I went to my local malls last night and put in my raffles hoping to get my 1 pair. Some clown in the front of the line was like "I already got 2 pairs on lock fa show, just need to get more" People like this are the reason releases are so crazy. Really I can only see ever needing 2 pairs max. One to rock, one to stock. And that's ONLY if you really love the shoes. Then he goes on to talk about how "EVERYONE is coming out for this release, I bought 12 pairs already this year". That doesn't make you special because you have no family and a bunch of disposable income. I have over 30 pairs of fresh J's in the closet and haven't bought a pair this year since the OG Red/White 1's released. Personally I only buy pairs in original colorways that Jordan actually wore. That's probably because I actually watched Jordan play in them and remember going to the mall and not being able to get shoes that were that expensive. So for me these 11's will finish off my collection of 11's. I have the cool Greys, Concords, Breds, Space Jams, now I need these. I've been waiting for these since they were supposed to drop 3 years ago and got changed for the concords, then the black/Reds, then those ugly *** gammas. I'm just hoping to get my 1 pair and I hope everyone that REALLY wants them for themselves gets a pair as well. All these new releases with weird colorways just look like knock off shoes I used to see at the Chinese stores, again my own personal opinion but that's how I see it. Good luck to all.. sorry for the rant

you, me, and mostly everyone with a brain or a job know that this release as well as many others caters to a certain kind of clientele... just nobody wants to come out and say it.
i was waiting on one line and on the line some woman was fuming, saying she had to give her kid $50 for something for school. yet shes trying to buy $200 sneakers.

Can't knock anybody hustle. But this is the real enemy. They are the ones who lie to loyal customers. They are the ones rigging raffles. They are the ones holding pairs for family. View media item 1307219

The new Champs at Valley Fair Mall was using a new raffle system... They keep the ticket tab that you dont fill out then write down your name, phone, license #, and ticket number on a piece of paper.

A mix of spoiled kids, SSI check burning folks (all races), "I watched Jordan play" types, those who like sneakers, and of course, resellers.

you know what I meant. They aint touching nobody feet for these Jordan releases because they wont let you try them on!!!! Dealing with people is part of the job regardless if they are crazy or not. but rigging raffles and taking money under the table to hold pairs is the problem. If that wasn't happening I'm sure there would be more pairs available. I seen employees FOLD raffle tickets while some tickets didn't get folded. Go figure!

They chose to be the enemy IMO.
I'm 34. from the age of 18-26, I had anything I wanted at employee discount off friendships alone. Hell, shoes sat back then so you can cop off EA for 50%.
Now, you got dudes who are "besties" or "connects" getting over on folks based on HYPE.
Social media ruined the world.

I worked at Champs in sharps town while in college in Houston back in 03 04 and it was different then . The hype wasn't there. The managers wasn't playing that then so no it wasn't worth losing my job for no family or friend. But now the managers are the ones who are setting it up. It's ok tho cuz corporate goin catch up one day. Its all in a matter of time.
