Appreciate the info, my pair ended up getting backordered, which kinda baffles me, because it was a random size that popped back up after they sold out, why list it on the site if the stock wasnt available? They offered me a free gift and asked my shirt size for the inconvenience, but never responded back to my email asking whats the eta on the back order
The shoe sold out. Nothing was pulled. The pairs were limited.... There will be no restock of these. So if we pulled the pairs where did they go? L&D sold out and FILA.com sold out... We are not pulling any smoke and mirrors trick over here.
Haha!
I can't speak on behalf of Lemar & Dauley's website. However, I monitored the FILA.com page with this collaboration & there definitely was an abrupt transition of pairs available to being completely taken off the site. I did the same with the Shredder release to see how well they would sell & I could actively see pairs no longer being available in a gradual manner. As you appear to have some affiliation with FILA, what were the exact numbers of this specific collaboration? Did the TMNT FX-100s & TMNT Cages sell-out instantly with no restock as well? At the end of the day, the demand for this particular collaboration simply wasn't there & the majority of posts in this thread confirm that. Perhaps on a smaller scale, one could call it a success...
I do have a direct affiliation with FILA. Not sure how you monitored the page as you have no access to our back end. If you watched the front end of the page you would see pairs going at an easy rate. I am not here to talk numbers of pairs. In terms of the demand? This collaboration sold out, within the day. So the demand for it may not be on this thread, however we sold it out... So consumers appreciated it and purchased it. Simple as that. Please come prepared with more than "one could call it a success...." The blog hype was there, the demand was there, the limited edition status was there. Not sure what point we are missing here?
These drop friday
If this is what you're "bringing to the table" as an "ambassador" of FILA then I'm not surprised as to why the brand itself is plateauing (again) if this is what they have at their forefront. Sad part is, I'm a fan of the brand...
I'm trying to understand what you are getting at? Are you not happy with the collaboration or the amount allocated or the distribution? In terms of "bringing to the table" I meant some factual analytics, as you do not have any access to our backend.... I work directly for FILA... Please be clear, the shoes went up on our site and they were bought and the sizes came down during the purchases. It simply sold out, I'm still not understanding what you're point is?
It appears your confusion is due to your own negligence. I'm not expressing my dismay for the product nor am I unhappy with the allocation/distribution. May I suggest reading my initial post as I was referencing a rather simple process that could be deduced for the most simple of laymen. So are you or are you not confirming FILA.com is run on MarkMontior servers? Might want to stick to initial references instead of diverting the issue elsewhere...
Sniper,
Done yet?
It's very possible that a reseller could have purchased them all at once. However, I don't think a legitimate reseller would do so as the profit margins would be minimal to possibly even a loss. Just looking at the current & only listing on eBay denotes the lack of interest. The Buy-It-Now price went from $300 to $200 within a few days & it appears to be stagnant at a starting bid of $140. Once you account for eBay/PayPal fees + Shipping & Handling, I think the seller would break even. In regards to FILA.com's restrictions, they have limited purchase quantity for a few releases before, but not all...
Saw that a Fila rep was in the thread and decided to ask questions about the release. I'm not on here all the time but, if it's a release I need more in depth info about, I hit up NT. Use to be up in the library in high school looking at Jays and what not on this forum. I would suggest that you cats stop dropping links and giving list on where particular releases are dropping though, keep all that private. That's how I was able to cop the Yeezy 1s and so many other releases. Sneaker reselling is at a all time high, do as much as you can to keep the community tight.Well anything is better than Nike/JB these days so the benchmark is quite low. That said why 'lurk' for 14 years then come out of the woodwork to praise an obscure Fila joint? Are you the cat who purchased the FSR on Fila.com?
