Real talk man Nike wants to manufacture and control its own hype machine and gets mad when others with inside knowledge share certain things at times they don't deem appropriate, because then these people are controlling their hype machine. I've been the store Mgr @ FTL b4 and know that if this were traced back to the OP that he may get into trouble at his job. Mostly because the contract his retail chain higher ups has with Nike doesn't want the beans spilled by an employee of the company, they much rather do it themselves. Think about it remastered, price increases, mysterious sell outs/restocks/draw system, Nike Air, $400 price tags, $250 price tags, $225 price tags, holiday XI releases, Black Friday releases, the 1, etc... All created by Nike's hype machine not the OP.
By how the OP made a mistake he kinda is creating artificial hype, because these shoes may actually release and now we got more attention on those releases. I do appreciate the added info no doubt but there's just better ways to drop it. He started the thread by saying he was going to confirm rumors, release updates, etc.. No other source has confirmed this but him and some people don't like that with the added hype. No one has posted in the Undftd 8 thread in a month. I'm sure that will change now. I want the info without the hype so I don't have to battle resellers and 70yr old dudes to get a pair. He more than likely is well intended tho. That is all. Rant/
