"UPDATE - These two shoes will now release at the three stores listed above this Thursday July 9 at 6pm. They will sell out fast so line up early so you don't miss out!

Also, due to the very limited nature of these shoes and the high demand, there is a limit of one of each style per customer, and you will have to be in line to have a chance to nab a pair - there are no holds and no lay-bys."






edit, just got info from the gearge street store that they will be $170 per pair.
apparently the George street store only has one pair in each size and smallest size is 9! no doubt some worker there is a size 8 and has nabbed them already.

hopefully the melbourne and perth stores have more variety in sizes.

i was going to make a trip from canberra from these but the chances of me missing out are too great to make it worthwhile.

Ditto, however $170 bucks for shoes I probably wont even get to try on before I buy... i'm contemplating!!!

I spoke to one of the guys at George Street and he confirmed the ridiculously small delivery run. It's typical of this sort of limited release sneaker, to be honest.

A 6pm release sucks, mind you. Often the Nike releases are on opening on Saturday mornings - it's not easy lining up for a 6pm thursday release if you have... a life

I'm not planning on grabbing either pair anyway (even though the Bumblebee Zoom Fun Police looks nice), but given the hassle of getting them, I can't say I'd be bothered if I did want them.

To be fair, the manager there (who collects sneakers) is a size 11. So I'd say that's on the level

They usually get more size 10 & 11 than anything else, and often the very small sizes (8, 7.5) and very large sizes (13) are under represented. They rarely get 12.5 or 14+ in these releases at all. Makes sense mind you - sz 10 is the most common men's size in Nike.

The Thursday night release is annoying for me as I get paid Friday but strange they are only getting Bumblebee & Megatron, I wanted soundwave but damm $170 a pair may just have to wait

oh well i guess the size didnt matter, i wasnt plannign on wearing them anyways.


i think i'll save my pennies for the Jordan 1 Defining moments pack next week.

[dirge]

Heh I'm sort of tempted by that, mainly for the Boston pair - I have the black/red lows and I'm happy enough with that.

I'm saving my pennies for the Jordan IIIs next month!

darockk, I assume you're a size 8? Do you normally have trouble getting sz8 in Canberra?

nope, im normally able to find size 8 in Nike's, jordans and any other footlocker brands no problems. Occasionally they will be out of size 8 though, i had always assumed it was becasue it was a more common size and sold out first lol i thought the larger sizes were available coz no one wanted them that big but i guess its possible they plan to have so many in stock if they are a common size? just surprised that they couldnt even get ONE size 8 for the transformers shoes.
id hate to be someone who lines up early wanting that size
