here it is 3 days prior to the announced release of the black 2011s, and only a handful of online spots have dropped them--DSS and uptempoair, for ex. nothing on sneaker st or PYS. plus, this thread is on life support. anybody else surprised? seems like the hype leading up to these has faded fast. people seemed more excited about this colorway when the first 3 dropped on all star weekend. it's almost as if they liked the idea of the blackout 2011s more than the actual shoe itself, though we see this often with people yearning over exclusive colorways that are later released to lackluster sales. and we can't forget the huge PR blitz the white/blacks got, which isn't happening with this release.
regardless, i'm a huge AJ2011 fan and am anxiously awaiting this release...and word on future colorways, as this design lends itself to creative color-blocking.
