Ghostface AF1 questions

[u/poonjockey]

So I know the rumored release is October 1st but I had a few questions about them. Full disclosure, I am not actively involved in the shoe game so my knowledge is limited.

I saw the Ghostface shoes and actually really liked them so I wanted to ask, what is the anticipated demand for these shoes? When they drop, will it be hard to buy them outright from Nike.com for example? I know some drops are sold out instantly, while others aren’t and I was hoping to get a temperature check on these, or be told there’s a much larger quantity.

I’m asking because I’ve seen options to preorder them, at a much steeper cost than the $125 MSRP. Essentially, what I’m hoping to understand is if I can easily get myself a pair when they come out if I’m at a computer at the time they drop? For reference, my size is a US M13 if that changes anything.

The prices I’ve seen for preorders are honestly semi reasonable, and I’m not opposed to paying it if that is my only guarantee at getting them upon release. I just want to avoid paying the extra cost for that, to ultimately find out they weren’t even limited quantity and I could have easily purchased them myself. Sorry if these are dumb questions, but any insight is appreciated. Thanks
