Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

Best release of the year

I'd say the low XI's were up there.

Ah forgot about those... Columbia and Oreo 4s were much less hyped but maybe that was because of the high MSRP + post holiday season release.

Idk I feel like there were a lot more hyped GRs in 2014.. Even the 11s this year don't have the initial hype Legend Blue 11s did last year.
 
Been loving my pair thus far. I've always liked 8's no doubt even though I find them difficult to wear with jeans. Been wearing them a lot with sweat pants (not joggers) and hoop shorts. Maybe it's just my big *** feet. :lol:

I completely failed on this years black Friday release as my wedding was this past weekend and haven't had the time to keep up with the local raffle days.  I should have known they do the raffles a week early as I doubled up on last years blk/inrd 6's last year.  Oh well.  SNKRS or bust I guess.  8's are one of my least favorites among the line due to the straps but because of the comfort I still have a few.  It wouldn't kill me to take the L on this one.  Congrats to all that won the raffles.

Was that for HoH in KOP? They did guaranteed tickets?

Or was it for Villa or Finishline?
I always stick with the HoH at King of Prussia as its the most legit (organized) and seems to always have good stock. Even when there's a decent line, I always manage to get my size. For the past few years on the Black Friday and Christmas XI release, they give out guaranteed tickets a few days before the release...then you bring your ticket and pick the sneaker up at the store on release date. I'm a fan of this process. I feel giving out the early tickets (like they did this Sunday) weeds alot of people out. If you get there by 6/6:30AM (even later in alot of cases as of recent; such as this Aqua 8) for an 8AM release or guaranteed ticket, you'll usually get  your size.

Even venture to sneaker site selling these 8's and a pair will end up in ur cart :lol:
 
Did y'all flame buddy who had no knowledge of OG 8's but wanted to sound all connoisseurish about shoes off the thread :rofl:
 
i legit love this shoe. Been wearing it heavy since they arrived last week. Hella comfy. Still crispy too, no scuffs. Wearing em to the gym tonight, just to lift weights though. Then probs again on wednesday to the heat game. Will probably scoop another pair when they release this weekend just to store.
 
Just finished up my rounds. My local ftl told me raffle was this week. I went in Monday and Tuesday last week and BOTH employees told me it was this week. [emoji]128530[/emoji][emoji]128530[/emoji][emoji]128530[/emoji]

They still win because your still contributing to there profit at the end of the day. I wouldn't be "upset" if the employees hadnt gone to ask the manager both days and still came back to the same answer. Then today the lasy said the flyer was up last sunday but i didn't see it to begin with the days.
Why lie to potential customers on one of the biggest GR of the year

Went to Stonecrest Mall on Sunday AM to lock-in myself a ticket for the Aquas. Surprisingly there may have been a total of 50 - 65 total people in line and spread across Foot Locker, Foot Action and Champs I highly doubt that all pairs are accounted for.
