I don't know if hype is needed for this model. I get the feel that people who like them will go get them. Limited releases have never really built hype for a general release in my opinion, they just build hype for that particular colorway not the shoe silhouette itself. I didnt even plan on buying the Red Eagles but I was definitely grabbing Orlando, Dolphin, and Cloak so I went to get sizing and fit right. Copped Red Eagles instantly upon putting them on foot. Great shoe, not hyped at all in my opinion.
I agree for the most part, but I feel the KD IV this year was the exception. The release of the Nerf's, then the Weatherman's, ignited a frenzy for the KD line in general and especially the KD IV itself.
The Zoom Rookies also started out with a limited GITD and now the GR's are discounted, which is why I partially agree.
Tried HoH Serramonte still no luck, manage said he doubts the late shipment rumor
Looking forward to more cw
pretty sure nike did the limited red eagle release first to build hype, then they'll start dropping the GR's
What's crazy is as much as I like the Red Eagles and the shoe silhouette in general I will NOT pay anything over retail for them period! If I miss it I miss it, even will try my absolute best to use bday coupons or any other discount I possibly can on most releases. The shoe is a great design and it's going to take over this fall since I'm not a major fan of the Lebron X, Kobe VIII, or KD V.
As far as Nike using limited releases early to build hype, I see where y'all are coming from but do you honestly believe its increases sales of the GR colorways? Cuz I don't, I've never seen a GR sellout on release day because of an earlier limited colorway causing hype.
No, it probably doesn't increase GR sales, at least not more than incrementally, but I think that's clearly Nike's goal. What it I think that strategy definitely does is increase hype for other semi-limited colourways. For example, the LeBron IX China led to increased hype for the Cannons, Miami Nights and culminated with the Big Bang.
I hope this doesn't happen with the Penny V, because if I can't get a Red Eagle, I'd like to get a pair of the Tigers.
I missed out on the Red Eagle Vs this weekend, have a pair of fire red retro IVs I'm willing to trade for them size 9, please message me if interested or check my listings
Have you heard anything about a Memphis Tiger colorway being released? I havent yet but thinking about the fact they released a HS colorway makes me feel like a college colorway may be inevitable. If you hear about a release let me know, I wanna keep this thread up to date best as possible. Thanks!
