These look like it has that nubuck material. I use a suede/nubuck cleaner I get from finishline. It works wonders and the brush that comes with it is pretty good also
 
Due to availability in your area, I understand why some people prefer to camp out. Obviously you have a better chance of obtaining the shoe if you show up early enough. I personally would never camp out for DAYS for any shoe, but I have put in a few camping hours, twice. First time was for DMP pack. I had to drive 20 min away to the next city that had 2 stores with 12 pairs each :x I did 9 hours of camping, but was able to get my pair. 2nd time was for those damn yeezy foams. Did 12hrs :smh:
Due to striking out on raffles and online, showing up early was the other option of getting a shoe without having to pay these crazy resale prices. which is sad

na i can understand camping a few hours or even a night if they're limited but to camp for 3-4 days is crazy. 

either u don't have a job and/or life or they're doing it to resell which is dumb cuz its way less than minimum wage.

if u can spend 3-4 days of ur life sitting around doing nothing for 170 shoes u have issues. they might as well go work those 3-4 days and make a good amount of money to pay for those shoes and then some.

Grins ear to ear, in short though, the one thing you will never see a-friend talking or complaining about again is,

"man I entered every raffle in my city, all 16 and no luck, took me 3+hours just for nothing, plus 50-75 in gas cause I burned a whole tank, then I woke up @6am and went on EB and clicked add to cart from 7am-10am wasting another 3+hours for nothing, then I went BACK to the malls doing unclaimed raffles, @10am one @1pm and one @6pm all in different cities and I showed up to all when the line was already to deep, so now it's 8pm at night and I have no shoes, my WHOLE day is gone, and I'm salty"

+50 thank you I will have another next grab!
I like my time though, for sure. Who cares who eats on my extra on top, I've eaten too because I saved time and day. That's worth $250 on a slow Tuesday at work for me, a Saturday though priceless man, priceless

ur logic is pretty dumb

u ever heard of trying to buy online??? don't own a computer or sumn?

there's plenty of sites and if u know enough its easy to cop a gr online esp with bots being warded off for the most part

i only grin when i get my pair for retail or less (vip rewards, fnl, etc)

I say this you want catch in a line. Never needed to early on. I had a connect, but to the boy that do. If you want the shoes real bad. Do what you got to do. For the boys standing in line to resell, you are an idiot.

i can imagine most of them are kids with nothing better to do trying to get them to resell believing they can actually make a lot of money by reselling them on the bay. It's hilarious to see a pair of shoes that had the retail of $170 + tax listed for $210 free shipping. some of these kids have no clue that the bay charges 10% and paypal takes 4%, so by the time they are done they get back less than they paid for the shoes. 
 
My approach on each release...

Shoes I really want - Enter a few raffles within a 10 miles radius of me and try online saturdays. If I struck out, wait a week or 2 to see if any size pops up on retail sites and for resell hype to die down, so I can pick it up as close to retail as possible. 90% of the time I win a raffle or get it online.

Shoes I'm on the fence on - Try online Saturday... If I struck out. I just move on to the next.

Either way... I'm against camping out... I value my time too much. For the amount of time I'm spending camping out. I rather pay resell.

I won't even be within

In this post you just quoted, I think second paragraph explains my computer sitch man. Did you read the first line of my post and respond. Sounds like it. Last shoe I tg online was 5lab silver, before that INfrared 6, Infrared 6 was my 1st buy of the year retro. Bought 11 total, 2/11 yea, loving online boss.
 
Anyone in the Daytona Beach area know if the spots around here are fcfs or do raffles? Down here on vacation and was wandering. Thank you in advance.

Ever considered taking that 50-75 bucks u said u blew on gas and instead using it to tip an emoloyee to hold u a pair or hell maybe even 2. Seems like the only logical thing to do.

well the dude gonna sell me the ticket for $30 flaked on me. Think he got a higher offer but wouldn't say
 
Entered 4 raffles in my area, if no luck with that, i'll just try my hand online. Haven't camped for a sneaker since the cool grey 11's in 2010
 
Entered two raffles and if I don't win I'll ride by city gear or Fnl since I get off work at 6am and they're doing fcfs. If lines too long then Ndc or bust.
