I wish there wasn't so much talk about solarsoft mocs in this thread. There's so many lurkers in this thread that see "oh it's the new roshe better go buy up all the stock" and then we are paying resell prices. Leave the solarsofts for the solarsoft thread. They will get more recognition as time goes, but at this rate they'll be the new roshe before summer.

Just got my first pair of Roshes... damn they're comfy. I have a feeling that I'll be frequenting this thread much more often than I have in the past.

Never hit the shelf they said. I just wanted one pair, employee asked how much I was gonna flip them for and I said just to wear. Told me a guy in a grey shirt, sitting in the corner, scooped up the stock.

Huh? Which thread have you been reading? The most that the Mocassins were discussed in here was when they first released because of the similarity. This was months ago. I haven't seen that many Mocassin posts in here lately.
I have a pair myself and love them but I have yet to see anyone in this thread say "oh it's the new Roshe so we need to buy all the stock".
Your lurkers are in the Mocassin thread and that's why all of the YOTS are all gone and going for double the mark up which is currently the only Mocassin fetching the highest resell dollars. Dark Obsidians are still out there, the Tarp Greens have FSR on NDC, and the OGs are still at retailers and Nordstrom Rack so I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. Don't come in here blaming the Roshe thread.

Yeah, for sure.
But considering that Euro sites have them around $130+ (with shipping) ..
I guess if you really think that you won't be able to get a pair and don't want to pay reseller prices, it's not bad. *shrug*

This is what I was talking about before in this thread
Seeing almost every pack be marked as a QS when they are available everywhere for a good amount of time and nike.com directly tweeting a launch (which ive never seen before) to team roshe:
only furthers my belief that that article about the current state of roshes is correct. Marketing IS running the roshes. what shoes besides jordans, lebrons or foamposites sell out the fastest...QS. for example, everytime a qs happens in the sb community they sell out the same day. however they just label the roshes qs to have the same affect, meanwhile they never sell out as fast. the only one that does is the mint fb (not a QS), but realize how many places did get em and restocked several times. its just that bc of another marketing ploy to get the masses involved (labeling them yeezy cw), everyone kept buying up all of the stock to resell to others. the almost underground nature of the roshe in the 1st yr wasn't enough for the marketing team, so they had to get the masses involved. now to feed the beast they have to label almost every pack a QS, meanwhile they've never had an actual QS. They are also getting tons of free feedback from forums which shows them what to market. just look at this forum...what was one of the things everyone was wanting badly. the ability to make ur own color scheme. so they break out the ID and make u pay $110 just to make the same pair of black sails or iquanas that already exists for $70 or lower. im not saying thats the only cws u can make, but lets face it none of the options are worth $110 unless u mix a diff color on every part of the panels. and the best roshes can only be created by nike, which will also come at a cheaper cost. so that's fool gold for the pre mint fb roshe heads. now notice they also gave the ability for u to make ur own "yeezy" cws. that's marketing getting in on the resell hype of the mint fb. they r saying, ppl want the "yeezy fb" but don't wanna spend $140 plus, so why don't we give them the ability to not only create the black cw but also create the platinum cw and charge $110 a pop. they would see that as a win win bc they get $40 more out of each person and the person "saves" money for not buying resell on the mint fb. but it goes even further then that bc like i said ppl can go with the platinum cw as well so chances are they will create both cws or double up on one. now marketing just got $80 extra outta the hypebeast. with that being said, look out for the ability to make a south beach cw later. now they are adding flywire to justify charging $30 more. but what ppl fail to realize is that the flywire is usless on a roshe, since a roshe is just phylon and mesh. its not gonna provide better support or improve your performance. i could go on and on, but kudos for nike marketing for getting their jobs done. now if you'll excuse me i gotta go purchase me some more roshes lol.

Will say this about the Flywire pairs, the material the shoe is made of makes the foot outline VERY visible. More so than the OG mesh and FB. Not sure if I like that but the Grey is still dope!
