Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

From what I've heard from foot locker employees, Bred 1s are not as simple as General Releases. A few Foot Locker stores without HOH are getting them as well but only like 20 pairs for those (these FL usually do FCFS too so it'll be chaos). Bigger FL with HOH will get around 90, but raffles for them (Monday and Tuesday I've heard so far)). Select Champs will get them too but raffle only and are only doing one day sign up at specific time frames too. 11am-5pm on the Monday I've heard.

Not disputing what you're saying but Sherway isn't a HOH and they're doing a raffle. Some non HOH Locations will get a reasonable amount of stock. But not all of them like you said.
 
I don't believe it applies to all of the FL definitely, but that's basically the round up from what I got based on that employee.

Hopefully everyone here eats, I'm personally not going for them but I'm going to be entering the raffles to help out my coworker.
 
Halton Hills:

Tf cropped are xl, for 99.97 + 30 off. Saw about 3 pairs

They have some Jordan 2 Chicago for 149.97 and 25% off. Only sizes 7-8 though.

Had a couple of Chicago city series 10s on hash for 159.97 + 25% off, but they were taken

Also, one pair of olive suede Foamposite 1, size 17 on hash. Forgot the price, like $200ish

^ Interesting, raffle at Sherway. Thought they were always doing FCFS over there.

Nah they've been doing raffles recently. Forgot what drop triggered the chage, but the camping out at that mall (being a high-end spot) forced them to switch to raffles.
 
Bred 1s are a GR, but the term "general release" is kind of stretched in 2016. Most stores across the GTA will get them, but stock will be very small in most locations. Only major Footlocker and Champs locations will get large amounts. Boutiques will have a moderate amount, while smaller FL and Champs locations will have very small stock. Most places across the GTA are doing raffles with maybe the exception of 3-5 stores (this hasn't changed going back to last year, and I don't see it changing this week).

If you really want the sneaker, put in the work and stop depending on forum posts. Tomorrow morning start calling all the FL, Champs and see what the release and raffle procedures are. Most will probably have raffles from Mon-Tues. Others may only do tomorrow, and beware of the Champs inside of Eaton Centre since that staff are notorious for shady tactics.

Boutiques will either have raffles all week, or save it until the end of the week. Call or check their IG accounts.

That's really all to it.

Same. I stocked up during the last drop in 2013 to avoid all the madness going on now. I'm only going to try and get pairs for friends who weren't able to get the 2013s.

Update re: Sneaker Snatching/Robbery...

The person who had robbed my buddy was caught. Big thank you to the guys at 42 Division. I personally went there with my buddy last night to pick up his sneakers from them, and sat with them for a bit to discuss how it went down. (I am a lawyer and five years ago before coming back to the GTA, I use to work in the U.S. at a prosecutors office in Louisiana, so this stuff is second nature to me.)

Warning to all thugs:
Officers and detectives in the GTA are very proactive on these matters. It is considered a Roberry and WILL GET YOU A CRIMINAL RECORD. The manpower assigned to this was astonishing, and also to those who think they will get away with it, let this be your example.

I wish the officer in charge of my case would do something. We haven't heard anything from him in a long time

Can you kindly elaborate on these shady tactics they pull if you can? Are they rigging the raffles for their benefit?

Champs Eaton Centre is FCFS always. My guess is that they hide pairs in the back, say they're sold out, and then sell em to their homies/friends/family, even though people lined up or camped for them.

I don't know about "always" but I've signed up for raffles there a few times in the past 12 months.

They don't announce they're doing raffles. There have been times people have called in the past and employees have said they're not doing raffles, to then find out they did a raffle for one-day (usually a Monday) and during a terrible time period (open-4). Pretty much tactics so their employees have a better chance at winning. That's a location you actually have to physically go by and see if they're doing a raffle.

Wow, I stand corrected then. When I went to inquire a few months ago about a different shoe, they said how they're always FCFS. Super shady stuff.
 
Square One Champs said they not getting any. I went to the store this morning. 

STC Champs shut down their raffle already.

This is true as I went this morning and so is EC Footlocker. Ateaze is doing raffle on IG and DM FootLocker is FCFS also. I missed out on the 2013 and hope I don't strike out this time, fingers crossed. Hope all this running around and putting in work pays off.

I was pretty surprised too to hear that considering Square one is a pretty big account.

Did you ask them why, or was it just left at that? Just seems really weird that a premier location wouldn't have em. What if they were caught tampering with previous draws or something?

Champs Launch Locator doesn't have them listed either, but has Bramalea, STC, Yorkdale, and the two Downtown locations. Something must have happened.
