I tried these on today. I felt the same way. Durability seems questionable. If i can get them for $80 with a coupon or something, I'll give them a shot. Otherwise, I'll pass.
I ended up getting the Volts (I may be the only person who likes them). Waited in line on eastbay.com for like 12 minutes, and got through to checkout. I've never had that happen before. Every other time, that countdown means I'm screwed. Usually can't get anything from Eastbay.
I got 2 pairs thru NDC and was done checking out by 8:10. Chrome is 3/3 for me, including concords last year. Drove to work and was able to get a pair of Eastbay at ~10:40 despite our crappy internet connection here.
Based on how long eastbay/FNL/FL etc had stock, I'd be shocked if Nike...
Thanks for sharing the article! Interesting insight into the marketing of the shoes as well as how they time the releases to take the most advantage of their customer base. Also, those are some staggering numbers ($1.11B in profit over 6 months).

I had the same issue. Then I randomly decided to hit 'refresh' and found out they had shipped and were two stops closer. I hate my browser.
That was yesterday. They were delivered today. Very relieved.
