Nice shoe, but think I’ll have to return these.

Yeah those def need to be returned. Can't stand one tumbled one smooth.

 

[freshkicks95]

Not mad at these. The smooth midsole is jarring and so foreign feeling, but they’re dope. Def gonna need a couple more to beat up.

As mentioned, these might be SOTY for me. Definitely need to stock up on these.

Didn’t notice that at first

Snkrs with the fake sell out

 

[brucefan74]

Got em. Now the hunt for sites with at least 30-40% off codes begins haha

 

[joecurr]

Every size back in stock on SNKRs

I will never understand the logic behind the fake sell out. All they are doing is creating a false sense of demand, which could only backfire on Nike since folks will rage purchase on other places like eBay/StockX/Goat. What's the point of doing that? Some sort of artificial scarcity to make the folks who copped feel lucky? So damn weird to me.

Could it be enough people cancel in the 30 min window after purchase since it didn't sell out at other stores and they put that stock back on the app?

Or Nike is playing games...lol

 

[Fozz]

Welp. Ordered my pair of Shimas through Oneness lol.

 

[boomroasted]

Yea I always thought the fake sellout was hilarious. Not sure what the point is, if they fool anyone into thinking a shoe will flip or whatever, they'll just cancel or return. Same if people find a better deal a couple weeks later.

 

[playaproved]

I think it’s a mixture of cancellations, hype generation, “cart holds”, failed payments and who knows what else.

It's all marketing.

morning pickup

These are looking nice in person.

 

[Otaku]

Not everyone is as diligent as we are. Some just click buy and go along their way.

This.

It's extremely annoying as a customer that seems to be shadow banned from SNKRs tho. I've literally taken L's on numerous shoes that are back on the app within hours.

I'm at a point I don't even try SNKRs anymore (which is literally Nikes Direct to consumer AKA extreme profit, line of business).

Me too; need these. Hope they're not hard to get. I'm tired of jumping thru hoops for sneakers. Seems like a lot of hate for these, so hopefully RD is not too difficult...fingers crossed!

 

[pwguy]

Just from a quick try on I’d say they feel about the same as the Anniversary’s tbh. I’d imagine that midsole will soften up with some break in though.

Size wise I went with my usual half size up (11.5) in Air Max and they fit great. Maybe a little narrower than the Anniversary’s, but nothing worth sizing up over.

Where did you acquire?

 

[Fozz]

Man, I want to grab big bubbles already.

 

[therealest1]

These like look any average general release.

Appreciate the insight.

Do these fit similar to the AM III's that released a couple years ago? Thanks in advance.
