the ONLY thing I do not like sometimes about concepts releases.. Last year when I copped my 999's, I paid 150 . When they dropped retail and on the 2nd restock they did, the price went from 150 > $175.

very scarce info... ubiq life said they would have them, release date unannounced.. Im feeling like these may not really see the light of day at most shops.. Everything is being kept hush hush about it. Almost like a limited QS release or something.

This must have happened for me. Was out eating breakfast at 10. Tried to get through on my 3G phone
Sold out in 30 seconds.Came home just now and copped my size at 10:30. Or at least I got an order number.
Unless the online store is slow, no sizes are listed as sold out right now.
It may be because I'm colorblind, but the mint colorway not looking that stunning to me, though it does look good.

Yes, charged 12 bucks for shipping. Ordered other shoes from there before, and shipping was free. I think this isn't a big deal, but I don't get the logic of adding shipping to limited collabs. They can't be making THAT much money off of $12. Otherwise, checkout process was very smooth.

PLEASE...... LET ME WEAR YOUR SHOES! - I had a chance to get the black\grey solebox 1500's for 150 when they released. Its the most regretted decision in my life. I think about it nearly everyday. Why did I not get them.

I tried a while ago just to see, got the sold out message on the checkout page, now no message.
Maybe they're releasing them in batches so they don't over sell.

Not going to lie
I'm tempted to just grab a pair and use it for trade bait or something, but it doesn't seem like people care about these like that.

thanks for the giving me mix emotions fellas 
Hopefully I'm good with the order...the site transaction was smooth as it can possibly be for a collab release...no issues what so ever, hopefully inventory was enough..

Just purchased an 8.5 .... If it gets canceled I'm swaying my way into getting the mint 998 as a lock from them....Leaning towards that more

Honestly, I think the psuedo press release stating all the retailers that these will be available at helped to squash some of the typical collab hype. That list of stores was on a lot of the bigger sneaker blogs yesterday.
Granted, they're the same stores that typically get limited NB drops, but seeing them all together on a list maybe made it seem like these weren't limited enough to warrant beasting on day one? Who knows. What I do know is that I wish all releases went like the C-Notes.

No wonder Cncpts offered ppl who missed 3lies these 998s.
Actually doing them a favor selling shoes that aren't moving or stock overload..

Literally just bought a 10.5 2 hours after the release. Hopefully doesn't get canceled, and if it does, they should give me first dibs on a pair of the mints!

Still sizes available and other stores are getting them, maybe ill just wait for other retailers to get them so i can save on that $12 shipping
