I'm surprised these didn't even release overseas. Thought they would have a chance at a QS release also.

They only put out these shoes to promote that JB Classic game at Barclays Center. I really think they only made between 500 to 1000 pairs total after looking at the breakdown of stores that carried these a couple pages back. Which would only equal 50 to 100 full size runs

^^^ did she become your fiancé after sending them to you? 
how the hell did you get them so fast. Probably got the only (2) 12s the store had.

And also Alp and GrapeApe, I think Nike is clamping down on shady business practices. After seeing this article I find it hard to believe Nike's reason for ending their accounts with these local mom and pop shops they've had accounts with for 20+ years. I'm sure there was something going on. If I were a manager I'd be afraid of losing my job over something like this.
Nike is giving the boot to several small, local retailers. Without explanation.
CBS3 first reported Friday afternoon that the athletic wear company told select area stores that as of June 30, their accounts are being cut off. The reason why remains unclear.
Business owners throughout the Philadelphia and Camden regions have received emails from the sporting apparel and footwear company saying that the retailer is "exercising its right to terminate your accounts." It's unknown whether Nike is taking the same approach with stores in other cities.
Keith Sherman, store manager of the three Real McCoy Athletic Footwear locations throughout the region (in Olney, on Cecil B. Moore Avenue and in Camden), says Nike products account for 75 to 80 percent of his store's sales. "Those numbers are staggering," he said over the phone Friday.
Even more mysterious is the manner in which Nike is handling the situation.
"We had scheduled a meeting at the Nike Headquarters in Portland, Oregon with our sales rep," Sherman said. "And that meeting was canceled that day — they wouldn't even see us," he added. The account termination email arrived in store owner William Chung's inbox shortly after the canceled meeting in Portland. The notice listed "no reasons whatsoever" as to why Nike was severing ties with the shop. Sherman says Real McCoy Athletic Footwear has been doing "good business" with Nike for over 23 years.
Currently, small "mom-and-pop" shops like Top Shoes, Center City Sports and Shoe Plus are among the only known stores affected.
Nike said in a statement released to CBS3:
“Nike is constantly evaluating its distribution needs with a view to enhancing its brand. This includes adapting our distribution strategy to the changes in our consumers’ purchasing behavior, the retail landscape, and our brand strategy.”
Nike did not return our request for comment on Friday. More to come.

I bet there's something else going on. They probably don't even release all the heat they get. Probably go straight to eBay or friends and family.

Hope locobans and everyone that really wants a pair gets them! Haven't seen a size 8 for sale anywhere. Anyone know if they were produced in sizes smaller than 8.5? I know of no GS sizes either but that's not abnormal.

QS really was a wrong label for these. Theyre more like a Hyperstrike release. With each store only getting a FSR, some with possibly two, very few had a chance to get these. I dont even know why JB released official pics if the supply was going to be that low.
