For real?! Damnn.I paid 200, could prob sell for around 300 give or take going by our local sales. So you think if i was too sell, now is the time while the hypes still alive? Or wait till everyones been looking for a while and are more desperate?

I'd get rid of them now while the hype is still going lol your more likely to get ride of them now before all the other upcoming releases . An yea for real lol i know its crazy i couldnt believe it either he offered me 275 first , told him no , and then offered 310.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a grey market pair? I heard people saying something about the color lacelock but I cannot remember. Thanks in advance.

I got my pair from Eastbay today. I love these shoes. They look great in person. To me both White and Black Grapes are equal. The material is not as ashy as some of the pics you see in here. One of my favorite Retro+ colorway.

sneaker shields untrimmed might work... might support the toe better untrimmed as well. I ordered .5 up from the grapes i ordered, cuz the grapes fit perfect, and i hear these are .5 smaller.

Can always try it out, they wont be needed to be worn for a long time, the first pair will barly see light through my rotation i have. I found the normal grapes tts-big not smaller, but everyones foots different

Photos I've seen look like they have a black lacelock instead of the teal color, and I've noticed the "stock" photos of the real pairs show them laced thru the 2nd eye from the top while the grey mkt photos seem to be laced way down thru the 3rd eye from the top (thru the 2nd plastic thing instead of the first)...
GREY (I think)
VS. FNL
Anyone else???

Mens sizes are super ashy, my wifes gs size looks great though. On feet neither you or anyone else will care.

You gotta hold a pair to judge the quality on these.

^ I'd keep em for bait unless ur strapped for cash now. Doubt these will restock or retro anytime in the forseeable future. Such a well done shoe in terms of quality and cw value is sure to increase a lot. Will be very sought after...especially with the qs moniker

I didn't consider gm pairs. Prices sure to go up still tho, right?
. If ur looking to sell its almost always best to strike while the iron is hot ie sell now...if I had an extra pair tho I'd keep it cuz I don't need the extra cash now I'd rather have a rare gem on my hands later down the line. Not rly sure about whole gm thing tho its unclear to me how its all gonna play out.
