Sound like the 4 month delay now requested for Olympic homologation is not aligned with their initial industrialization plan, creating some shortage for the initial deliveries (or specification issue for Brook ?).
You're right. Just last week, Saucony had a release date of 4/14 for the Endorphin Pro, but now it says "coming soon". There are a bunch of these floating around online, as Saucony gave away a bunch at the trials. I've seen a couple pairs online for sale already. Adidas has a hard date on their Adizero Pro as well.
But yeah, no word from New Balance officially from what I have seen, but people are saying 3/14 or 3/15 timeframe for the Fuel Cell TC, and supposedly the RC. This despite NB athletes have been using it for nearly a year.
Now that I think about it, my guess is none of these brands, Nike included, had hard dates set for their various products, but are now scrambling due to the WF deadlines that were imposed. Still.. what a mess.
