Racers are a better looking shoe, but the comfort of boost, makes it a tough choice for me.

Anyone ever had trouble returning shoes ordered on adc? I returned two pairs of UB over a month ago and called CS numerous times and complain about it but they kept telling me to continue to wait for refund.

That doesn't look like it glows in the dark. Just looks 3M

Pretty sure it's just reflective 3M material not GITD

I stand corrected. 3M, not glow in the dark. Misled by title of article. My apologies.

The argument that guests are lurkers and are resellers is a point that should be explored further.
Wednesday just before midnight EST, it was posted that there were at that time "1079 Active Users (363 Members and 716 Guests)" [p. 701, #21014]. That is approximately a 2:1 guest to member ratio. Based on this, it would not be unreasonable to assume that for any given time there is approximately a 2:1 guest to member ratio.
There are three types of members and three types of guests: (1) those that are purely consumers who never resell, (2) those that are mostly consumers but resell one or more times, and (3) those that resell all the time.
I bet most folks would not find fault with the #2 type of people so we can combine #1 and #2 into one group. Conservatively, at a 33% distribution, for Wednesday the 6th at midnight EST, that's 240 of types 1 and 2 members and 120 of type 3 members compared to 476 of types 1 and 2 guests and 248 of type 3 guests. Realistically, type 3 is probably closer to 1 in 5 (or 20%) rather than 33%.
So, all guests are not lurkers/resellers, only a minority, and some members are resellers.
Wanting to exclude "lurkers"/guests is not logical but rather an emotional, knee jerk reaction to not being able to buy a limited product at a desired time.
Another viewpoint is that NT is not the sole source of when in-demand shoes are going to drop but rather one resource of many. So, to think that all resellers flock here to get an edge on purchasing shoes ahead of the average consumer does not sound reasonable.
Member or guest, what is wrong with a person being an occasional reseller who buys, for example, a pair of NMDs and reselling to make an extra $100 dollars to offset the cost of their UBs? Further, one could argue that some number of type #3 are part of a healthy market. It's good economy. No demand, no product. More demand, more options.

chop them if you like the uncaged look. Plain and simple. For me, they look like dookie without the cage.

Valid points made. I understand the economics behind reselling, as I have done it myself in the past. However, I have changed the way I view reselling, which is my own personal preference.
What irks me is that even if it's just one pair that is resold, that one pair could have been purchased by someone at retail. Taking away the supply and creating the demand for a shoe (in my opinion) takes away from the ability to build a collection. Of course, my viewpoint is my ideal scenario, but I understand this is how things will always be with a popular shoe.
I like your analysis and statistics, but you forgot to indicate the p-value to prove whether the data is significant or not.

The local footlocker over here had the Wools but sold out pretty quick. I still like the Silver LTD's over the wools

Olives are soooo nice. I'm a sucker for camo/army greens etc so these were a must have. If you can still get them i think its worth paying over retail for these. Pretty sure not everyone will share my sentiments but there it is. [emoji]9786[/emoji]
