The only downside is that you work at a shoe store, and unless you the manager, you're making close to minimum wage.  Sort of offsets the discount... assuming it's not your (part-time) second job.  I would be BROKE if I were in your position.

Now that I think about it, all these cats who work at the fnl/footlocker/champs etc are the ones driving up the price, limiting the stock and making it harder to copp, it's so easy for them to pick up multiple pairs, and because they make no money of course they going to try and re-sell.  smh. 
its not about the money, its about doing what you love

SMH at this guy trying to preach bull shet.

I agree with you man.  Why do so many people always have to share their purchasing/ receiving details about every release?  Who gives an iisshh.

Probably one on ice, one to rock, two+ to sell.  I'm not a re-seller, I've never sold a shoe over retail, but I'm assuming that's what's going on considering the huge flood of sneakers on ebay, CL, etc...

After hours and hours of sitting, the doors open and these flashlight cops were letting to people in 10 at a time. By now, it was over 500 people outside. Once the people started pushing and shoving, the police called for backup and then closed down every store in the mall. Some of the people that just got their at  6 am when the stores opened secured their pairs because of skipping awhile others that been their since 12pm the day before walked out with nothing. Like always, people could stand for that so we tried to sneak in the mall through macys or any outside store we could find, but did not succeed. We heard gunshots and some people got robbed which forced the news people to come out annd more cops to prevent rights. 6 fights happened including a fight between a guy and a girl. Left greenspoint since I had a feeling I would secure and went to willlowbrook to nothing but kids and infants sizes. The associate tried to be funny saying they had my size 13 or 14 in the back and had the nerve to bring me out an infants size and laugh. I told the !**+ ill catch his @** off work and then the his whole mood changed like naw homie i was bringing that size foir someone else so i told him that what i thought and dont think that referee shirt gon save u cuz ill bring the drama to you. Left that mall and winded up at northwest mall to a packed line. Made us stand in the line all this time to tell us they had no mens sizes whatsoever liaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars. I had to get the 411 so I snuck into Palis Royal burnt off from the cops(not mall cops) and ran into the manager eating in the lobby. Asked him were the sold out of a size 14 in mens and he told me no. I went into footaction and he brought my size to the front paid for them and the !**+ at the register wasnt paying attention and rung me up for 2pairs one in men and one in infants and told me they were non returnable ******%%t. Secured my pair and went to another footaction at another mall and returned them and they put the money back on my card. This release was hectic but like i said before the release "many will enter few will win"

lol, that boy said bring the drama, houston is always crazy, never again will i camp for shoes in that city though, 11/12 pack opened my eyes to how shady these stores/people is
I was at greenspoint. Thats $#@% was crazy. I had to sneak in from another entrance too. By the foodcourt. $@$# footaction! They sold me some defects. One shoe has high patent leather and the other is cut low as hell. Left shoe feels great while the right shoe is overly tight around the toes.
mad.gif
 They said i can return for my money back. I dont want the money I want a decent pair that aint defects. Im so pissed
  
 
I got too lucky yesterday yall...I had FNL employee hold me a pair that I only intend to sale. I was supposed to be there at 7:15 at the latest. I ended up going to the Water Tower to get some for a friend. I got my
pimp.gif
on and missed the exit to where I was going. Walk in there and the dudes behind the counter had a look like they had just seen a ghost. Ask me if I needed help and I said I had a pair on hold.

Turns out the manager had just called in to see if I had picked up my pair and they had a guy at the counter exhanging something else for them. I got there right on time. Had I missed a light? DEAD Had I gotten pulled over? DEAD...the guy behind the counter said he never has seen anything like it and the would be customer left so salty. They even told me to play the lottery b/c my luck was on unlisted levels.

All went well, I got mine for me and the babies and all my friends got their pairs

The ONLY time I can see that being a reasonable statement.  I worked at FINL for 7 years (high school thru college) and hope to never go back.

I'd rather be in a position to buy my j's retail (or with markup if need be) and not even care about an employee discount.

I don't give a damn what people do.  I got mine so I could care less what people do with theirs.  I just think it's not so awesome the lack of effort or struggle.  But hey, everybody got their own role.

Something about XIs bring out the worst in people here in Houston.
crazy...I'm in Afghanistan safer over here than ya'll waiting for the release in H-Town...

The only reason why I bought 4+ pairs is cause you can't pass up $105.00

how come niketalk does not allow this when users can promote through signatures?  It might be an indirect way to advertise but it is still being "posted" within the thread

Because of SWOOSH?

I bought enough because I don't know when JB will pull the XI route.  I'll wear mines way later, and store it away, but will give one to my little bro for his upcoming season.  He plays on the court and destroyed the DMP XIs I gave him.
