this may be a long shot but....since u know where u won and have a reserved pair, u can go to that location before saturday. tell em you won and produce your winning ticket and id as proof. they should already have the list of ticket winners sio theyll know u not BSing. then explain to them that an emergency has come up after you got the winning call and that u wont be able to make it down in time to pick up on saturday. ask them politely to transfer the ticket into a buddy or family members name so they can pick up instead. it may help to have whoever its gonna be transferred to go along with u so he/she can produce id right there and do the transfer right away if they let u.

im not saying its a guarantee. but hey, its totally worth a shot if u really want these kicks. but bring your buddy along tho. id suggest that, so u have all your ducks in a row when you ask them for that favor. it may b the difference between them saying yes or no. if the employee gotta wait for u to come back with your buddy and has to be there on shift specifically to meet u etc,  they might just say no. but if your buddy is already right there with ID in hand and all the employee has to do is take the ID right then and there and change the name...u might get blessed.

good luck and let us know how it goes. hopefully it works out for u.

This makes perfect sense why take away from the French Blue release when The Wings release is happening this weekend. Nike figured majority of people would shoot for the limited release rather then the general release French Blue that is probably why they pushed Nikes release date back. But let everyone else push for this weekend's French b
Blue release .

But they never officially cancelled the French Blue release for this weekend.............they are still releasing THIS WEEKEND along with The Wings 12

Shouldn't he ask you? Tell him you had prior engagements

" I locked my keys in the car and had to call a locksmith sorry I'm late"

lotta Ls gonna be handed out digitally this saturday lol

but seriously, i dont get why people are saying things like "oh does footlocker expect us to stop our lives and wait for/answer their call?" etc etc....but footlocker could turn right around and say "do u expect us to hold your size X for the hours and hours it could take for u to MAYBE call us back to claim it? why do that when theres more than 100+ people on the list that also want that size X that will answer their phone?"

those stores have a business to run. they aint your buddy buddy lol. theyre not gonna deal with the logistical nightmare.

That is understandable. Unfortunately people have lives and jobs to pay for these shoes. I know I personally am not gonna waste the time going around getting raffle tickets if I'm not gonna get the shoe. Not to mention they will have no problem selling them if the winners do not show up. I'm sure there will be a line in the stores for just that. Also as far as policy on the back of TFL tickets it says if u do not answer and they cannot leave a voicemail u forfeit. I missed work and spent half a day running around out of town getting tickets. God damn right I expect to get a message and a chance to call back of I win.

Well when you go to the store to explain your situation, bring cash, offer to pay up front, and see if they can rip the tag and wait till Saturday to ring it up.

Would used to be able to get Jays locally before release days this way.... before the hype of course. 
 
I'm in with 6 raffles. I purposefully left 2 more possible entrees on the table, as I'm wanting FNL or FL to call, seeing as I have discounts for both of them.

Idk I will try to see man i guess imma have to bribe them I work in a shop for car electronics so imma have to bribe them but will do man
 
Most likely some places will wait until Friday to make calls . When I went around all people told me was they were expecting late shipments . I heard that from a number of stores .
 
Most notably lots of FNL have not received their shipment yet, although the release is saturday
 
Just need one of these Champs entries to hit then the whole fam (me, the wife, and baby boy) will all have our pairs set. Plus, I got 2 VIP rewards.
 
Hoping my plug comes through, I can't be mad if she can't she's rigged me raffle tickets on like the last 5 pairs I've bought.
