This is true and JB's plan for some of the more hyped releases, but my "friend" said for not hyped retro's like these they would continue to do their big number, one time release, as they knew they would still sell out but be able to appease the general public. Pretty much this release was supposed to be the opposite of the 13's earlier this month, but it's the exact same. The blk/red 11 and 13 will both have second release days with the date known ahead of time, similar to the raptor 7 re-release. At least 5-10 days out, you will know when and where those will go on sale. These 5's were supposed to follow their other option/model of dump em all out at once to hold people over between hyped releases.

Exactly. This is a full GR as opposed to the hold back GR for releases that score high enough on their hype-o-meter. BRed XI and Olive IX dropping ASG weekend is a good example. I'm sure we're going to see BRed XIII and maybe even the Chicago I's drop again later in the year. Unless we're talking about a super limited release (which outside of the DB's there hasn't been in over a year), I'm not even worried if by some chance I don't hit on RD. So much stress dudes put themselves through. The only release in the past year that I didn't get on RD was the Chicago I's and I got those for $20 over retail last weekend. I think if everyone took a step back and looked at the reality of the situation, they'd see that there's nothing to get worked up about, you will probably get your pair now or later if you want them for retail or barely more.

Comes back to the same reason shape is often off from previous retros or OGs. Their molds suck, so the proportions are often off by a bit. Usually it seems running big.

I hate this ticket bs...... You got a whole bunch of kids who get their tickets and try to resell them. Then on release date the employees get all shady with the left over pairs. Should be fcfs.

I'm going to take this as sarcasm since you're from Houston....even though I don't know why you would make that comment.

The sizes vary depending on the sneaker and with each release. Who wants the wrong size and have to worry about trading, flipping or taking out insoles. That's why people ask.

I'm new here and was wondering if I should buy these at midnight or try to get them on saturday I live in the burbs, not sure if that helps me. Will I be able to get these if I show up 30 minutes after the store opens (have work that morning). Also I'm a size 11.5 was wondering if that size usually sells fast.
