Air Jordan 11 Space Jam-December 10, 2016-$220

Reading all the comments. Some saying anything below a 5 min head start is an L. Others saying stores have 800 pairs. Guess we'll see. 
 
Okay, so here's the scoop.

I haven't bought sneakers in quite some time and have recently gotten back into the culture. Refused to purchased sneakers obscenely priced while being released in poor quality.

But I've had my share of sneakers releases in the past and can say that I've "seen it all". I've lived through the 2001 Cool Grey release. From everything that I've heard regarding this release, there should be no sense of urgency trying to secure a pair. When NTNY, 34th Footlocker/Footaction and Champs Times Square doing FCFS you know these are READILY available.

Watch a bunch of people get confirmation for several places.

Just enter a raffle for a store that normally gets a high volume of inventory, enter the app reservation system for all 3 sneaker apps and wait till you get a call. Simply as that.

I have to believe 3/4th of you guys are kids. Because no way are grown men behaving this irrationally :lol:

I was in Jimmy Jazz asking for a raffle ticket (they of course didn't have a size 14 or 15) and one of the Footlocker employees was in there and told me that they didn't get a size 15 which upset me because their employee gave me a raffle ticket for a size 15 the day before and didn't tell me they weren't getting a pair. Really frustrating from a customer perspective

Also, got a guaranteed ticket for a 14 at the Finishline in Northlake Mall.

Honestly, let's say you guys don't get a pair. Is it the end of the world? No, because if you do get a pair, it'll probably only last you 10 years until they start falling apart. And chances are, you'll sell them off before they even stay in your possession.

How do I know all this? Because I've lived through it myself. 80% of all my sneakers from the early 2000's are falling apart or on their way out. It very painful to experience this, because I was hoping to pass my massive collection down to my children someday, but it's just not possible most of the time.

Ease up, people. Ease up :lol:
 
Bottom line: It's not worth expending all this time and energy on something as frivolous as sneakers that won't last forever and has a volatile intrinsic value.

We need to really evaluate our perspectives.

Footlocker app won't just send me the verification code and it's frustrating the hell outta me. Even after I contacted Footlocker a few days ago and they verified my account, it happened again.

As long as your entry still shows in your Countdowns, I think you're good. Just enter your number and keep it moving. My apps kept doing that during the Black Toe and BF Yeezy releases. Still got Ws.
