Yeah bro, this is as shocking to me as the South Beach Lebron 8 retro. Those went from grail status to sitting on shelves and no one wearing them. Didnt stop me from thoroughly enjoying either pair tho, i'm over the hype and sell outs!
FWIW, I ended up trying on both pairs in my true size and half size up. Went with TTS in the Elite and half size up in the EM pair. Felt the EM was slightly shorter, but TTS in those could have worked, went half size up for a little extra space.
MD/DC bros still looking for elites, check out DTLR by iverson mall, still had quite a few FCFS. Just grabbed a 9.5 just now. FTL next door may have a few extra mamba days as well.
NICE MAN! I did the same, used literally 60 boosts for both the Mamba Day for myself, the Elite for my son, got both but at two different locations. Going to have to do a lot of driving tomorrow but glad both hit. Now to hunt a pair of elite for myself.
I love it. Been debating on these for a month, and finally walked into a store yesterday and got my size. Still had royal foamposites in stock too, reminds me of the good old days, how it should be.
Release was a **** show in DC. DTLR IG said the 4 locations that would have them today. DTLR Minnesota Ave was the only one to confirm they had them yesterday, line was down the block hour before open.
DTLR Rhode Island is where i sat with like 20 others waiting, just for the manager to get...
If you get lucky at an outlet, they sometimes price returns from online for that cheap since they are a one-off. Usually the crazy sizes, seems to me the popular sizes still are regular price or might get the hash wall percentage some times. Depends on the store and product i guess.
So apparently, the you tube algorithm will push videos with crazy and serious faces in the thumbnail farther, as if to say the video is more important or exciting. Annoying af.
Just found a few pair of Havens on FTL.com, 8-9.5. Was able to get my 9.5 for retail.
-and just like that I dont see them anymore, hope my order went through.
I thought I had them on release date before the prices shot up, but seller on StockX flaked and never sent for that price, hope he walks barefoot the rest of his life.
