I'm fine with KKB. I probably wouldn't be motivated to spend GMK money on this set knowing that vendors would likely have to buy out MOQ and it'd eventually go on sale for less than GB price.

Purchased.

If you like the colourway I'd really encourage you to give it a go, you'll be surprised  :D The KKB quality is great, you're still getting doubleshot cherry ABS with clean legends. I've been dailying my sets for quite some time now and absolutely love them

Hey Henchmen - I'm really sorry to announce that due to poor sales we've decided to cancel this set. This means all orders including those for the HIBI collaboration will be cancelled and refunded to you. I expect individual vendor communication will happen soon now that we've come to this decision.

This is a hard decision and it wasn't made without me attempting to negotiate, including offering to forego designer fees and get this made in stock as all I really wanted all along was to see this product come to fruition. This isn't the end, and I'll continue to try and work towards getting this made, perhaps with another manufacturer or profile or a different sales model.. we'll see.

Thank you to everyone who supported the set, and I'm really sorry to disappoint. Hopefully one day I'll find a way to get Henchmen into your hands. Stay tuned.
