So what time do the Bruce Lees drop online? What sites will they be available on? Are these going to be more limited than the DKs?

Definitely wait. At least until the 20th.
Nike absolutely might have just done the early drop to build up expectations and then make it a GR once heads get talking. I'd say that's what's happening so far. It makes a lot of business sense to release these later this month. I know if it doesn't come out you still might have to drop 2 bills, but it's worth waiting for a few weeks to see if you could cop them for retail

I really hope I don't regret not buying the DKs on sneakerhead.

180 on sneakerhead really isn't bad...I paid almost 170 for mine...retail+tax+shipping+tip.
It might be a wise choice to wait till the 20th, but if for some reason they don't drop on the 20th resell prices WILL go up.
Gamble you gotta take either way you go....

If the DKs are releasing again, why would anyone buy for over retail now?
So there is a high possibility the DKs are not being re-released?

I played in my DKs last night for the first time. I had been regularly wearing the POP 4s and LBJ 6s for the past few months, but decided to take the plunge. My game is nowhere near impressive, explosive, or dominating, but I actually had a few moments last night.
Don't know that the shoes were entirely to thank, but they certainly felt good. Here are a few initial impressions.
1. I think they improved the cut in the ankle area, as the 5s dont dig when fully laced into any ankle area(bone) like the 4s tended to do for me. Maybe I am isolated in that happening, but another buddy mentioned this to me as well about his.
2. They feel more secure and "locked down" in the entire rearfoot, and actually more stable as I think some have alluded to. The main difference to me from the 4s is, in addition to feeling "lower" due to the zoom, they feel more connected to your feet. The shoe feels like an extension of your foot, versus, a shroud or covering that is protecting your foot. The 4 did a good job of lowering the profile of everything, but I think the 5 has nearly perfected what the 4 set out to do.
3. I was skeptical about the lacing/laces- thinner than the 4s and sorta short, but they actually worked fine and stayed in place throughout the entire evening of pick-up.
Just a few points. I look forward to wearing them again, and seeing if they continue to impress as much as the intitial outing. Am curious if those who wear 4s are moving onto the 5s now for good and back and forth?

^^^ Yup definitely feels like it's more secure in the ankle. Broke in my Chaos V a couple of months ago and it only took a day for my feet to get adjusted to how the shoe feels. Been switching back and forth with IV and V and the weight difference is actually noticeable, at least for me.

Even though the V's are lower, my ankle feels much more stable. I found the IV's to dig into my ankle bone as well, which had the complete opposite effect of a low cut shoe (more range of motion).
I love my V's! Thinking of going through the hassle (I live in Canada) of ordering some id's
