I hate corruption.  In any way, shape, or form.  I was born and raised in Southern Cali, but I spent a good amount of time in the Philippines, where corruption runs deep in their politics, police, businesses...

One thing i noticed though is that the sneaker community in the Philippines is a really tight knit group.  Helping each other out with releases, civil and organized camp-outs (they still do the 'write your name on a list, and then come back in order at release time), no fights, no dogging on people wearing fakes... oh and raffles, when done, are held and performed IN PERSON.  They help each other out because we all share the same passion about sneakers, and that is something I miss from the golden age of sneakers: helping out others.

This is one of many reasons why I do what I do. If you've seen me in previous release threads, then you know what i'm referring to.  

However, I've been receiving some DM hate on posting things on public forum.  That lurkers, or inactive members, will benefit with the information found on here.  Well, I can guarantee you that NT is not the only place on the INTERNET where such information can be found.  If lurkers want to use our information, then good for them because they will have a shot in winning a pair of sneakers for themselves. If people from out of state enter and win, good for them too because the people who take the time and wait for unclaimed pairs will have a chance to buy at 1pm.

The whole point is to HELP OTHERS.  If my actions in trying to help others is making it harder for someone else, then I apologize in advance because that is not my intention. The people who are hating on those who are trying to help others should flip their role and try contributing and lending out a helping hand once in a while.  Shoe karma is a strong force.

I'm sorry for the long post.  I'm heading out for church now to give thanks for my blessings.

Be back later with the list.

RANT OVER.

All of this. Although some resellers here overprice their ****. Still, it's still a fun place.

Anyway, I'm hoping that a nearby Nike store will receive their stock this week. I'll also join some raffles and fcfs reservations just to be sure.

Checked in with NT after my run yesterday and I was told it was FCFS....I don't know what the new retail space in Brooklyn (opens 5/28) is doing yet or what RF is doing.

they might change it to a raffle. Fcfs for these if they don't get that many pairs will be a problem.

How did they handle the 11 lows last week?  

FCFS would probably mean that they have a HUGE stock and would be too time consuming to do a raffle (allocating/calling winners...)
 
For my Chicago fam. Easy to find info, just thought I'd condense it. Raffle spots for tomorrow and Tuesday. Still have no info from Finishline. Need to hit the local spots as well.

So I just got back from my local Villa in Allentown, PA.  Waited for 10 hours at the store to be first in line for when they opened up at 11AM. Only to be told that they only got select sizes.  I go up to the clerk and tell him I want a ticket for a 10.5.  His response, "We don't have a 10.5."  I'm like what do you mean you don't have a 10.5"  He said we only got select sizes.  I say how about a size 10.  He says nope. Didn't get that size either.  Walked out with nothing.  Better believe I'll be in contact with corporate about crooked Villa.  Some messed up  S***!!!

you can call and ***** and moan all you want, end of the day, it's a known draft that villas don't always get size runs. You should have been smart and like someone said, grab whatever size and try to trade or sell and cop yours on the resell market -.-

not sure how the 11 lows were handled .... the last NT pickup I did was for the 4LAB11s which was FCFS. I eyeballed about 50+ pairs left (I was among the first 20 in line), the rubber city 12s about 30+ pairs, barcelona days 7s about 60+ pairs left.
 
Yea you should have taken something, that was not a good idea by you. Basically 10 hours down the drain.

Good looking out on the info.  

But those releases you listed don't have the same demand as an OG NA1.  Just wait for official word from them via twitter.
