[dubchester]

You guys requesting PMs are going to get banned since there's already an existing thread created specifically for this reason:

http://niketalk.com/topic...oncord-PM-HELP-list-READ

Just trying to remind everyone so you don't get banned. Some of you are pushing the envelope.

But I kinda resent him for doing that. 


*shrugs*

Does that make me a bad guy?

Btw... stickabush.com has them for 180 euros (comes to about 23. Presale.

So y'all complain when people don't put up links, and complain when they do??? Why are you even posting??? If he has his pairs on lock thats good for him but I bet
if he was bragging about having them and not post the link you would be butt hurt.

And if you clicked on the link you can clearly see that the site has a count down to when they release them online so either way he is looking out. Get lost and find another forum to post BS in thanks.

People need to understand that no one is getting left out. These websites aren't hidden, secret, password protected or some crap like that.
Everyone has access to them.

You guys need to stop complaining and stop asking other people to spoon feed you the information.

Do your own research like the majority have done and find the sites on your own.

Make calls, send emails, do whatever.. but don't come crying when you miss a release because all you're doing is just sitting here on the forums waiting for someone else to do the work for you.

You can start by using Google.

Or a matter of fact, go back to the old NT Concord release thread. Someone posted a small list of sites that have still yet to release the Concords.

THIS!!  QFT!!!  Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[yankee1]

lol at people acting like they are the only ones that know about a site. This release is full of hype and I'm sure the site you though was low key has been spread throughout other forums, word of mouth, etc... If 500 people already know and the site only has 70 pairs, then people are already at bad odds. I'm here to help and get help, because that is what i thought nt was all about.

do you have to email them?  or do you just checkout through their website?  because I don't' see a size option when I go to the product page. 

 

[balloonoboy]

Wouldn't be surprised if these reached $500 before RD and sold out.

 

[shoeking2345]

Not sure what you're getting at, but is this a good or bad thing?  i.e. lighter than previous editions, or cheaper quality.

I personally havent complained about not putting the links up.. Im all for helping out but  I believe that everyone should do their share of work, not make it easy for some noob or someone who never posts that just came on and scooped up a pair from a link. I just think he wouldnt be doing that if he himself didnt have a pair already secured. I dont care what anyone says, you want to have the best chances possible so you want your connect to be as low as possible. Its what ever though.. I hope we all get atleast one pair.. good luck to all.

One of the ways to avoid this is by having your items delivered by USPS, or in my case Canada Post.

Customs department generally won't waste their time with these small packages that in reality are worth peanuts in comparison to the stuff they do worry about.

The thing that really ticks me off though is the fact that you can the brokerage fee in the mail as a bill 2 months after you received the item. If you don't pay them right away, they send it to a collection agency.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR INTERNATIONAL ITEMS SHIPPED VIA UPS, FEDEX OR ANY OTHER COMPANY OTHER THAN USPS (OR YOUR NATIONAL MAIL CARRIER IN THE COUNTRY YOU RESIDE IN, i.e. ROYAL MAIL in the UK & CANADA POST IN CANADA) YOU WILL LIKELY END UP PAYING A BROKERAGE FEE!

Custom fees are rare on small items but they do happen. It's brokerage fees that are a real B$#@

Hope that answers some your questions regarding shipping

and how do they go about deciding how much a fee will cost. i ordered a few pairs of black cements from overseas, and had no issues

i called n asked the same question and the person i spoke to at UPS couldnt answer.  

its a cash grab on their part.......fight it and a lot of times they throw it away.......at least thats how it has worked for me

I dont think it matters unless you're hooping in them. For casual walking, the XIs dont crease for YEARS (except slightly on the sides).

[shoeking2345]

yea i kno i have the bred from 01, sj, cool gray's and now these...its just funny that they made the patent leather weaker smh, well speaking for my pair that is

 

[mikey23]

 

[T0INE]

Man I wished I had checked this thread a few hours earlier.

I definitely would've pulled the trigger on SFSC if they were letting the Concords go for $250.

They had my size 14 too.

Oh well.

 

[KanyIZZY]

SITTING IN CLASS... SIGNED UP FOR THE EMAIL FROM SFSC... CLASS ENDS AND THEYRE SOLD OUT.. +*%.. THIS IS GETTIN FRUSTRATING ---__----

Well written. I also hate when people assume that you're new to stuff because you don't lurk or post everyday. I've been on NT almost a decade. When I was heavy into kicks some of y'all were just learning to walk. I'm not doin the whipper snapper thing, but I'm just saying don't make assumptions. You never know someone's situation for why they may not have the info or knowledge you have. Consider yourself blessed, be thankful, and if you see fit pay it forward.With that being said-I think there's plenty of these to go around.

 

[dro3000]

It's unbelievable how salty some of you are.

if you are seriously surprised by the events of the last few days........you're new to buying sneakers

this is THE most sought after sneaker EVER MADE!!!


There is lots of help going around NT.......but theres a difference between getting help and having everything handed to you.

do you have to email them?  or do you just checkout through their website?  because I don't' see a size option when I go to the product page. 

To be frank...

I don't know. I was doing some reconaissance/footwork and came across them.

Made an atttempt to throw 'em in the bin but it wouldn't give me that option.

My guess is that they at LEAST want you to sign up and then you may be able
to select your size.

Or its strictly a presale and they'll email you when available. Never dealt with that
particular site but they seem legit.

After this weekend... we will see the type of hysteria that will follow this release.

Koombaya my lord...

By hands let us pray.
