NOLA Sneakerheads Pickups & Info ALA,MS,TEX Welcome

I'm with you air4life. I may hit a raffle here and there last two were the concord lows and bel airs, but I ain't about that line action. If I miss then I miss. Restocks have been good to me though so I can't complain too much.
 
@tone *************.com they have a market place forum that's second to none it also goes by in style shoes (ISS) but the official site is *************.com
 
Wow!!!!! NT blocked the website out! Lmao thats crazy guess they must know SC is a website that is on their level
 
It's a long running beef between management teams on the two sites. ISS is no longer affiliated with SC and actually sponsors this site and runs contests. While I'll admit that their marketplace is pretty good, there's been a lot of missteps with it in the past few years and I find that marketplace here gives you more variety.

For instance I'm kind of hooked on older AF1s and there's some guy listing a ton of AF1s with a list price of $8 but he won't specify what he's actually looking for. I don't want to play 20 questions to find out how much someone wants for their item, list it at the price you want, haggle if you want to move it.
 
True for the most part. I mess with them rural stores that no one thinks about for raffles. I don't waste my time in the main chains getting tickets unless it's GS. Even Sports Plus is charging $50-$75 extra to "secure your spot" for a release here in BR
 
There's a Sports Plus in BR? I've only entered a raffle for one release, and I ended up getting called from 2 stores. I don't tend to go for stuff that would even be raffled though, not that big on Jordans and my Nike Basketball collection is pretty light. This is why I spend a lot of time ordering off the net, my interests aren't really well represented here.

I was wondering why it wasn't showing up as ISS anymore but they still have some ISS banners on their site. Maybe I'm missing something but their marketplace seems a lot more extensive imo but NT forums are a whole lot better though

Fellows we kno raffles aren't legit!!
Yes because in Baton Rouge dudes already have the penny shooting stars pack and 5lab3 on lock before the people have been selected at HOH.

Yes we have a sports plus in Baton Rouge but it is nothing like the one you all have. We only get general releases and they charge $300 for big release items in adult and GS sizes

I do raffles also because sometimes you will get lucky and the store will get more pairs than the manager can sell out the back door. LMAO but it is true . I got a couple pairs of preludes and gammas on the restock because the store got more than they expected.. I don't do long lines, camp outs, or pay more than retail for any shoe.

You really think raffles aren't legit???? Lol!!!
I'm sure the shoes that actually make it to the raffle actually get raffled. What I'm saying is most of them don't make it to raffle so you hoping for crumbs.
Nuttkaze knows what you mean

.  We are pawns in this shoe game. If you don't have connections that are managers you are basically limited. A regular employee can only get what the manager tells him/her they can get so they are limited to how much they can help you out after they have filled their own needs for shoes.

@collector true story I know of managers charging extra $50-100 on every pair of jays walking out their store. I only buy jays if it's a colorway I've never had before other wise I'm on Nike Basketball or SBs............With that being said anybody plugged on the carmines sz 13? haha I know at least one dude in this thread that is holla at me kidd kidd
 
I haven't copped a Jordan release on release day since cool Grey XIs. I just don't want to miss out on one of the few releases I have an interest in.
 
Bleu u plugged like that??
I had a solid plug in Oakwood he doesn't work there anymore but like I said I don'treally buy many jordans only OG colorways I've never had. An these my friend are an OG colorway I've never had! haha so I don't wanna miss
 
That thing is awful. Way to sucker people into spending 250 for that new shoe and 250 for a shoe that should have come out before they milked foams for all they were worth. It'll sell though and people will make money flipping it, so my opinion doesn't really matter, but you wouldn't catch me buying or wearing either of the shoes in that release.
 
I'm comin outta semi retirement for the carmines...not gettin my hopes up tho cuz I struck out on the last 2 releases I tried to get plus I don't know **** about bots

If I come up short I need a sz 11 :nerd:
