So, I went by one of the FTL's to check in and they said they were doing a raffle.

I was like...wtf? The app says they're doing the reservation through it. I just shook my head and got a raffle ticket.

It makes me wonder if other stores are doing raffles despite the app saying something different.

This means some pairs they have gotten in have been "spoken for" already. The left over pairs are being raffled.

Because if they did do an app reservation, they cannot discount pairs from their inventory. Get what I mean?

In any case, a lot of Footlocker managers going to be exposed. FTL really did pull an okiedoke on the entire company. We'll see what happens.

Not to be that guy but to be that guy. I have 6 mins headstart with footlocker, so does that mean if I win the drawing that I have 6 min grace period to get to store ? serious question

No. The HS gives you a better chance at winning the raffle. To put it simply, someone with 10 mins has a better chance to win than someone with 9 minutes than someone with 6 minutes.

How about seven? Lol

Anything is possible but I highly doubt it
I did win top 3 when it was only max 6 min HS
And I only had a 5 min HS
But the FTA I enter is a flight23 so I assume they get more pairs compared to your average FTA

I don't know what they're doing. I changed the store on the reservation app to a different once since they're doing a raffle.

I'm surprised that corporate 's word isn't the final say so. As in you can't raffle stock if your store is listed as app reservation..

Not unless the clock strikes 0 and magically there are no pairs avail for the app.... 10 on down, maybe next time. :rolleyes

If that is what really happened (and it makes sense), then these guys are just scrambling to keep corporate from finding out. Do a raffle of some type and maybe they won't get caught. I'll tell you what though. If I show up at Willowbrook on Saturday and my pair is not there, corporate is getting a letter.

miguelito · Mar 28, 2017

Put in for the full headstart at Champs and FTL. If i win both i hope i will double down for sure, but one will do.

I'm not really sure. I assume corporate has some knowledge of inventory count for each and every store. If not corporate, at least on a district level there's some sort of accountancy.

If these managers really are setting up a raffle instead of doing an App reserve, then they are def scrambling to cover-up pairs already leaving the store or being "held".

In anycase, people will get exposed. Especially if customers aren't reeving pairs they won via app. Word will spread.

You'd think this is SOP. I really hope shady managers get ousted after this release.

Do it! The more exposure FTL corporate has of the shadiness going on, the better it'll be for us as consumers. We're their bottom line!

Manager at FTL said all the young workers are going crazy for the Royals. Asked him how many they got and he told me he wasn't aloud to say

Unsure if this is a spelling mistake or an extremely clever pun....

TylerDurdenLives · Mar 28, 2017

I hit my local mall and only put in 3 raffles. Confident I'll hit on at least one.

Now that would have a lot of folks irate, thinking they have one waiting just to catch an L. This will def be a good release to pickup early so you can raise Cain til they bring a pair out. We may be seeing a bunch of open positions for management at FTL after this wknd. :lol:

People may not get fired over this, because it takes quite a bit of time to find replacements, especially on a managerial level. But it's safe to assume they'll be having a watchful eye over their stores moving forward. Which is still a win for us consumers.

I'm all for employees getting perks and such, but it's crossing the line when you backdoor 90% of your inventory to a reseller or your friends/family.

This type of nonsense has been happening since the DMP's came out :smh:

blackmondays · Mar 28, 2017

PX even acting crazy for these. No sign up or nothing. Had to get the lady up front and say raffle start an 10 and end at 8 tonight. Yesterday they told me they wasn't getting any

Ive seen people enter only 1 raffle and still hit.
I remember for the banneds, i went to like 6 stores with my brother and my cousins. Pretty much 5 tickets per store for the same size. couldnt win 1 pair.

dragonfly jones · Mar 28, 2017

Three local stores getting them FTA app reservation, Shoe Palace instore raffle, and Shiek FCFS.. Hopefully I lock one down so it doesn't come to SNKRS or me having to line up Saturday morning

thanks for this, any other LA codes for Shiekh?

Usually post when i visit the spot. Always go to the fox hills, most convenient for me to get that one minute head start at FTA and FTL and the code for shiekh!
