The Binary blues are hitting my HOH on the 12th.
Again, these will be limited, straight from the manager.

good to see dudes helping out. thats the old spirit of niketalk that seems to be lacking somewhat nowadays. thanks to those that commented on the cushioning. anyone elses opinion is welcomed. especially dudes at footlocker that can try them on or those that have their pairs. seems to be that the forefoot is lacking from what i can tell. i haven't seen or tried them on. did a chat with nike cs, and of course they had no info on the cushioning set up, and said would email me on tuesday with the info. we will see. its a shame when even the shoe designers don't even mention the cushioning (like that marc dolce video on $C)

^ It's just forefoot foam. There's no cushioning up front. The heel Zoom is fairly small too.

Bro, where you from? Share the love and let us know what places have lots of stock.

Around my way (NJ) only a few places are getting them. Also, I doubt they will sit unsold for long on NDC .
If they don't sell well and NDC does put them on clearance, I will be the first to grab two extra pairs. 
However, we can all dream but the chance of this happening is very low in my humble opinion.

WHAT!? Almost $200 and there's basically no zoom in these.... I was expecting full length zoom!
NIKE execs get a kick in the chest for doing this!

Well I know for a fact they will drop for $120 on swoosh which typically (I know not always) means they will be a GR.  Several other sites have already been selling them for $210 (I believe someone posted a few places some pages back), just seems like there are going to be a lot of these as it is the first color for a big release (GITD never hit nike.com), thats just my opinion though and what I have seen

It's truly amazing to think about how much Penny's legacy and reputation stands on manufactured HYPE versus it's own two feet.

umm..he did win a gold medal in 96

Well considering that my local FTL has them in stock I gotta go with WITNESSkb24 and say that these are looking like a GR.

I find that fascinating that no one will comment on the cushioning set up. Should be such an easy thing to figure out and post. Maybe people will start playing in these once the market floods in a few months with all the other colors releasing. I'm very curious to find out how they perform...

Also, the grey/blues do nothing for me. The grey mutes the blue....

i wore em 2 days straight, i believe its heel and fore foot zoom air..it isn't a full zoom air unit like da foamposite one/pros

 

[fdub]

I got the colors I want.. I think I am done.. Maybe the all black ones... Non the less, I am very happy with these kicks.. 

 

[witnesskb24]

Binaries look good up there!

 

[eugenile gts]

Are these shoes comfortable?

[riddla713]

so i copped a pair a pair sz 10.5 db 4's from ndc and now im going to try and flip them so i can pay for the atlantics, db 4's will be easy to get at retail when they restock at niketowns across the country. the atlantics are so dope, really the only pair im feelin other than the max orange joints. im trying to get the atlantics for under $400 but most people are asking $400+, hopefully i can find a seller with a sz 10.5 or 11 that will bite for $350-$400 shipped.

 

[bigj505]

these arent really comfy to be honest. im probably gonna put insoles in my pairs in the future.

that said, they look dope tho. i wore my GITD up Security Mall yesterday and broke necks for days.


EDIT:
Not sure why people think NY is the central for all style. People from NY generally admit they go with trends. Foams wasnt even on the radar until recent years. Dudes in the DMV been rocking them since day 1.
And to say DMV dude were only wearing AF1s and what not... thats just stupid. Back in the day, everyone were rocking AF1s AKA UPTOWNS.

AND

what research is there to do? Charm is from Bmore and so am I. we BOTH know what was good with foams back in the day. I still

when I used to see dudes from DC putting glitter on the flightposite 1s to go with their Shooters outfits.
