I remember choking over buying my 2 pairs for around $220 each, feeling like I spent way too much

They are only + enabled, do not come with sensors. So if you want those, sold separately...

Lol Grinches could be found for around retail back in 2010 and early '11. It's crazy how times change isn't it?

only thing stopping me from getting a pair im either going to wait for a huge discount coupon or sale 220 is just to much for the shoe even with how much im dying to get them

Eastbay will have another 20% off $99 soon, so you can get em again then.
No tax, free shipping and the Elites come double boxed from Eastbay make them the way to go for me.

I'm waiting for Eastbay to drop the price alittle on the Black/gold then use my 25% but I got a feeling they would put the restriction back on when they do that. We'll see.

That's whats up right there cuz man I love those shoes I balled twice in them and they are amazing. I got the volts sulfers about to get the black elites and hopefully the gradients. Only thing im worried about with the elites is if the gold in the back will rub off. my friend got the 7 elites and the swoosh is all messed up

do you guys think the elites are better than the regular 8s? as far as comfort goes.

For casual, I prefer the softer feel of the lunar insole over the zoom found in the Elite.
Haven't tried the Elite performance wise tho.

Close call but I almost want to say that the regular 8's are better for performance. They seem to respond a little better but the elites seem to be more durable. The way the heel feels in the elites when changing directions quickly is something I didn't like. However, I didn't have time to break them in. when I first got my regular 8's I didn't like them performance wise until they broke in a bit. Tough call but the elites are a great looking shoe and I think after they break in ur looking a solid shoe either way.

You said they could be found for around retail in 2010. They came out December 25 2010. It was just odd phrasing to me. No big deal.

grinches where totally comparable to mc's, I paid 220 overseas to guarantee my pair, struck the f out on eastbay...that was phone days and they didn't set the que system the night before(holiday for the loss) some people got through multiple times, while I sat on a non existent wait list for like 45 min before they dropped it. They where 200+ that week, but they didn't go the crazy crazy prices tell this last year, last time I had looked they where like 350ish, then all of a sudden they where 500....

I still prefer the midnight Eastern releases but I'm just happy I got through on NDC for the Grinches. And yeah, it blew my mind to see how much they are going for now.
