5k is way too high. The LeBron EXTs (denim, hazelnuts, mints) were allegedly in that range total and were way more available. The highest I'd go for online stock is same as in store for a high total of about 3,000 pairs to a low of 2,000

Saw SS on foot last night and it looks wild and great, can't wait. Seeing it like that really does make me think twice about balling in them with the scales/spines though.

Niketown Chicago had about 10 size runs/150 pairs and they're one of the bigger locations. 10 stores got them so that's under 1500 plus NDC. I don't have any estimates for online stock though

I definitely felt like the XI was higher in the forefoot than the heel when I tried them on. Feels weird especially compared to previous LeBrons. It's not the lunarlon since it doesn't happen in Kobes

I'm starting to think Nike's forcing super high tops out specifically because of the Air Mags. It's like this convo went down with the design team in the kitchen: Designer 1- Can you believe that's what we thought shoes would look like in 2015? Designer 2- Ha, that's crazy. There's still a few...

Heh, I saw the mention of headphones and thought myself, "Just watch, I bet it's gonna some Beats, just watch. *Scrolls down* Oh, Momentums, that's actually some legitimately nice stuff, does jerkstore know what's up? Prop worthy either way. *Keeps scrolling* Oh, Martin Logan? He knows" Anyway...

Just got the call from my HoH, keep hope alive for just a little longer guys. Trying to keep the hype from getting to me before I end up with a full set

Hoping whoever said calls hadn't gone out yet because they were doing gammas first was right. I'm not generally a fan of the 3 but this colorway is incredible. If I did strike out on the raffle the hash tag on Thursday is gonna be #misery, calling it now.

The sizes look different too, which will mess with the proportions. I'm guessing the Olympic is a sample size (9.5) and the Ring Nights were supposedly only made in LeBron's size (16?)

Haven't posted in a while so these are the cops that have piled up. I'm missing my camera right now, only so much you can do with a phone XXs were from Sneakercon; D.Rose 4.0 Brenda is my go to workout shoe right now even if they did get cropped down; Prelude 1 might be the release of the year...

Shipments were delayed even more because of all the snow; HoH North Riverside just made calls today for pickup today. Heads up, prelude 1s don't run nearly as big as OG 1s. They're borderline TTS. Also, Niketown Chicago set up a big display with all 8 preludes, pretty cool. I'm guessing all...

Nike Chi did FCFS this time since it was a surprise shipment late the night before release. The rest will be through Twitter RSVP. It was probably at least 4 hours in 15 degree weather to get the 1 and the bulk of people who got their size spent more like 8 hours out there. 8 hours includes the...

I know a thing or two about retail or bust. The Prelude 1 is definitely an awesome shoe, one worth camping out for even...but not when the warmest it got was around 15 degrees. It took a couple hours for this to fully sink in and by that time I'd gone through too much misery to go home empty...

Nike Chicago only had about 30 pairs/2 size runs which makes me think about 1000 US pairs. While they are pretty sweet I'm not feeling like they're worth the hassle.

I'm picturing someone scrawling that name down as they look up flights while on their way to their local fake ID spot. In other news, should have been paying attention to twitter

At least I finally got to go to the bathroom, dat relief. Surprised by how low the success rate in here sounds, people had been getting through for the last bunch of RSVP

So slow on that one, ugh. Couldn't find it and typo'd, hit enter instead of send. What a mess. At least it's over

Like a crossword puzzle, up, down, diagonal Getting carpal tunnel over here :/

Last year Nike hosted the unveiling of the XX8 on December 3rd, months before their All Star weekend release. The goals seemed to be to get people talking/buzzing about the new shoe, give them time to warm up to its unusual and polarizing design, and to try to rationalize it with tech specs and...

My Spidy Sense starts to tingle when Nike starts dropping those irrelevant tweets. It seems like there's always a few warm ups to troll the Twitter campers but at least it's signs of life and proof they have their people ready and tweeting. INB4 my Spidy Sense has to keep on tingling for 5...
