Official OVO x JB Thread

Then I get the Nike trolling email this morning "you left something in yoir cart." I go open the email and itbsays the Ovo 10's were still in my cart. Of course when I open the email, they are not in my cart. Hell, I never got the message they carted, just the out of stock message

Yeah, hate that email. Like putting salt in the wound. Lol. Were you trying to purchase on desktop or SNKRS btw?

Yeah, no way around raffles really. You can just enter and hope that the stores don't do any shady business. NYC is where it's at in terms of raffles and releases in general, a ton of tier 0 stores so you at least have multiple options aside from the online drawing being done by Nikelab.

Aren't a ton of TZ0 but rather because of the population 8M in the city (19M in the metro area) NYC typically higher allocations. I suspect la-la land has as many TZ0 options as NYC
 
Where are y'all getting the idea that SNKRS has been hacked? And what would hacking SNKRS entail?

Read it in another thread, don't exactly know what they did but it seems like they exploited the SNKRS app like a backdoor link. I think they were using desktops but making it appear that they were ordering thru the app and maybe they got to purchase faster or earlier than the release on NDC. It must have been serious given that NDC didn't really release anything worthwhile on SNKRS until recently again.

That's a bummer. Hope you bought the size 14's and then just wait for an exchange if ever they find a size 10, which IMO is pretty bleak. You could just try to trade them or you can try consignment stores which allow size swaps although you may have to pay $20-$50.

Hasn't happened to me personally but with the SBB drop NTNY mucked up and had more folks than size allocation. Similarly they were offered an off-size equivalent....doubt you getting a restock that quick,

Yeah, maybe it has something to do with the population or maybe just a ton of NTers from NY. Regardless, NYC seems like a great place to be if you are a sneakerhead, among other things.

You messed up. I would have taken the 14 in a heart beat. Now you may not get anything. The DM isn't going to pull a pair out of thin air.
And do what with a size 14? Hoard them?? Im not into goin on Craigslist or ebay and listing sneakers so there's no point in me getting a pair that's nowhere near my size.. I'd be trading sizes down for the next year trying to get a 10. I'm good.. If I don't get em oh well, i believe the point of my post was to shed light on the shady business that goes on for sneakers.. Smh what happened was my sister is a tiny girl and they took advantage smh
 
Funny thing is when RO's dropped people said that nike would cancel orders or restock etc... Same thing here.
 
NDC shipping confirmation... The wait is on

You missed the beauty of NT then. The connections here are amazing. Somewhere, some guy didn't get his size 14 so he got what he could in hopes of trading for his size. That shoe he grabbed is a size 10. You could've listed them on NT and let the rest fall into place.

When Royal 1's came out, local store got 1 full size run. I got the last shoe in the store which was a size 9; I wear a size 12. I came on here and told NT of my situation. I get a DM from some NTer who read in the official Royal post of another NTer who got a sz.12 and needed a 9. The NTer plugged us together and voila, got my size 12 Royal's.

Come to think of it, same thing just happened for Chicago's as well.

Have faith in NT. With a shoe this rare and valuable, you get whatever you can bro.

Don't think keeping one pair of limited shoes can be considered hoarding. It doesn't take up that much space and all the effort that you are gonna need to do is to post in NT or some groups from your phone or computer and if you get a pair to meet up with the other guy. Worst case you send it to Flight Club and try to buy an OVO in your size. No disrespect but seems like you didn't really want the shoes that badly to begin with because if it were me, I'd do everything that I can to use that size 14 to get my pair.

I mean I definately wasn't losing sleep over it.. So yea I probably didn't want them THAT bad.. But I did want them and won them fair and square.. If it weren't for shady people at F23 in NYC None of this would be necessary
 
It was said the OVO's got pushed back......then this happens
There was a confusion with the apparel which will be released on Oct 3 but then the stores returned the date a few days before Saturday. There was someone saying that FTL/HOH will be getting them on Oct 3 too but no solid info aside from rumors and speculations.

Yeah, nobody can do anything about the shady business for releases like these which is why it's always smart to pick up your pair as early as possible since the employees can't pull off the "we don't have anything in your size left" crap when the store has just opened.
