The doors open and everyone starts speed walking trying to get to Champs first...We get to the front of Champs and the manager is like get in the order you got here...so I try to get in my spot but sure enough being the youngest and only white kid there I totally get disrespected and cut in front of and can't get back to my spot...one dude even said "Hey man he was here before you..." but he just ignored him...ended up not getting the shoes...I swear I will never get over this...never felt so disrespected and empty in my life.
DAMNNNNNNN!
Naw, but seriously that's crazy. If you haven't got them already you should try ebay. I've noticed prices starting to fall.

i got a story about teh 11/12 package
so my friend and i are PUMPED to get them. We plan everything out, we're gonna stay up all night and drink and go wait in line around 330-400 am with a cooler of beer and just keep drinking. So we're at a party, its about 300 am, we figure we'll drive to my boys house, and get some food. Well we get their, eat some food. Next thing i know i wake at like 8 amto like 10 missed called and 8 texts from my other friend who is at champs waiting in line. I call him and he tells me they're sold out. So i wake my friend up, and we go to Jus Shooz (hole in the wall shoe store that charges like 50 bucks more) cause they were suppost to get be getting them. We get there and there is about 6 people in line. So im like, alrigt cool "we're good, we'll be getting them". So about 4 hours pass, its winter and I live in MI, so it is FREEEEZZZING. Store finally opens and it ends up they only got like 2 pairs in sizes 9.5-12. I swear, it was almost a riot. So amny people were getting pissed. The store clerks qucikly thougth of a plan and told every one "We will be getting more, if you leave your name and number with teh size you want, we will call you when they come in!". More never came, and I got screwed outa getting my 11/12
Morale of the story, dont get drunk on the night before a release

wow, thats a cold blooded friend
are you and him still friends? or did it end when you saw your kicks at his house?

One of the greatest Kobe/MJ moments, that I've heard about, was when Kobe wore, I believe they were Jordan III's to welcome MJ, during his first year playing for the Wizards, to LA...during one moment...It was reported that MJ looked down at Kobe's shoes...and uttered the words..."Those shoes are too big for you to fill..." Classic.
and you walked right by smhOriginally Posted by RyGuy45
I remember walking into Sportmart in 1994 and seeing boxes and boxes of AJ I and II retros sitting on a table for $29.99 and no one paying attention to them.
