Thanks. I grabbed the 'Gym Red' (twice) and the 'Sequoia' pairs that released last month, and they completely changed my expectations for leather from Nike. Think I'm going to do the leg work to track down the black Dunk Lux in my size next. I like the tumbled leather on the SBBs, but it's good...
I suspect that if this is successful, the same "member-first" method will be applied to online releases. Imagine this whole process evolving into checkout. Eventually, they could offer a "pay in advance" option, to speed up the process when you show up for pickup. And that could become something...

It's a lot of stuff that stopped being (as)...
Those black-bottom 9s were a B-Grade because of a manufacturing error, not production quality. The retail release had a white sole. A few thousand were accidentally produced with black soles.
