too all of those that said the eggplant flightposites were a big deal, maybe they sold well, but they didn't sell out...there's still a whole lot of pairs out there. as far as these foamposites compared to the original rerelease of the Ones - those were amazingly difficult to find simply because only a handful of stores got them and the numbers were really low. The eggplants were a 'general' release in that a whole lot of mainstream stores got them, which means that a whole lot of them must have been produced, and do remember that this is a $200 shoe. besides collectors, who would buy these? and, are there really enough collectors to buy out every footlocker/footaction/etc? I like them, I want them, but I'm honestly very surprised that they're no where to be found
the eggplants were definitely a success. the reason why there are still some pairs lying around is coz mom and pop shops are trying to charge$250 plus for a pair and due to the fact we are in a recession. the royals were still available in some areas when those released also if you looked hardenough..so what are you trying to say? anyone who had money to spare copped these whether they were a "collector" or not.
on top of that..the royals were a QS..so people were hustlin to find em. the eggplants on the other hand..had a lot of people prepared for them. so how canyou say this release was a failure? tell you what..find me size 10s or 10.5s right now for retail..then you can tell me the release was a flop.
I wasn't feeling that varsity.. word
