[quise2024]

who in Atlanta is looking to cop?

I'm about 3 hrs away, but i'm gonna do the online thing. Nothing in the #229.

dang bruh where in 229 you at? And you relocating to Australia

Shanghai , where I'm based out of now just released over the weekend. Luckily they did lotto system so scalpers would have to get lucky as well. 

Just dropped my name off in my desired size; checked back the release date and BAM got lucky

I was 581.. think i was like the last number chosen haha 

size 8.5 were the smallest?

 

[joseph8764]

and yes they are getting these but they are going to only have one full size run

Where are you copping ?

 

[blackmondays]

Welp, size 12, 13 already sold out down my way at FTL and possibly a 9.5. Partna already told me FTL done backdoor the big foot sizes already and he got the 9.5. So the shenanigans already started down my way.

the allocation is mostly 1 pair per size

exceptions being size 9 normally 2-3 size 9's

and 2 size 10's and sometimes 2 size 10.5


so if your local store you feel are "shady"

literally either dont bother for the common sizing and sign up for a smaller size(8 or 8.5)

or dont waste your time

the 10% of stock holds are void in this limited of a release to employees


HOWEVER


management CAN pull pairs for themselves

and of course management can just hold back pairs if they so choose to


some of the stores i speak to on the regular ill tell you right now

WILL NOT HAVE SELECT SIZES AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

they will not tell customers this

so you will be signing up for a size 13 for example and its literally not even available as its a management hold


policy is you can not tell a customer the shoe is already spoken for


only can tell a customer if a size is not available for raffle sign up if that size didnt come in at all


so stores will literally have say 100 + people sign up for that size 13 and its not even available so no one can win


this happened with the what the lebron in a size 8

the allocation for that size was very small

so once it hit stores if an employee was a 8 then done deal not available to public




this is going to happen on this release as well

Cool makes sense. The new FTL manager has been getting some heat because she done stop the OGs from getting pairs held for them. I see what you saying though, I seen this coming a mile away as usual especially with the low allocation.

size 8.5 were the smallest?

Yea... none others... was weird 

 

[richhomieflan]

Like when has it become a prerequisite to know about a manga in order to have a right to cop a pair of shoes?

Believe it or not, everybody on NT wasn't some 16 year old acne faced virgin who stayed indoors reading comics growing up. Forgive me

you tryna throw shots my man?

believe me, i ain't 16, acne faced, or a virgin. 

 

[ronaldcinho]

this is definitely lookin like a stranger release

 

[priceboy00]

who in Atlanta is looking to cop?

Yeap and I can't do any raffles back home and online is a low chance. Ill just have to get really lucky

 

[maladeen]

i just hate the anticipation, im hoping to cop a pair like everyone else, also willing to pay the price to get the shoe if i strike out, just wish the time was here so i would know already. 

 

[joseph8764]

im just waiting on the official release availability lol

 

[ijackpot]

This ish is starting to get depressing...

 

[illmatic]

I'm anticipating availability to be similar to Cigar/Champagne Pack, which isn't too bad

They mostly have stuff chillin.

Not many RD kicks

For RD kicks, you have to actually be at the store.

Send them an email, I may be wrong though.

 

[a-friend]

Man, the fakes are everywhere.
Damn!
