I agree. Witnessed this with the sharpie penny pack and red 11lab4 release. Always a group of guys in front and they let their buddies jump in a few minutes before the release time. Those were the last and final time I will ever line up at Nike DC. It's either online, raffle, connect, reseller...
This helps out a lot. I am also a true size 11 but for some shoes I have to go a half size up. I have a $20 vip reward from footlocker so I'll wait for a while before I cop the northern lights. Many thanks!
Nike rep said only return since it is an exclusive product. At least I have another pair from Ruvilla and a friend of mine has an extra pair that is willing to sell for retail
