Interesting....so they went from a Super Bowl Sunday release day which made little sense to now a Monday release?


Exactly. Whats up with a Monday release? Who the heck can be there on a Monday. My wishful thinking is that they are taking this time to produce 1,000'smore pairs.

Maybe some %#*%+@$ at Nike forgot to flip to their 2009 calendar.

2/1 was a Friday last year and 2/9 was a Saturday.

YO
What the hell is going on now,
the 9th?

Don't know about missing work for some kicks though... Time Shall tell

 

[kid lebron]

wooow...

 

[mjt26]

So the Blue Chips and the T-Shirt are up at NDC. I don't know what this means for they Hyperdunk, but I ordered the Blue Chips in case the HD never showsup. The Blue Chip is average, but the logo on the tongue more than makes it up for me. Type in pink.

 

[v1nsanity3]

^
good lookin on that info..
hopefully that means something for both

 

[rockdeep]

I wouldn't hold my breath but i am hoping. I talked to someone in Global and they weren't too hopeful either. However I didn't know the Blue Chipswould only be in Womens sizes..

But only $2 for each shoe is donated? What the hell Nike?

 

[stryka12]

Got home and found this. From my homeboy in VA. Not sure from where and how. But here it is.

 

[shaqrules]

hmm...that might be some good news if they showed up in VA...unless he/she knows someone from nike

 

[rockdeep]

No I am not sayin he got them in VA. VA is where we from. Believe me I don't think he got these in VA.

 

[marley]

Somethin fishy goin on here. I am gonna be watching the news to see if someone hijacked a nike truck somewhere....lol, j/k. I guess the mysterysurrounding these shoes continues. This release is getting exhausting trying to follow. The hype on these is getting huge for these things. Shame on Nikefor not making this a GR and raising a ton of money for the cause.

 

[manglor]

If it really is 2 bucks for each shoe donated then wow nike... wow.

 

[redrum sb]

$2 bucks? that's it?

greedy !@% bastards

Looks like I'm not coppin.

 

[agold1002]

Rock, who said only $2 for each shoe is donated? I read the first two pages a few times and I obviously missed it.

That's just wrong

I don't consider myself to be a reseller, but that's a dumb statement.
the $ is made in the wholesale distribution, resellers will only guarantee that they sell quicker and hopefully make more in the future.
we all love shoes but there are better/easier ways to support the cause... they have a website that takes donations.
to summarize, stop crying(about resellers).

 

[tupac003]

Blackcat you are more then welcome...

I haven't been to 24 in a while. Probably won't go back for a little bit either. Too many other things going on.

The release moving to a monday kills it for me. I hope yall can get your pairs but I will be in SD with no chance to cop.

Damn.

I'm going to give Nike the benefit of the doubt on that two dollar thing. It says a minimum for each product. They also have a t-shirt and in the pasthave had hats on other stuff. Please note that other organizations also sell Kay Yow inspired products. Nike is a founding partner for the foundation, soI'm hoping someone was just being lazy by putting up the minimum, which makes them look like cheapos.
