Interesting release. I got charged for these yesterday after entering the FTL raffle only to check and see this message today. I'm a size 13 and chose "ship to me" by the way. After that, I went and checked my credit card and sure enough, there is a pending credit from FTL. I saw they still had...
As long as you're not over a size 10 maybe 11, you'll be fine. If you're a size 12 or 13, they might not sit long enough to hit discount but who knows?
I think it's also because the reselling cornballs are finally waking up and realizing sneakers aren't an "investment" so now they're just trying to get them sold. I remember at the peak of the hype these were going for $600+ in my size. I sold a few pairs to get my pair so it was whatever, but...

I'm just gonna sleep on release and let these hit ebay. If I end up buying a pair, I'm buying the best looking pair I can find. Not gonna leave it up to chance.
Wouldn't want to test it out on a perfectly good, new pair so my suggestion is someone in here takes one for the team and buys a turbo beater pair on ebay (or uses their own if they've got a pair that's playground busted) and use them as a test subject. Maybe brush some mink oil on the elephant...
Is JB allergic to darker elephant print or something? Not talking about the embossed print lines themselves, but the material they are sitting on. Don't get me wrong this years pair is leaps and abounds above the 2016 eldritch horror release but still.
