Exactly why I passed. I’m not shelling out $200+ to a shop across the pond (expensive return if even an option on this release) to MAYBE get the pair I wanted. It just doesn’t make sense. Not hating on those that did and are now disappointed.
They could’ve definitely made more money on these had they released more than 200 pairs and the consumer actually picked the colorway. The whole concept was silly and people would not be stuck with pairs they don’t want and a bad taste in their mouth had they let you choose your colorway.
People aren’t necessarily complaining about the exclusivity of the release. It’s the gimmicky mystery that’s frustrating. This is one of the most helpful/peaceful/positive threads on NT but NB is making some dodgey choices that are atypical of the brand.
One of the busiest times in this thread was the NB1 998 launch a few years back. Pages were flying and it was 99% positive for a non-limited release......that the consumer chose.

If it was really a horrible marketing idea you wouldn’t have spent $200, just saying.
I agree that the concept of this release was trash overall

Despite me agreeing with you, re: that they should have just made it a gr - there’s just no way to tell. We’ve seen the pattern that ends up following often enough though - People would just be waiting for a gr to go on sale, myself included.

Agreed that if these were a GR there wouldn’t be much fanfare. Couple in here would grab at retail and rest would be waiting for a Labor Day sale.
I think the marketing ploy used on this drop was ridiculous but no one can blame NB for the impulsive financial indiscretions in here. 33% chance to hit on any of those color ways knowing full well where the gamble is.
