Most of them ship to US unless it's release date product or limited inventory, we're just going to have to wait and see. I HAD (still do actually) a BAD feeling about these with the way Nike handled the "shock" drop. I'm not sure if everyone noticed the new "comparison" metric that SNKRS is using (where they ask you to pick between A and B whether it's a feature on a shoe or how you'd wear it) but I believe they're using this to gauge interest on certain releases.
A few years ago, these would've released everywhere for retail, been EASILY attainable and may have even went on sale and hit outlets. I think NIke is trying to get away from that and they're trying to capitalize on "hype".
They've used "influencers" to do collabs only to borrow from those collabs and use similar "elements" throughout the brand to capitalize on other silhouettes that would not have performed as well if they didn't share similar elements of a hyped release.
While these aren't a collab, I find it STRIKINGLY odd that Nike had so many cancellations on the "shock" drop and then all of sudden "sneaker media" started posting release dates and then END with the raffle BS.....c'mon man, we're talking about a AM1 in BASIC color blocking...NO crazy materials, elements or ANY of the "extra" foolishness
It's kinda sad man, the people that REALLY want the sneakers don't have the opportunity to purchase them at retail because the resell market has become an industry.
Damn, I miss the days when you could walk into a store, try a shoe or two on, cop and walk out.....almost feels ancient...like I would leave Footlocker and look up and see a pterodactyl....that was random...
