Wooooaaaaahhhhh..
I think you took my words wrong.
What I'm talking about for European releases are all based on facts. I've been to Europe twice and have made some great sneaker connections. 3 people...2 in the UK, 1 in Germany help me out often on kicks. That is how I know about certain sneaker releases in Europe not having as a huge a splash as they do in the US. You gauging hype in the US is based on nothing factual. So no, I do not see the fail in that.
Yes...I know what an opinion is. What is it with NTers that they get sensitive when people DISAGREE with their opinion. That is all I did...disagree. Isn't the whole point of a sneaker message board to share and discuss opinions, whether they are consistent or not?
