It's pretty much a down day for me. No more raffles to enter. Stores around me don't call until tomorrow and Friday...

Better keep that phone close just in case they switch it up to catch people off guard

This thread is a great heads up notice on what to expect when the UNC 1s drop in Dec. Will any of you turn down a cheap initial pre order price on that release?

Only got 1 raffle ticket, decided that it's not worth it with the # of pairs and people signing up for these raffles.
I'd rather pay over retail than drive around Chicago acquiring multiple raffle tickets

I mean the hype is always there or not. Its a 1. Its what we deal with now. But the issue is the number of pairs Nike put out into the wild compared to what they did for every other release this year. I honestly believed when Dino put out there dont worry they'll be plenty, now my only hope is NDC and that they held back a lot of pairs for the online launch.

Up to the manager. Many want to get it out of the way, because they also have to worry about unclaimed pair
They aren't about that life.
And with the bots on NDC
Go line up tomorrow night, you'll be first :\

Serious question for everyone in here, in a perfect hypothetical world, if everyone just went for 1 pair, instead of 4-6 pairs. Do you guys think there would be enough to go around?

UNC's won't be as difficult.
Chicago colors, which represent OG to the average person
UNC's will probably be along black toes and shadows.

Nope, to be honest, This seems to be less then the Bred release in store allocations and that's really weird to me. Which is why I'm holding out hope the retailers, especially NDC, will have more than usual online

That was said about the Royals, Black Toes, Shadows, Breds, Melos too. If you go back to the beginning pages of this thread people said the same thing about these and look now how everyone is scrambling around and nervous.

I would think any retailer knows people are more likely to buy online than in store. Its safer for one.

People want multiples to have and bring out years from now I'm the kinda person that is real OCD about sneakers I want to wear them but don't want to beat them up if that makes sense that's why I need 2
Hence why I don't wear my fragments

I never took any business classes but I think that would be a case of supply exceeding demand. If they want to keep their jobs, the execs at Nike should be thinking 5 steps ahead to make sure that never happens.
Hypothetically if everyone got a pair, demand would drop off to zero and Nike would have to change marketing strategy, slash production numbers or abandon the JB line entirely. Of course this would all be too late at that point and Nike would have already taken a huge blow.

Hell I've even gotten calls after close before. Wasn't much after close but it was definitely past 9 pm.
