Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

View media item 1797878
Anyone in Norfolk, VA or 757 area. Guaranteed tickets for these and Foamposites at the MacArthur Center Footlocker/HOH. Super easy cop, only about 20-30 people in line for both shoes combined. That line is down to zero. Looks to not be as much hype for these as I had expected. Hope to score this easily with Black/Chromes
 
When someone asks "what's the resale value on these?" Then, they try to say it's because they're planning on buying later, or in case they miss out on release day and need to pay resale.

You're not fooling anyone in here.  Just be straight up and say "I want to buy to resell.  How much profit can I make?"
 
There were literally only 9 people waiting at King of Prussia mall this morning for guaranteed tickets at 8AM. Crazy compared to the line last year. I think there's just too much dropping over the next month between Js and the Yeezys that it filtered a lot of people out- mixed with the overall less demand for an 8 versus the infrared 6s last year (and that was a Monday morning vs. Sunday this year). I can't recall a line ever that short at KOP though. Bordeaux line even crushed that....

I'm thinking a lot people expecting Fcfs on Black Friday where I was. 50 people at Hoh and 10 at. Champs . It eating season or late chaos on Friday but everyone who wants, should be able to get
 
I just went ahead and pre-ordered mine last Thursday...I learned from the Bordeaux 7s release that here in Memphis you won't win on any raffle unless you are connected inside the stores with the employees because so many resellers are allowed to pay under the table for releases here because they're buddy buddy with store managers (I've seen this 1st hand) or the chicks working in these stores like the attention they get from certain guys so they pretty much guarantee those dudes their shoes everytime smh so it's almost impossible you'll get a call back in those situations! I've never been successful online either (shrugs shoulders) pre-order was $238 with shipping I couldn't afford to strike out on my all time favorite sneaker so f*** it! Good luck everybody on Black Friday I'ma be sleeping in! LETS EAT!!!

Just got hooked up with a ticket early from a store that's doing guaranteed tickets tomorrow. I wish the 11s could be that easy.

Honestly I think Friday should be pretty smooth online. I would see if my local HOH has any more tixs left over but I'm to lazy to drive up there [emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji]

Good
 
I'm loving what I'm hearing. JB just keep releasing everything you got in all forms og or close retro what ever then I say by 2020 it will be all over they want have nothing else to release and you can get any past release for retail because it will be like 3 or 4 versions of every shoe.
 
Honestly resell sucks now and the hype has moved over to the yeezys db's and anything else limited. since they release one a month it seems (Yeezy). Heck people brought them awful boots and can't turn a profit off the beasting alone.

Pre-orders are really what's keeping resellers alive. Post release jordan brand has been flooding the market with so many pairs that resell has little to no profit at all.

Also, some and most of us are experienced enough to make offers to resellers and or just walk away since so many people selling and they are a super GR no reseller can command a price.

So now when a shoe drops a lot of people are magically not intrested anymore. They have no hype value so they can beast off em and or they cannot be flipped. I'm sure many resellers have taken so many L's this year they are staying far away from these.

Good to know things are getting better I hope to hear many successful stories pre and post launch so we can have positive vibes in here.

Side note local spot near doing guarantee tixs for 3 days I'm like damn how many pairs y'all got [emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji]

Anything jordan 1 will still be worth a grip if not more. Oh and anything with a NA on it
 
anyone in SoCal know when FNL is doing their tickets, or did they already do it last week like FTL/FTA?

People have been saying it's over for JB for years, even the years when they slapped a Jumpman on everything. JB keeps chugging along unfazed and still making bank.
 
Just remembered these were coming out this week, haven't grabbed much of anything all year.

Several stores in mall gave out guaranteed tickets today so just have to pick up on RD.

Appears as if these were made in abundance.
 
If you miss out online, just go to your local stores. These will be easy to get. Even though I won four raffles, I picked up a guaranteed ticket this morning, because Finishline is closer and I can use a $20 reward, as opposed to Footlocker which doesn't let me use them on day of releases. Which I end up just stacking up to use on socks or shorts, because most of the sneakers I get from HOH are day of releases. :smh:

I showed up this morning before I went to the gym an hour after they started giving out tickets and they had a bunch of tickets left.

I hope it's going to be this easy for the chromes/72-10's

This is what makes me so mad. I have the same problem. They never let me use my rewards on day of releases. That's what I always buy. Jerks.

FNL finished their raffle this past Wednesday. Don't worry though, there's plenty of pairs to go around. I entered 5 raffles myself and it seems like not too many people want these since DB's and yeezys came out. If all else fails and if you're in the LA area, all 3 Nike Stores are doing FCFS.
