[Weirdo]

Care to share? lol

Been trying to crack the code since the lobs no luck still

 

[dLebowski]

You have to crack the SPoT inventory number. I have been able to predict the last few. It’s not rocket science though, and the bots get them fast. It’s gives you a fighting chance though.

shipped like this from seasons and the box wasn’t really beat up at all... crazy

I’m surprised. Never had that happen with any of my orders from them

 

[dLebowski]

Posted up to enter the in-store Jordan draw at my local (Vu). Gary said he has more than a FSR for the Paris:NY, but is only getting 8 pair of LA:Chi. So the (perhaps obvious) news there is that skateshops are for sure getting the LA:Chi, even the smaller ones.

Also, if you’re near Bmore, the signup sheet only had like 10-15 entries so far. I kinda wanted to keep that to myself, but hopefully karma takes care of me.

We are in a different but tough time.

Spoiler: Pointless Thoughts

Nike basically forced so much unwanted product on skate shops that half of them closed.

Now they are trying to “support them” again.

Problem is, many are left without a local. And with shops like Premier going to locals only, it short changes some long term fans and alienates much of the population.

Then you have those that have locals but also have jobs and families. Thus, camping out overnight on a Thursday for a release like AJSB is near impossible without taking time off.

It’s awesome shops want to serve their local communities, but with no online options, how is the brand supposed to expand? Additionally, we already know some shops don’t want the hassle and either backdoor pairs, or unload on ebay or StockX to help fund the rest of their business and avoid resellers who only show up for these releases and never buy shop shirts or even nikeSB t shirts in store.

This doesn’t count those that “raffle” pairs. I see the same dudes hitting raffles on IG all day. It’s good PR, but...

I have no point here I’m realizing lol. It’s just a weird time. [\SPOILER]

Yeah I brought up similar thoughts about nike pushing the orange label agenda after years of running them out of business. Skate shops and sneakerheads have always had a tough dynamic. I don't think it'll ever be possible to satisfy all parties.

At least it won't be an 8AM EST twitter link only release like lance mountains at least I think it was TLO, all I can remember is the 8AM EST when I was on vacation in California so 5AM PST.

I did get to hold the Paris:LA’s. Materials are very on par with the Mountain’s, maybe not quite as soft, but very very nice. Hoping that they won’t be too hard to get, especially if footsites get them later in the month. Hoping to double at retail.

So if you’re on the fence, the quality is there.

It’s really lame that online goto’s like Premier are supporting “locals only”. When we know that 90% of the locals winning are resellers. Meanwhile, people like me that supported the Premier’s and Black Sheep’s, and also even bigger sites like SkateWarehouse - we are left out in the cold. I’m lucky we at least have Vu in Baltimore, but they usually get one FSR - if even - that we all have to fight for.

Kudos to SPoT though, they are one of the few to drop online stock.

 

[jay are]

Anymore cords for retail, I’m looking for a sz 11?

 

[carolinakickg]

Are those black joints with the pink swoosh we saw month or two back dropping soon?

 

[BabyKiller138]

Where dem’ porcelains at?

 

[juztinboi]

Dope seeing most of us eat on these cords. I actually decided to sit them out. It seems like the paint on these new jordan releases is easy as hell to rub off , almost too easy. Some dude uploaded a video of him rubbing off the paint and it looked really simple.

 

[cucumbercool]

no the alternates are green. I'm torn with what laces to go with, but mismatch will not be an option lol.

green is so much better

 

[9th Wonder]

Who are the guys that have inside info on future skateshop orders? 9th Wonder ? Is that it for Orange Labels or are they doing more CWs in the line?

You rang???

I may have already given info on another Orange Label in here..

Shall I give info on another late 2019 release?

[krayzsb]

I also don’t see much hype on them I prefer the white grey the pink i am not feeling at all

 

[pimorules]

I hope I didn't fully miss out on the Cords...

 

[stiunit]
