Jordan Retro 6 "Maroon" - Dec. 5, 2015 ($220)

I seriously can't believe they labeled these QS. That term is watered down, just like the market as a whole. Shame on Nike.

Again, even depends where you are in the States. A dude a page back in Colorado only had three shops getting them and missed out on his raffle. I'd bet many cities/states got low allocations as well. They do this so you big city folk can eat.

I hear what you are saying, but you have to spot basing thing on your small town experience. Yeah, he lives in Colorado and you live in Alberta, but I bet you it isn't Denver or even Colorado Springs. In your case, I am pretty sure Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and other mid to larger cities have pretty healthy allocations. Small towns will always get screwed, it's just the way things go. I used to be Stationed (Military) in a small town, and we would get not love, so i feel your pain. With that being said, you guys need to stop basing your lack of allocation on determining if a shoe is limited or not. you guys are misrepresenting that.

Don't forget to read my 15 posts in this thread saying that I live in a small city and these are flooding the place. Some places around here didn't get the Aqua 8's (I'm 100% serious) and they are getting 4 FSRs of these. Not sure why some small spots got a ton and some others didn't but looking at the Footlocker map these are very plentiful and even if you don't have them in your town you will for sure be able to get them online. 
 
Man, the morning can't come soon enough. Might even throw these on ASAP!!!

 I'll say one thing. No matter HOW GR the WC 4's are they will be hard to get (IMO) I think they will sell like hot cakes.

I am not too sure about that. They said the same thing about the black/Infrared 6s and Legend Blue 11s, and we all know how those turned out. If the Allocations of the 72-10 AJ11s is an indication of things to come, they will flood the market with these (which will be a good thing). NA or no NA, you drop 500k+ pairs in the U.S.; people are are going to be able to get their pair(s).

A little off topic.

With the White/cement 4s, the early market will initially be harsh. You'll always have people who will jump on anything below $400, but once the shoe releases and people see how many pairs are actually available, the market will correct itself. This seems to be the new JB, and I am loving it!

I hope 1,000,000 pairs of WC 4's are released (I know they wont make that many) I want 0 trouble getting this shoe lol.

LOL, I hear you. I don't normally go that route, but I will need at least three pairs! I passed on the first paper thin versions that release a few years back.
 
I'm really confused by Nike's move here. I just read into the details and this 8am raffle is going until 10am. If they don't send notifications until later in the day that is really f'd up. I thought it would be an hour and everyone would know by 10 if they got em, but now I'm not so sure.

You would have lost that bet , fam

Haha you're not far off though , tbh..

Someone used the term " limited GR" or something like that a while back . I tend to think it is more along the lines of there won't be a limited amount like the NA 1s but won't be in abundance like the Aquas . So widely available but in small amounts

I live in Co Springs with a population just over 500k. 1 FL, 2 FTL, 1 champs all got these and all said there was a limited amount . None of these stores have received any of the NA 1s going back to 2013 . Not even lasers , lows, nothing. All stores told me that their amount was limited so maybe 1 FSR.

15 or so FTL stores in the Dallas area are getting them. Not including Champs, FA and FNL. These are everywhere.

They probably have them at ****'s too.

Partially. I still stand by my original statement that you can't judge the availability of a shoe based on small(er) towns and/or cities. I live in SoCal (I know, big city) and you have most FTL around here that have received ridiculous allocations. I am not even taking in to account: Sheikhs, Finishline, and Champs. We won't even talk about the East Coast. A lot of spots out there are doing FCFS. These are everywhere!

Weren't the aqua 8s raffle too?
Click to expand...

They started off as raffles, but most spot just turned it into a FCFS. Most of the spots near me had them as raffles, but even after the raffles were called, they had so many pairs left over that they didn't even need to go by the raffle tickets.
 
So the NDC raffle is from 8-10 est. any idea when winners will be notified/charged? I may make the move for unclaimed pairs so I am hoping to know sooner rather than later. Do most people's places let unclaimed pairs go later in the day or what? My FNL is at 10am but all the other spots are 6pm?!?! :nerd:

This was discussed earlier today in the thread.  For the 11 Low experiment on Tuesday there was a screen shot of a "Got 'em" confirmation within 45 min of entering the drawing.  In not so many words I was pretty much told not to panic because that would be a bad move on Nike's part to not notify with "Got 'em" before 10 EST when they all go live.  I was definitely Dame Dash earlier.

Anyone that want these will get them if they put forth the effort. Nike just want to sell out of their stock and the only way to guarantee that is by doing raffles in which you must submit your payment info at the same time.
