the detail in these are WOW!!!

wish i had 550 layin around… these are amazing

Why do you have to look so good.. but with such a high price !!!?

When I read online release I got excited, but then when I saw the price it was an instant buzzkill.

These are pretty weak, lets face it. I respect the technique and skills used but if these were a GR release by Nike it would be thrown to the side, by “Us” as an “ok” shoe, if anything. I like his past work and respect what he does, I know some of you are thinking that I am hating just to hate, but $550???…Come on, these really are nothing special and just being hypebeasted over. IMO

high price + whack colors = hell mutha fuckin no. green and red is a no go. gum soles is whack too.

HOT!!! They dont even make my size. WHERES THE 12’s

I think these are pretty cool but not for $500.00 rocks hell no. $85.00-$150.00 at most.

Yo these are sick. Its crazy that there only 15 being released. I serious thinking about trying to get two pair of these i wonder how the resell value on this i will be. O for those who wonder about the green and red that gucci

^ GOOD LUCK TRYING TO GET TWO PAIRS. hahahahaha good luck trying to even get one buddy…^

resell probably for $2,000.00!!!!!

$550 is pushing it.

omg fuckin wack “and yess im hating”cause these are not worth 550 even though 15 pairs,wack ass color way too

how the hell do i order these if they arent showing an order form on royalefams website?? do you have to wait on the drop date for the order form to pop up??

im guessing the order form will show up on the site when the time hits?

550 and thats without the tax shippling and handling guys
I was going for these but for that price forget it
If thoes were Gucci lows then I would.
Resell price will nbe outragous

resell might be 5,000 dollars no lie only 15 limited the resell price will be high………

I got two pairs in a size 10.5 and the shipping was cheap, only $46! I cannot believe I got these bad boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya i got the other pair of 10.5 and a 10

i got 2 pairs also…size 9.5 and a 10

my friend has a pair so that already means theres only a few left to be accounted for i like the idea that the selvege was added and made by hand + the gucci colors these are really nice and make no mistake if i wore these im positive you guys would be sucking me off so stop hating cause you cant afford

hold your asses boys and check your inboxes…i just got an email saying that they oversold and they are sorting through the transactions. don’t get too excited yet.

These are a joke, $550 for some kicks, wtf?! if these came out limited to 15 pairs at $150 then they would be justified but at this price its just exploiting sneaker heads, it’s a complete joke, nike can piss off because this is NOT cool.

^ to above.
Nike has nothing to do with these. They are CUSTOMS.
Also, heads are paying 500+ every day for shoes that had thousands of pairs made in a factory. 500 for a one-of-15 hand-detailed pair from two famous artists is much better value, imo.
Anyways, I copped 9.5.. fingers crossed the order went through.
keep on hating.

Due to the overwhelming traffic, our online shopping cart wasn’t quick enough to update the stock quantity. We underestimated the response and the result was an oversold product. Everything happened in a short span of 60 seconds.

Right now we are working round the clock to sort out all the transactions.
We will notify you with an updated status of your order shortly.

Thank you for choosing Royalefam.

Best,

SBTG.

I did not get that email radicalmatzo and my credit card is showing a charge from Royalefam for the two kicks. I am keeping my fingers crossed big time. Everyone is hating and like alibi said people pay 4000 for shoes that are way higher in production such as the Paris Dunk. Also it not NIKE, they is a collabo between the two greatest custom sneaker designers, royale fam and Lazy.

Cormega,

My card got charged as well. Actually, i dont think i would have even received an email if i hadnt written them first to ask what the ETA would have been for the shoes.

I think I was able to buy one pair in size 9….

After your sale you should have been emailed from Royalefam & Shopper@uk.worldpay.com

What was your Merchant’s cart ID # in the Shopper@uk.worldpay.com email?

I was pretty fast and got #2…. A friend was right behind me and got #6.

i actually got ID #2 as well lol. Who knows whats going on over there, we’ll see.

i havent looked, but i did receive the email from royalfam as well as from worldpay.

yep, i got #2 as well.

Mine was #2 as well but I did not get any email from royalefam, just the woldpay.com email. I am going to be pissed if they pull some BS about how they oversold and thus cannot fulfill the order.

i got a 6

Radicalmatzo: I just got the same BS email you got from Royalefam after I inquired as to the status of my order and when it would ship. What are they sorting out, there are 15 pairs of shoes, it should take like 5 minutes. Just do it in the order of processed transactions. This is a total joke that they are saying it is taking them this long to figure it out. Also what kind of demand where they expecting! This is some serious BS.

Any idea when they going to resolve this? I did get an email from royalefam and worldplay.

Van what size did you order through them?

8.5

Has anyone heard anything yet from Royalefam?

Not a thing… and the money is still pending on my credit card.

I don’t like the way this feels… it’s almost as if they can’t figure out who got what, in what order.

Who knows how long this will take and how they will go about sorting them out.

Yeah I have emailed them like three time and I am getting no response. This is some serious amateur night stuff. There are only 15 pairs of shoes, so just look at when each transaction was processed and do it that way. It is not that complicated. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to get screwed. My credit card is still pending as well. Good to know other people are experiencing the same nonsense.

here it is…. I just got the email:

Dear Customers,

I hope this email finds you well.
I would like to thank you guys for purchasing at Royalefam.com beta site.
Some of you might be wondering about the reason for my late response.

If you have not received an email saying that your pair has been shipped,
it means your order went through after the 15 pairs were sold out.

You must be asking why is your credit card charged if that is the case.

To be totally honest, during the time of launch, there was extremely high traffic.
Royalefam.com received more than 4,000 hits, and we were not anticipating
traffic of such high magnitude.
Due to the outrageous response, our online shopping cart wasn’t quick enough
to update the stock quantity
and the result was an oversold product.
Everything happened in the extremely short span of 60 seconds or just one click of
the refresh button.

Your question would be, how hard is it to sort out 15 pairs of shoes?
Well the fact is we received a total of 56 orders.
That means there are 41 of you to satisfy.
I personally spent the whole of yesterday sorting out the order as fairly as possible.
Sieving through orders that are possible credit card frauds and questioning Worldpay
and my web developer
on how we can prevent and rectify such a situation.

The solution would be to give you guys what you came here for.
So, I’ve been trying to track down extra stock of the denim in from our overseas supplier.
I phoned Starks laces in NYC for the gucci laces.
Ive also gone to nike to dig up base shoes to use. It is very hard to have everyone’s size
in the same style.

But I will get these answers shortly.
We kindly request for your patience. You wont be disappointed.

I have decided to produce a very special release for you and that is what we have been
working around the clock for.
You will be updated with the “Paramount II” design within the next 72 hours.

For those of you who are thinking of getting refunded, the choice will be totally yours and
we respect your decision.
However, I strongly urge that you hang in there with us until I reveal that special design to you.

I hope I have answered most of your questions and you can pardon the mass email.

Yours,

–

Nolahead. Thanks. I got the same email. It looks like we are getting the Paramount II. Did anyone get the original shoe that posted on this board?

Thank you for your order at Royalefam.com on June 30, 2008, 9:57 am

Your item has been shipped

Congratulations

Receiving this email means that you are 1 of the lucky 15 that had the fastest fingers.
We put the shoes LIVE in store at 10am, and just a few seconds later
everything was gone in 1 click of the refresh button.

^^^ Thats the email I got

Nick:

Royalefam is shady. The email you got makes no sense, it says thanks for your order at 9:57 am, yet the shoes did not drop until 10:00am. This makes no sense and leads me to believe that they just picked the lucky 15 randomly. I emailed Royalefam to ask them if they are going to number the Paramount II. If they do not number it who knows how many pairs were made and what is the point of paying the same amount of money as the first ones, since they are not as limited. If anybody is feeling me, you should also email royalefam and tell them the same.

i just got an e-mail from him he said that the paramount 2’s will be limited to 15 pairs,i don’t know how they are going to do this.

YES!

I just got this email today:

Nolahead: This is so shady because you got the email saying you were getting the Paramount II and now you are getting the original Paramount. What is going on?

Marc

i got the same rejection email, but i got a shipping email this morning

im not believing anything until i have them

This is looking a little odd. Hopefully they come individually numbered or something. I check my tracking number though, and it says they have been shipped out.

where do you check it? what carrier does it ship thru

NICK-

What size did you order? what web site are you using to track with?

http://www.singpost.com

I ordered a 10.5

I recently sent them a messege regarding on if i get the paramount 2s it should cost me less because the change on the rarity and other things but this is what they replied…

We are planning something special for u.
and the rarity wont change.
plus we are doing a lot extra for u guys

if u insist on a refund, it is totally cool and i respect that.

if u can can u kindly pass the message to the forum.

Thanks

I would say either ask for a refund or be patient. I highly doubt that SBTG is going to put a bad mark on his name over something like this. He is very well-respected, and I think its for a reason. I for one am highly impressed with the contact they keep. Half the websites I email don’t even contact me back.

Does anyone on here think they are getting a pair of Paramount II in a size 9?

I would like to get my hands on them… if you have a chance at getting them in size 9 and would rather the refund let me know about it.

Any word on when we will see and get the Paramount II? Its been a full business week since the drop. Also more than 72 hours have passed since we were told the Paramount II would drop. Is anyone else as frustrated or confused?

2 new hi tops are on http://www.royalefam.com site right now….

These are the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen.

so yea i was one of the ppl who they fukd up the order on so i got first priorty on the paramount IIs so yesterday i got an email from mark at SBTG with the IIs so i Got THE PARAMOUNT CLOVER HIGHS even tho he said i can pick any base shoe and he’ll order it but i said i like these better so yea i got the clover highs with a free shirt and free shipping and handleing! so yea i happy i didnt get the paramount 1s!

the hi’s are better than the lows. the shoe sizes are whack, who the fuck has 10 and 11 size feet? fuckin little ass kids. weak sauce.

i have a size 10.5 in nikes

Got both of em and a shirt, resale gonna be crazy on the highs

i received my pair today!! paramount lo…size 9.5…#5 of 15!!

jmike. How do the lows look?

i love them

j mike what kind of box did they come in?

Got a pair for the orgiinal paramounts… size 8.5 (1 of 15). Looks fresh!

what kind of box did they come in?

looks like a regular box… nothing special… cardboard looking…

anyone interested in 8.5? getting paramount 2’s… so thinking of getting rid of the paramount one’s~

Van how are you getting the 2s if you got the 1s. I thought the 2s were only being sold to people that did not get the 2s. I am getting the 2s because I did not get the 1s. Let me know.
Thanks.

i just got my size 10’s, theyre really nice. but theyre up for sale.

I had two orders.. one went through and one didnt.. so i got the paramount I’s and II’s…

If anyone is interested in the I’s sz 8.5, email me.

the 2s look hot. i got 1 of 20 of the clovers.
