With that said, I thought all 3 were released the same day the BB4's had a GR but only at select stores or Niketowns. That is how some people have XT4's, since they had a limited release before their GR got scrapped.

The only Shox I'm unsure of is the Olympic BB4's. I don't remember if they came out before the black/silver/lapis BB4's but I am certain that the black/silver/lapis BB4's were the first GR (while the XT4's and R4's had a limited release that same day). I think the blk/sil/lap came out first since the Syndey Olympics took place in Oct. but I'm not 100% sure.

Great post! I am almost certain the Olympic colorway came out (online) first.

Yeah, the Olympics were the only ones I was unsure of.

I think I remember the XT4 being held back due to the fact that it did not feature the transition wedge between the shox unit and the forefoot... there wereworries about how the structure of the shoe would be effected, and also that it may cause injury or discomfort to the consumer.
