So I was able to cop a pair the morning of the release off the JD sports website.
I hit up my local mall at 11 am when the opened and tried Footlocker, Champs and Shoe Palace and all said they didn't get them. I then went into JD Sports and they had them behind the counter, but the sales person said they were for raffle winners only... I never knew there was a raffle for these, I knew it was a lie as there was a kid in there with his dad trying on different sizes, but I didn't care as I had already secured my pair, so I just left.
Later that day my wife decided she needed to go to the mall so I decided to go and try JD sports again. Sure enough this time they had them sitting out and i was able to get another pair in person. I tried cancelling my online order and they said they couldn't because it had been processed. I'm now planning to either return a pair, or I don't mind letting it go for retail plus shipping if anyone is looking for a Sz. 8.5? Tracking says they will be delivered Friday.
