I got my velocity blues with a discount code lol. I went day first thing in the morning on release day though in LA. No one was really checking for them yet. There was one other guy from Minnesota and he wore them out the door lol.
I couldn't get a decent fit in the GT cut 2 but the I agree about the GT Cut 1s. They were just ok. Not worth the resale or the hype.
There is a quite a bit of hype on shoe message boards though lol.
