Damn despite my Miami Nights being in Chicago since 8 on Thursday night, it doesn't look like I will get them till Monday, I was really looking forward to wearing them today. FI and MN on Monday?!? My Head might explode deciding which one to wear first.

Yeah, they probably needed that Pre-Heat Tag like the FI, which is part of the reason they sold out besides the OMG, they look like that other hyped up shoe from 2 years ago.
Going to see if HoH can honor a member of the military and get 'Em for $160.

U crazy if u think the forging irons needed the preheat tag. Dudes were on them before they saw the box label.
Gammas are nice. People just have to prioritize. KP Aways FI all in a 6 week period along with the carbons lurking in a couple of weeks.
Also, Dsg offering discounts on the aways gave many people hope to cop below $200.

That's why I prioritized what I really wanted. Started off with the KP, but passed on the Aways because I knew I wanted the FI's more. Passing on the Gammas and TW's so I can get the Miami Nights and Christmas joints. Those are my Top 4. Almost a thousand bucks in a month bruh.

I agree. That's why I also said they looked liked another hyped up shoe, which is what got everyone excited. Fans of the Big Bangs thought they were the next evolution. But again the BB were a hyped up shoe too, so it was easy for Nike to get people excited.
But to say Gamma Blues aren't nice or just sitting seems ignorant. What objectively can anyone say makes the FI better than the GB? IMO, besides the KP, IMO, I think all of the color ways look good but pedestrian like the X.
It's all an opinion at the end of the day but if I were Nike they should've flip flopped the shoe volume.
Agreed. And the FI had the random price increase. Can't wait to see what they do for ASG, BHM, EXTs and the elites.

Feel like DSG giving coupons and Sneakersteal always posting shoes at Outlets for cheap has killed the resellers.

On my way to check out the Gamma XI, game time decision.

want the gammas real bad, but I am gonna try to hold off to see if I can get that discount on DSG
the blue is more of a powder blue, but I still they they are dope, they remind me of Heisenberg's Sky Blue
the worst part about the shoe is the faded swoosh, I feel like a chrome swoosh or something else would work better than that faded swoosh, regardless I think the gammas are a very nice colorway that I will be adding to my collection

Dawg......
I know you real happy you came up on a couple pairs but let's keep it 100....
Upon initial pics.... Quite a few heads up in here called the FI joints Big Bang wannabes. Said they were actually inferior to the Big Bangs. Showed total disdain for that icy sole too. Mind you just about all those that initially disliked ended up copping pairs anyways.
That PREHEAT tag & that ONLINE ONLY release got dudes in here doing 180 spins like skilled dancers. Don't gimme that "dudes been on them since day one" nonsense cause that ain't true. The Hype Bug done bit up quite a few of them. IMO, best colorway so far remains the King's Prides.....I gives a damn about hype.

Sittin here in my truck looking at these gamma's trying to like them.
Hell got em for $100 bucks. Guess they are ok. Guess i'll put em on foot and make a final decision on keeping.

Agreed.
There were a few who were crazy about the FI's from the jump
But if Nike made the KPs just as limited, there is no question what would be at the top of everyone's list.

Saw the Gamma Blue in person and I was disappointed. Picked this up from a reseller instead for retail

KP > any other 11 colorway released. Not even close.

Exactly. I never liked them. I think the Big Bangs look way better. They're pretty plain to me and I you can ID something better for the same price. Only reason people bought them up, like always, is because they were limited.Dawg......

Trying to like them?!
Y'all go ahead & sleep on the Gammas. After all.....they didn't cost $250 with a War Machine tag on it.
