I think im on the same boat with you. I cancelled my pair from Nike, got the survey but no confirmation of a cancelation. They send me an email that my pair was shipped. Got my refund today but i believe my shoes was delivered today so i dunno what the deal.
 
UPS just dropped my pair off. JB did a good job on these, it feels good to have a pair of my all time favorite shoes with NA on the back. :pimp: :D
 
Reallly pleased with my pair.....made really great....im glad they sat and are ready available....would love for all releases to be like this one....people complaining about shoes or balking with price....at rhe end of the day buy what you like....if not let it sit and allow someone elae to cop....Im happy

From the business owner point of view you run the risk of the shoes being over saturated because they are everywhere.  Supply and demand is thrown out the window if they are easily accessible, driving the price of them down.  From the consumer side nothing we can get a shoe we want with little to no hassle.

Not that big of deal to Nike, considering the price they get knocked down to is closer to what the MSRP should've been to begin with.
 
These are sitting all over! I think the bubble has officially popped. Most retros are not an instant sellout now unless it's a limited collab shoe. Good!

I think much if this has to do with the $220 price tag, and over-saturation of retros being released. As I mentioned above, they're still going to bank when retros hit clearance. Now they're just raking in that extra reseller money.

As a holder of Nike stock I say just do it!
 
It's heartwarming seeing all these pics pop up. People getting 2 or 3 pairs. Its amazing. Can only hope there are a many more releases like this to come in the future. This has been one large W for the NT fam. Lol, where them dancing W's at?

I believe the E isn't smaller at all. If you look at pairs, you'll see the N and the E seem to be aligned. I believe the K is bigger and/or was placed slightly above the rest of the letters. I believe K is the culprit here. I've thought this for weeks but now I'm pretty confident in this observation

Hmm....that's a question only you can answer....But consider:

- Are you going to wear thru the first 2 pairs and need the 3rd?

- Would you be getting it for resale/trade value?  That won't exist.

- If you keep them DS for a decade, they'll likely be unwearable, so do you want it just to have in your collection assuming you wear the first 2?

- What else would you do with that money?

- Will you want them after the next release 5-8 years down the road?

Personally, I've been making sure I have no DS shoes left b/c they'll last longer that way.  That kills resale value, however, I have never, nor ever intend to sell any shoes.  Just not a hassle I want to deal with for the return.

If you really want a 3rd pair (for a particular reason), you may consider waiting to get them on discount.  That said, if you REALLY want them, then just get them now.

Just some food for thought.  Let us know what you decide!

Ur E doesn't look small at all; I think you got a perfect NA going on there.
