Ya this guy is talking about one specific store (boutique, not a major retailer) that has a few pairs they are putting out for sale to their local customers. This is not e restock or a re release. They held pairs, and now they are selling some to generate hype/business/awareness. How are you guys not seeing what TS is saying?
A Re-release is done at major retailers and has a planned, calendar release date. A restock is when the company that makes the product has more of the product in their warehouse and ships them to their accounts to refill the stock in their store (online included of major retailers). What TS is talking about is neither of these, just a local boutique in Canada that held back some pairs (like Moe's did in NYC but not at those stock levels) of releases over the past 14 months and are putting some out on shelves.
This is the same thing that new HoH and Niketown stores do when they have their grand openings. They will have maybe a FSR of releases from the past 12-18 months to generate hype about the stores release and to get the place packed out the first day. If you live near this guy in Toronto, then lucky you, go grab ya some sneakers you missed. Otherwise, you'll need to hop a plane if you want any of these.

Here is a pic of their display. The few pairs of Concords they have release Jan 19th for $209, and all of the shoes in the pic will have some pairs for sale by March. Pretty cool of this store to do, wish we had one like this near me.

Yea this is it. I'm pretty sure they wont sell out that fast cause I got the flint xiii's and cement iii's a month after they restocked back in 2011.

Depending on which city you live in, I dont think it's worth coming to Toronto for the shoes unless you want to visit for a couple of days
The store is called Today's Sportswear and there's a few of them in Toronto. The pic of the display case is from the store in Pacific Mall (huge Asian mall) located in the Toronto metropolitan area. Phone number is (905) 479-3019 .

it seems smart now, but in the long run more supply = less demand. JB knows this

I have tried to explain the business reasoning behind this. How marketers have it down to a science. I know this from my one marketing class. I could only imagine how good people who work for a large marketing firm for years are at this. But it is truly pointless explaining it. A bunch of people with next to no business knowledge/background will argue their false counterarguments to death and truly believe what they are saying is true.
Just let it rest.

Business and rational logic is pretty much lost on the vast majority on here. We're talking about teenagers and hood rats who just want to voice an opinion with nothing behind it.
