Those mesh Office exclusives - how exclusive are they? Do adidas make them specifically for Office, or are batches released around the world?

It depends there are 2 types of exclusives SMU (special make up) and ABO (additional business opportunity).

SMU's are specially made to meet the retailers requirements, so are normally just for that customer, however can be shared with other retailers from other subsiduaries, i.e Schuh models may have been shared with a German retailer, Spanish retailer etc.
ABO's are an inline style with a colour/material change made to it.

So if they are an SMU to office, then office should be the only place in the uk you will find it. If its inline then you will find most colours in more than one retailer, but office will have one (maybe more) colour(s) exlcusive to them (an ABO).

Hope thats easy to understand.
