Yeah. I can imagine guys with larger feet don't do well up there, either. Last time I went to Hong Kong, most new releases come out from sizes 8.5-11.

Best of luck to grabbing your pair.

EDIT: Interesting you guys getting your pairs early in HK. Great price, too.



Any chance these restock after the mess this Saturday?

we aren't getting them early? they come out here on saturday, same as the states. but in china they release tmr, so might get an idea of how the supply is.

i hope they do restock and everyone who wants a pair to rock and cop...but thats wishful thinking

Wasn't a comparison but an example that I thought they upped production on 1s. In the past only bad color ways went to discount like lanes or Hawks. I got C:Darolina, metallic blue, and yangs on discount. Everything else I wanted this year was copped. SNKRS draw got me shook :smh: because non draw has Been pretty painless for me.

Any AJ1 with contrast stitching is tearable imo. Can't do it, even the gym rers are no bueno to me because of that..

Agreed....these should have had holiday numbers....point blank period. And lets take this to a business perspective. Nike should have made a ***** ton of these to max out their 3rd Qtr fiscal numbers. You build hype on a OVO...not a OG grail like this. This shoe was guranteed to sell millions. Meet the supply demand!

why max out on these when they can max out on a more expensive model that they can drag out through the different levels of retail for a year after they release?

I can't quite make sense out of your post bro.

essentially other retro models retail for 190-220, im assuming that theres a larger profit margin with those. meaning at every level from NDC, to store front, to outlet nike makes more every time a pair is sold when compared to the 1's that are only on some peoples radar because of their plainness and price point.

i can only assume that nike spends millions on market research before they implement prices and decide on production numbers.

Word is a lot of SBBs and Frags were backdoored last night

i know that for a fact i have a friend who knows someone who works for forbes magazine and he said they had the good stuff selling last night for the media opening

dont know about Frags but i know my friends buddy got ssb's for free

there was some sbb's this morning

don't know the sizes

i went up there to take a look at 6 am this morning
if you didnt have a wristband it was not worth waiting unless you wanted 9 low's or any of the city pack 10's or shoes like that for retail from the look out the pics

so i left

the good stuff like sbb or master and fly game 12's in whatever sizes where left i'm sure went to the same old nyc Instagram resellers at the start of the line

Do you guess think the hype would be the way it is if the price was $220, like the other models that have NA on them?

Just wanna hear some thoughts.
 
Southland FNL in the Bay says they aren't receiving them, but they're on the launch locator. Anyone got a raffle from them?
 
Just called Nike SF representative told me they will announce whether the release is FCFS or raffle by "Wednesday or Thursday", which leads me to believe it will probably be FCFS too.
