this may be a dumb question, but why are the blue glow 1's so hard to find?

HOLD UP SO YOU WILLING TO PAY 800-1000 FOR THOSE MULTI COLOR FLYKNITS?!Was just about to post those pictures. If I can find a pair for around $800 - $1,000 I'll hop on it.
HOLD UP SO YOU WILLING TO PAY 800-1000 FOR THOSE MULTI COLOR FLYKNITS?!
Really dissapointed with how the event was handled and organised by 1948london. After hours of waiting in the cold, never got my pair. SMH.
Multi-usernames?HOLD UP SO YOU WILLING TO PAY 800-1000 FOR THOSE MULTI COLOR FLYKNITS?!
If they're indeed a hyperstrike then absolutely. My NT name is FLYKNITLVR for a reason...
EXACTLY what I was thinkingMulti-usernames?
Oops. Putting Vancity74 to rest.EXACTLY what I was thinking
48 is the worst place for a campout anyway.Basically there were people camping out since Thursday and that was fine. These campers (roughly 47 of them) were given wrist bands with their number in line on Friday at around 6pm and at the same time everyone was told by the store manager that anyone with a wrist band is GUARANTEED a pair on release day Saturday.
Come Saturday morning, most of these people have gone home the night before as they already have wrist bands and there was a line of new people. At 6am there were about 18 people including myself (I live about 3 hours away from London so couldn't camp out early). The release was to start at 12pm and at about 10am the store announced the news about the wrist bands and that after they were all accounted for, they have about 20 pairs left for the people who have just lined up. This was abit of a relief to hear but we weren't going to get too excited yet.
Come 12pm, there was chaos. The Saturday line now up to about 50 people and none of the newcomers were told of the situation. The wrist band holders were allowed to enter 2 at a time according to their numbers. However, before they were allowed to enter the store to buy/try on a pair, their foot size was asked to make sure they still had the sizes. This was were things started to become messy, holders of the wrist bands who were told they are GUARANTEED to get a pair now do not get any at all as they do not have their sizes anymore. I saw this one guy who was close to TEARS and all they could say was "sorry mate". Also about the sizes, one minute they were like "yeah we got this size left" and the other minute they're like "oh sorry we've only got 3 boxes left". Like whaaat ?! Make up uour mind !
At one point they also said that people with no wrist bands must now go home as you no longer have a chance of obtaining the shoes. However, there were a couple of guys who were allowed in with no wrist bands and came waaaaaayyyyy after i did. How is that fair ?!
Also, after all this was done. There was no apology done, they just pretty much shooed us off and told us to go away. They told the bouncers to this and no member of the store actually told us this personally.
Sorry its abit of a long story.
1948 are the worst place for a limited release, there are stories like yours repeated time after time about the place, Ordinary punters get screwed over but the usual suspects always get a pair and bang straight on ebay, Nike management need to take a serious look at this place but they probably couldn't care less anyway, at least you weren't there since Thursday and supposedly guaranteed a pair, Sounds like the Lebron Corks release when people queuing could not get a pair but certain people getting there later didBasically there were people camping out since Thursday and that was fine.

What happened? How was it handled? I'm assuming it was people getting hooked up by friends that work there and people waiting didn't get anything?Really dissapointed with how the event was handled and organised by 1948london. After hours of waiting in the cold, never got my pair. SMH.
Thanks...I found the white/grey pair for 168 shipped. But now im leaning towards the black/grey pair or these over at FNL with my WC rewards coupon...idk, Im very indecisiveTrue to size is fine in the Flyknit Trainer. Your problem is going to be finding those colorways at retail in a 9.5, especially the white/black pair.
Pros/Cons of each?first of all I second that it will be difficult to find that color at retail, second I'd like to point out that the trainer and lunar are two totally different shoe experiences and even a slightly dissimilar fit.
TTS (same size as my AM1, maybe that helps)....also I've pretty much gathered these run TTS...correct? Are they at all narrow like some nike runners tend to be or not really?
