Sorry marley, I was trying to pass on all the information I was given at that time.  Due to other shops allowing pre-orders on the 5 Rings, we got approval to also do pre-orders.  So the shoes became available for pre-order during the middle of the day.  Unfortunately, I was not notified about this until around four hours after my original post.  I posted updates whenever I got new information.

This was a quickstrike launch, so we did not have any information on these shoes until yesterday morning, which is when I posted an update here.

Wasn't Ebanks wearing the V rings too?
Someone else on the team had them on besides Kobe & Shannon.....

I thought before the game that only 2 people would wear them (...the 2 with V rings).....
good thing Shannon showed up last nite since he was sporting them....

Secured a V rings, but need to sneak my way into a pair of BS now.....

 

[acbboyz84]

Inks are not excluded on Eastbay. There is a 20% off coupon too.

i was suprised to see that nike vault released the 5 rings last night right after the laker game, walked out of staples and saw a bunch of people waiting in line for them, luckily i got my 2 pairs




size 13 ftw!

 

[gza73]

Hope everyone that wants the 5 Rings gets them today.

 

[mugen ep]

Im really not digging the gaudy sticker labels that the vault is putting on their boxes.

Nice pick up though.

I am happy to hear you were able to secure a pair.  

  Unfortunately, I am limited on what I can do, so I just do what I can to help out, which is mostly pass on information.

Oh f***.....

I still got till December. So I'm good right now.

It's Lunar Thread time.

 

[trunkz550]

So the 5rings dropped last night on eastbay and ndc?

 

[astroox805]

ANYBODY KNOW IF HOHLA SOLD OUT YET?

 

[ortizv24]

Eastbay phone order, limited numbers. NDC sold out in 15 minutes!

 

[kobeshakur24]

apparently nobody got in 14s/15s saw em on NDC but they were sold out while in cart. tried HOH Cherry Hill in NJ they sold out fast, had sizes up til 13

 

[nflowshoe]

dont want to get banned, but im going to house of hoops orlando later on today (they hate kobe out here) PM if you failed to find your size and I will try to help out.

 

[thapointguy]

Didnt make the drive to HOH Serramonte to check if they receive them or not, didnt call last night to check. Called this morning and they did. Not a big deal, colors were too much for me to rock anyways. I should've at least got a pair to help out a member than let a reseller snag a pair.

 

[astroox805]

just got a hold of ntla, they got a sizes, unfortunately not my size..but they do got 10.5 and a couple of others

 

[gssazabi]

HOHLA has PLENTY of sizes available. Such an easy cop.

 

[u ttocs]

there was nobody at the beverly center. walked in at about 8 and got my size no problem. it seems like they have fsr. i wish all the limited releases were this easy.

 

[dfabix]

mid week?......makes things easy for those who can find the way to get the time off.....(or ask their boss to give them free time....hint hint......HOLLLLLA!)

 

[black23]

Just came from ntny and got my size 12. Niketown ny has them so head over there. They had them on display on the bball floor
New yorkers if u missed out @ hohny go to ntny

Ask your boss then. Hopefully y'all get your pair or pairs.


these are a must. These mean more than some finals to be honest. If you got the 4rings, these are a must regardless. Over retail is worth it.
