I feel ya man. When I was living in Hong Kong, I hated buying shoes there. I just bought them stateside, and when I travel home to visit my parents, I picked them up from their house. The worst buying experiences were there, at that nikelab in Causeway Bay. People skipping line, people having their helpers camping out over night for the shoes.

Yeh it hasnt changed at all! When the Atmos / Elephants came out at NikeLab they did a raffle instead,  one of the guys that runs a 'line up' crew got beat up inside the store with a pipe becuse (i assume)  he couldnt enough stock for his order lol 

But then at least local resale is cheaper than online, about 160usd now for the golds
 
^ ridiculous. Having those dudes bring out like 10 extra people to cut in line at store opening was the worst.

I still don't understand why there are no photo signs in the Causeway Bay nikelab. Why would they not want people to take pictures of shoes on a shelf? I was back there a few months ago and saw those. They certainly weren't there a few years back.
 
If I was you guys in the US I'd definitely purchase from one of our UK online stores, it seems to me that we're getting a lot of stock considering the amount and type of places that are getting them.

In the west end of london alone there's atleast 5 instore releases of these today.

I'd say your best bet would be JD online or offspring online (if they ship international), especially JD as I'm sure they'll have plenty of pairs. Avoid SNS, FP and size? online if you don't want your order cancelled

Size and JD are the same company I believe.  Kind of like Footlocker, Champs, Eastbay are.   I guess they don't ship from the same stock/warehouse?  And yes, Offspring has shipped intl in the past (guess they still do).
