If there is something that you really want that is excluded... buy a shoe that is that same exact price and then after the 50 have your girl or one of your boys come swap it out for the shoe you really wanted as long as its still available, even if you have to stock locate it and pay the $3 shipping fee..  one of the easiest ways to get around the exclusions..  if you want the flip 3's, just buy a pair of air max 2011's.. both are $160 so it would be an even exchange and you would end up getting them on the 50..  wouldn't try doing it for more than one or maybe two shoes per EA.. footlocker is one of the easiest companys to swap things at..  especially since they are so slow on marking shoes down.. i've gotten $160 shoes at the nike outlet with the ftl sticker still on the  box (although they are getting better at covering them up on some things) for under $100 or even cheaper.. and then taken them to footlocker and exchanged for something brand new that just came out or our gotten a gift card and then used it on release day for a retro..  again, not something I did or would suggest doing all the time, but there are always ways around the system, especially since they aren't supposed to ask for your id and you can give them whatever name/info you please...  

it's hit or miss depending on the store you go to.   technically there supposed to do their job and follow COMPANY POLICY and take the exchange without asking questions and giving runaround, but we all now footlocker employees like to make up their own self imposed make believe rules.

i wouldn't be suprised at all for employees to bs on an exchange for a new release item and try to give some type of excuse.  you can force their hand and call corporate and they'll either make them honor the exchange or have you mail the shoes back to corporate  (with them covering shipping and they'll mail you a merchandice return card)

some stores will be cool and not cause any problems but some employees will.  i just hate the hassle of dealing with douchbag employees, who don't release that their an at will employer and them pissing me off by not following COMPANY POLICY can cost them their job if they piss me off enough with their attitude and i decide to make a call to corporate and send an email to footlockers higherups about the terrible customer service i experienced in store.
