I've heard of some items purchased overseas having customs fees attached in some cases and this is only like the third time I've purchased from overseas so I'm not the most knowledgable on the topic, but I have yet to have been hit with customs fees on overseas purchases so far. All of my orders were less than $200 USD

Sneakernews show the royal with the 101 code not 102, an error maybe that means its the same as march

First of all, the Red Anniversary's aren't a GR but a QS (at least in europe).
They came in pretty huge numbers (some stores in europe still have some sizes left) but only NDC and Stores with an at least QS Account got them. Neither the chains nor the Regular Stores got them or could order them. But I would say, who really wanted to cop should have a pair by now - so all good.
For the numbers, first batch in march Solebox had 12 Pairs and only instore in Berlin. This time they had them online and in every store(Berlin,Amsterdam,Wien,Munich). Instore Berlin they had like 36 Pairs, probably even more.
In march I waited around 12hours in line to get them, and the list was closed like hours before they opened. So several ppl had to go home empty handed.
This time I waited 3 hours, and a couple others like 15 or so as well. But we could have come 10minutes after store opening and still would have gotten our size.
Sidenote for the Adidas vs Nike comparission(@dblplay1212):
This weekend was also an Adidas NMD Release at solebox. Exactly 3 Kids wanted the adidas and ~15 waited for the AM1 (mostly kids between 12-18 as well).

I would say an error as the other stockists have them as 102

Shouldn't the blues be 104?
The march release for the reds was 100, the blues 101.

No they don't. Just recieved a pair two weeks ago.
On the denims the mudguard is basically the same like the last year but the toebox is sligthly better.
The regular pairs have the exact same shape (toebox and mudguard) like last year. There is absolutly no difference.

Hopefully the blues will be as easy as the reds. And maybe they will throw a bone and re stock the masters or the atmos. I doubt it because everyone pretty much complained on how the OGs were too limited so this is Nike saying my fault fam. About to start checking my local spots next week for the early cop

For the 100 vs 103 shape discussion:
The pairs seem to have indeed a different shape, first I thought it's typical Nike quality check (means no qc) but I've two pairs 103 with different production dates from different stores. And I've seen it at all pairs I had in hand @release. The mudguard on the 100 / 101 (and the tonal pack) have a height of 2,5cm (1") the 103 have a height of 2,0cm(0,78").
Therefore the march release has the better (because heigher mudguard) shape. Also the eyelet had (on all pairs I've seen) the slightly darker shade.
I couldn't spot a difference regarding the midsole
BTW the shape of the 103 0,78" Mudguard seems to be the shape all the actual pairs (Ridegrock, Mushrooms etc) tend to have.
Here's my comparison.
Measured at the oblique seam, it's kinda hard to shot right with the right angle, this is the best i could get.I hadn't that much time.:
100 in the middle
103 / 103 / 100

As someone who bought the wheat and grey pair couple years ago or last year and was severely disappointed with the shape, the minute differeces between the 100 and 103 don't bother me.
I've always assumed there would always be slight differences between every single pair made in a batch.
I'm just glad we've got a decent shape now and not this

Personally, I can't get down with mismatch shoes like this, I need sh*t to match up when I look down lol. Def a dope idea, I would have stuck with the orange layout for both shoes.
But again - he made these for himself, so as long as he's happy!
