How New Balance Remade the 2002 Into an Unlikely Hit
This is a old article but it's a good read about the evolution from the $250 2002 to the more budget friendly 2002r and it's new found status among hype sneaker crowd

"The 2000 series, it was a super expensive price point, nothing really rivaled that within our brand at the time," says Andrew Nyssen, who designed the upper of the original New Balance 2002. "Back then, I was not making as much as I do now, so I was like, 'Man, who would spend that much money on this shoe?' Could not even fathom paying full price for that thing. But there is so much technology and so forth that goes into it that you can see just how there is all that value."

Them Panda Dunks might be one of the most difficult to cop shoes of all time :russ:

Factor in the amount of restocks and how I’ve bricked on every one. I don’t even want them shyts like that, I’m trying to cop out of spite at this point :mjlol:

So they over-allocated the stock they sold to resellers and are struggling to procure more in order to not get called out/sued for false advertisement.

They pulled the bait and switch on the original email as it originally said that pairs would ship immediately upon paying the invoice and then changed it up on the following email to that they would ship 8-14 days after. There are still local pairs that haven't even shipped yet, so I don't trust that I'll actually get them until they ship.

In hindsight, they really should have just delayed the 2nd half of the drop until they got shyt figured out instead of opening it back up and making things worse. A lot of these boutiques just don't have the resources or infrastructure in place to handle these type of mass drops and what comes along with it.
