I love my KD GG's also, but I ordered these Kyrie GM's cause I haven't picked a Kyrie 2 yet (want the Effect CW but don't want to pay over double retail for the resell on those).. and I love red.
Copped this morning. First shoe bought in months. Something about the KD9 is fresh to me. Shape reminds me a bit of the LeBron 8, which was a great shoe.
Last (and only) time I ordered from CNCPTS I got stuck with a $100+ UPS charge on the Rose NB 997 CNCPTS collab. That one stung. Hope you don't get slammed.
NMD hype reminds me of Roshe hype a few years ago. Sold out instantly when stock first appeared in Canada, now that we've been inundated with different models and CWs and the whole lot, they're sitting under retail everywhere.
Adidas Canada hasn't dropped yet. Adidas US dropped, but you'll get kicked out and sent back to the Canadian website within a minute or so - they must IP check or something. I suppose you could try a U.S. proxy.

It's still there, just the preset option with the Derozan Colour options already made for you is gone.
EDIT: The Tongue/Heel is where you can't get the "day" option.

I think it's a combination of higher retail price + higher production rates (Nike lifetime contract with Lebron = he is 100% Nike's number 1 guy right now) + less demand overall - the shoe isn't as hot as say, the Big Bang ASG IX.
Totally agreed. This weekend was unlike anything culture-wise that Toronto has ever seen. I'm out East in N.S. for school right now so obviously couldn't make it to Toronto, and am quite jealous of the events and cool things that you all got to experience. Once in a generation kind of thing.
