if the shoes retailed in stores($135) do u think they would sell out like the cements?
No, I don't. My extended thoughts on the affect of the hype surrounding this release on people's decisions to buy are a couple of pages back in this thread. Basically, I think that the exclusivity of the shoe definitely helped the sales. I actually think that all of the problems with the site might have helped sales as well as people din't want to be left out.
I DO think that these would have sold very quickly had they been a stand-alone regular Launch Day release at retail, but I don't think they would have moved like the cements. The cements were $100 for one thing. Plus I don't think that these are quite THAT sought-after without the hype. They'd have sold very briskly, though. Perhaps like recent Retro VIII mids??
