Ask your shop nicely! Trust me
If someone talks to the right person, sure. But if you don't have the right cred, no dice. I'm saying that black teams have never been available as a standard in-line release.
a bit of taper, a lot of camber

I've been out of the shop world for a while now, but when I was getting teams, it was because I worked at the shop and was an avid rider. It was all up to the rep, and there were only so many he could flow. There was absolutely zero ability for a shop to simply order teams for someone because they asked nicely. It had nothing to do with that. If that has changed, fair enough, but I would be surprised.

The Union site says their replacement straps are "2016-present" but I have 2 pairs of 2013 Forces with ankle straps that are VERY shot. Was thinking some Burton hammockstraps could be a cheap option to keep them running. Plus I have Malavitas I could throw them on when those straps die.
you should be able to put the new Union straps on older bindings, you might just need the new hardware to work with those, as well.

I put a pair of the Exoframe 4.0 straps on a similar era (2012 or 13) Contact Pro's.
midwest is best

Being such a simple bolt-through-hole design, just about anything should work.

Dammit. You're the reason why lol. I saw a post on Reddit saying these are finally in stock last night and they're out of stock.

I've literally entertained buying a set of Select Pros just to fuck around with these lol.

Plus side, I would guess these will be easier to source going forward. YES bindings is way heavier on canted footbeds than the current NOW line.
