Doubt its fake. Same thing with ginger 4s. Sold out in minutes and havent restocked. They were available at other retailers days after tho. Nike has no reason to fake seel out a shoe in 4 mins lol. 30 ok maybe not 4.

What is a ginger 4?

And they do this all the time.

"sold out" pinnacles get sent to outlets for $299 and sell out immediately.

My theory is that they fake quick sellouts on NDC and sell the majority of pairs at Niketowns and also through the seasonal restocks. They do have a reason, it creates artificial hype and demand and keeps consumers coming back. I see your point tho why would they want to miss out on all those online sales? Who knows

The reason I think it was fake is how there weren't even big sizes straggling like usual. Ain't no way they sold all the size 14s and 15s in 3 minutes
 
Tried finish line earlier couldn't get through, probabley if i sat at the computer all morning i might have got a pair off there but i had things to do so managed to get a pair for $460

Couldn't pass on the Nike reservation for these...  Especially with that 25% off coupon.  And in an unexpected twist, Nike shipped them overnight free (they'll be in hand today)!

My pair arrived in less than 24 hours from NDC!

They're really nice. Quality is great.  Though marks/scratches easily (maybe meant to).  In my opinion, I am not a huge fan of the midsole being a leather overlay.
 
Yeah $220-$240 probably the most I would have hyped myself up to pay. The "tonal type" aspect is throws me off with this shoe. I need a couple other colors in there. Would rather have the Fear 5 then these.

Since when did Ebates exclude Js? Any other cash back recommendations?

If you're into accumulating airline miles you can use the United Mileage plus x app and purchase a gift card to buy the shoes. You'll get I think 5 miles per dollar at nike and footlocker.... but I have had issues using a gift card on snkrs orders.... I've found when I get a reservation on my nike plus app that I can add it to my cart and then log in on a browser to finish paying with the gift card and that works. I know it's not ideal, but at least you get something back if you want to save to fly somewhere. That's the only loophole I've found so far for J's.
 
My little brother just copped a pair of these for my birthday.

Don't own any 5s but damn I'm excited to see what these are like in hand.

I'm mostly a 1 and 4 kind of guy.

Any first impressions?
 
these are nice, but not worth the price so i passed. the plug had pairs set aside for me, but i just couldn't do it. retail shoulda been no more than $250

fears >> olives >> these
