I bet not a single legitimate PPG fan got to actually buy the sneakers. They were all gone within hours and reappear on the reseller market for >$250 each. Also fuck Nike for making such a limited edition sneakers. I refuse to play their game.
Thankfully there's always the 1:1 bootleg replica market. It is actually nice that you don't feel bad wearing your sneakers outside like a regular human being rather than keeping them in the closet.
Uniqlo is good for basics. Maybe Japan had better inventory. I know a lot of western tourists are ecstatic visiting Japanese gas stations to buy microwave food and Kit Kats lol. So weird.
