No mess up here, the size 11 and 12 are still available for the Orlando colorway.  It sounds like the agent you spoke with was looking at the wrong information.

Most sizes are still available for the Orlando colorway.  The sizes 9, 11.5 and 15 are currently sold out.  Just call in with the product number 20502110 if you would like to back-order one.

Much appreciated on the info, but 11.5...that's my size...

 

[djaward]

Cant believe I missed out on these again.. So mad.

Is this a good trade?
Cement 4 for Flight ones? Who has to add cash and how much?

Oh well it is what it is.

Thanks for your feedback.  I will pass it on to the appropriate personal.

I personally much prefer the way they handled this ''restock''.
by just posting the restock info at a random time, rather than giving a people a certain specified time cuts down on the drama 100 fold.
just like how NTSF handled the 'concord xi' release, where they randomly posted the wristband info on  a social media platform, it almost entirely eliminated the chaos and pandemonium that would have surely took place if they settled on the 'first come, first serve' method.

IMO, if you really want the kicks THAT bad, you will find a way to constantly check forums/twitter/facebook for updates and any new info, the week of or after the release date.
weeds out those who somewhat want them, from those who cant do without them.

for instance, the past two releases that i've felt this strongly about, the concord/flight one releases, i've been extremely successful based on the unconventional timing and methods used to release info. BC i was on top of my game.  but i prob wouldnt have been for a sneaker i didnt feel so strongly about.

and please, i dont want to hear excuses about 'i have to work'.
most of us do, and i know it's not that difficult to check your twitter/niketalk/iss/facebook every once in a while AT WORK. lol

I have to say, I am a bit salty for missing on this.

I do not have any information on any upcoming Loyalty Club restocks.  We usually do not find out until the day of.

Is it safe to say that for any future confirmed restocks, we can call and back-order, as long as its in the system that the shipment is coming?

I hate this sneaker 'game' 




Cant even get one single %!%#!*! pair at retail.

 

[transam]

If you back order do they hold onto the funds from your account until it ships?

 

[tidwelldaboss]

just got my order confirmation thanks niketalk!

You have to request for the gift box option to be added to your order.  Please note, this option is an extra $3.99, but it will make sure your shoes are double boxed when they get shipped out.

It is not safe to say this.  These shoes randomly became available for back-order this morning.  Best thing to do is keep checking back for any updates.

We do not charge you for a back-ordered item until the item has been packaged up and is ready to be shipped, as long as you use a credit/debit card on the order.  You may see a per-authorization hold on your credit/debit card for the order, but it should be released in 3-5 business days from today.

I guess it really all comes down to luck. There is a difference between checking the thread now and then and checking it every 10 minutes. I checked the thread right after my break and by that time, my size was freshly sold out as I was still on hold. If I had checked it maybe 5 minutes, or even 2 minutes before, I probably would've been able to have gotten my pair. The sad thing is, I have been checking this thread multiple times a day, this time, it just turned out I was checking it at the wrong time.

 

[firefly23]

 i just got hosed by eastbay playing the 20 question game then my size sold out after question 20 weak

D@*n you C++ midterm!!! Literally got out of class and looked this page up on my phone and saw they were already sold out (my size). I can't even be mad though. I was OD checking KD thread for ASG restock and lucked out on the super quick sellout via NBA Store. You win some, you lose some; that's just how it happens.

 

[parry36]

NOooooooo

I missed my only chance of getting the mints!

 

[purplehazen]

please let me see these in stores

you're right, sometimes it does just come down to plain luck, but so do releases that stick to a specific date/time.
i feel you have to be even more lucky when it comes to the 'countdown timer' type of releases.

but for this particular restock, someone posted on ISS about scooping a pair through phone order as early as 9:30 PST. i didnt see that post until 9:58 and called immediately and got lucky they still had my size in the mints.

I get what you're saying but this kind of info can me random at any given time of day. You're not going to be checking the site when you are driving to/from work or whatever. Where as on the 26th you'll know what time to expect. You really do need to be on the forums 24/7. It would cool if Eastbay gives you a call or email when some quickstrike info drops. haha
All good either way since I was able to get the kd4 yotd when the same info dropped for that.

pretty sure there will be a lot of questions on the eastbay twitter page regarding not available on the 26th

 

[dweeb813]

Wow eastbay are you kidding me?

screwed again out of retail because I thought I could relax.

Congrats to those who copped.

Really disappointed in Eastbay, but that's the game I suppose.

Guess I'll put some stuff in the B/S thread to get my funds up.
