These still going to sell as crazy as the Bred 11's... But these will come in Thunder IV numbers.
 
Nike/JB  is enjoying playing with release dates, release times...then they are going to do all of this just to turn around an re-release in stores.  Sad we are dealing with a company that can care less about losing customers since with every shoehead that "retires" 5 new hypebeast are there to replace them...and this is just a test...and if successful according to their standards...here come the days of 200.00 and up for regular retros and retro + colorways and watch the og nike air's jump to a 235 premium with non-premium materials... man the bubble grows daily...

You hit it right on the head. They don't care what their customers think. They know there is a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG line of people that will replace the "retiring" buyer. As long as they hit their numbers they can sleep good at night. 

 I too see this as a test to see if they can increase the price of the retros (which will pass BTW) 
 
If they increase the price like that you can have these Jordans. Let the long line of people line up for it. That way when the hype dies they will have lost their hypebeast customers as well as their core audience

This is really annoying. It was 2/1, then 2/6. 8:00, then 4:51. Now it's "we have no clue".

Really, really tired of the games.

It was never any other date than 2/6. People were just falling for false info. Though Nike definitely enjoys building up the hype, they haven't jerked anyone around too much here. People are just butthurt because they've believed lame sources that have no credibility.

How you gonna say they haven't jerked anyone around? First they said 4:51PM ET now they're saying the time will be "TBD". People have other priorities other than waiting for a tweet to purchase some Jays. Granted the original time (4:51pm) might not have been convenient for some, at least they gave a time. Now to turn around and act like they don't know when they gunna drop the link is just a pain in the buns.

I think this is just an oversight by one person manning the twitter account. It's not some conspiracy that Nike is trying to mess with a bunch of lame dudes who jerk it in front of their computers all day to this board, scrutinizing every detail they can dig up in replies to people on a social network. You dbags get so butthurt over what you read on twitter from Nike, from other retailers, etc. And perhaps it's Nike's fault for relying so much on twitter, but the official release calendar still shows 4:51pm. If you had ANY PATIENCE you'd wait until next week as they reiterate the release details like they always do. This "now now now, me me me" attitude around here just wreaks of stupidity. :x

i think if you guys keep adding hype to this launch, and constantly badgering @nikestore, you add fuel to the fire for them to screw with us. leave it alone, and they'll keep it the same it was originally slated.

I'm not saying "now now now, me me me" I'm asking for legitimate info. I think I (we all) deserve it.

You have legitimate info. 2/6 4:51pm TLO. They have officially put this on their calendar, that's the OFFICIAL WORD. They don't owe you anything more than that a week out. You can't even see it, but your entitlement is exactly the "me, me, me" piece I was referring to, yet you're too blind to even see it yourself.
 
It's Friday NT, chill out.

Come Monday I bet they will be giving out more concrete times, or reconfirm the 4:51pm release. They don't NOT want people to purchase these

I, myself will check when I leave the house at 7am on the 6th for any tweets, and again around the original proposed RT. Other than that, I won't be bent out of shape over these. I mean I'd love to have them, but I'm no JB groupie, I have priorities son.

Just sayin'
