is that this was a larger than normal restock due to the double-order glitch on release day. Can you imagine how many shoes were shipped in error and later returned to inventory?
Yeah, that beats the guy who bought 16 on release day. But the difference is that 100+ pairs is obviously a reseller.
I wouldn't rule out NDC for a major restock. The returns have to go somewhere.
I checked out today too, but I also did on release day when they later cancelled my order.
Remember to check your order status throughout the day under "MOST RECENT ORDERS" of your "MY ACCOUNT" page. Hopefully all orders go through but I wouldn't feel completely good about it until I receive...
I agree. Anyone spending this much for sneakers should expect it. I just inspected my new $80 Asics running shoes and they are flawless. If Asics can do it at nearly a third of the price point, then certainly Nike could.
I can understand keeping that many if the midsoles could last forever. But they will all crumble eventually and there's nothing anyone can do to prevent it.
I believe that I'll be able to wear my one pair fine until the midsoles crumble. So in 15 years all of these shoes will be unwearable...
