With each release of the Pharrell NMD Hu stock has risen, resell has dropped and demand has cooled off. Our expectations for this release are no different. While many people will still want this release for the name recognition the demand will be lower. The adidas online stock checker is currently showing 250+ pairs for adidas.ca online which would indicate a large release is incoming.
The last Pharrell NMD Hu release saw resell on the Pink Glow colourway drop to near retail in the US. With a high CAD retail + tax, there is a very good chance one or more colourways from this drop are attainable for near CAD retail on the secondary market.
We would not recommend ordering overseas unless you have a US address to ship to. Resell is not expected to stay above $400 USD once the release is done and will likely be in the low $300 USD (retail is $250 USD).
