Yeah I mean I'd be happy owning them either way, but I HATED how Packer did the 'For Player Use Only' pack...stating that they would only be sold as a pack and then promptly selling them separately like a week later.

  Yeah, that's the only issue I had with PackerShoes. Happy they released them but super pissed I had to buy the Kobe pair too.....I just wanted the LeBron!  They should have sold them individually for $125 (not $150) and I bet they would have done better sales.  They were either greedy or insecure about the release.

I felt bad for the people who bought the pack for $300.

They had FSR up of both when they did the individual releases, and this past summer had them marked down to $100 each. I understand that if nowhere near all the inventory moved, you've got to sell it somehow. But mark down the price of the pack then, don't make yourselves look like liars.
 
damn...missed my sz11. anybody knows if other shops will get these? or packer exclusive?

Hoping for the sake of exclusivity that no one else gets them...just do the half size up/down thing homie.

Edit: only 7.5-9.5 and 10.5 left, better hurry y'all.

  I felt like a sucker paying $300 but figured I could sell off my Kobe pair....never happened

  Hearing they lowered them to $100?  All I can do now is laugh at myself and remember never to pay for a "coupled set" if it involves Packershoes.

I think I ended up selling my Kobe pair for like $125...the $25 shipping + $300 MSRP for the pack was the worst, never would have paid $200 for just the 'brons.

Packer definitely should've issued a store credit to those that bought the pack within the first few days for full retail.

:lol:

anyway, for that kobe lebron pack, I think I'm the minority here that got lucky...missed out the initial release but managed to grab the pack at 50% off sale last thanksgiving. Later got rid of the Kobes locally for like 120, so basically got the brons pe for 30 bucks :tongue:

   Man that sucks.  My only hope of recouping will be in a few years when the Kobes are considered vintage and dry up on ebay.  I agree, it's hard to stomach $200 for the Lebrons because that's pretty much re-seller territory when you think about it.

Hope any NTers who wanted a pair were able to get from the official midnight launch.

  I hope so too. This is the crappy part of the sneaker hobby

I'm still hopeful this release will be distributed to other shops, this can't be a "Packer only" thing. It doesn't have special packaging or details on the shoe itself. 

EDIT: Just noticed a slight difference in the GR version from the player sample version I used to own. The back portion and sides of the shoes had burgundy plastic piping ...this release has material covered piping.
