I'm not sure how many they had for the folks in line, but I think I was #27 and I got the last pair that that were giving out to people inline (size 7.5). Luckily I got that inside man who set aside a size 10.5 for me too. There were another 2 people that had similar inside connects that I knowof b/c we were all there checking out at 9:05pm after closing. But I was specifically told that HOH Chi got 32 pairs, so that still leaves 2 pairs unaccountedfor... Frank prolly got them or they went home with Doug the manager.

That said, this is precisely why I don't accept payments for HOH releases before I have the shoes in hand ready to ship. I don't want some pissantNTer coming in here boo-hooing like I tried to pull one over on him and trying to besmirch my good name.
Yeah I said "besmirch" (look it up).

i feel where your comming from 100% but ive always had this mindset when buying. i'm not going to let hype and the market determine how much i pay for apair of shoes. truthfully i don't like the color on these compared to the 2002 pearls but either way the most i would pay for them is $250. you canconsider it lowballing and quite honest i would understand why anyone who put in the work to get these to sell would think i'm lowballing but mymentalitly has always been that their just shoes i can live without them, i can hold out until someones desperatly in need of fast money and gotta sell asapand cheap or whatever.
thats just me thinking though, ive had no problem getting some real steals strictly off of patience and looking around, i'm a rare breed these days mostpeople when they don't get their shoes go into panic mode and are willing to pay those exuberant prices on ebay or on here so resellers i can't knockyou guys one bit at all.

Its hard to imagine the craziness in NY, but by looking at the pics....HA still can't imagine it!
The morning of, I signed on NT, saw the Pearl thread at 9:00 am pst, and saw they changed the release date. I called HoH LA at 10:00 am and asked..."Youguys have the pearl foams? and is there a line outside" and he said "yeah, just got them and no line"
I got there by 10:15, no one there, picked up 3 pairs, waited for my homie and picked up 1 more. Thats why I cant imagine the NY craziness, guess i was reallylucky. Thank god for NT.

You weren;t crazy. It was a gamble, okay, you'll be refunded.The guy behind me traveled 2 1/2 hours from Indiana to get his and either got a14 or a 7.5, maybe neither. HE WENT OUT AND TRIED HIS BEST. HOW CAN YOU BE MAD AT SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO HOOK YOU UP. I DONT CARE WHERE YOU LIVE, IF THERE ISNT AHOH WITHIN 500 MILES OF YOU. DO NOT BLAST SOMEONE IF THEY ATTEMPTED TO GRAB YOU A PAIR. THE SAME GUY TRIED TO GET 20 OTHER PEOPLE THEIR PAIR. HE PROB HEARD THESAME RUMOR THAT I DID "THERES PLENTY TO GO AROUND". ALL CAPS BCUZ THAT MADE MEOriginally Posted by 3thaman

Only MJ's. I guess you do run Chicago Kinda? I'm not far behind. U have like... 10 years on me? lol.
You were right here the first time...........we gotta connect tho on future releases.........i have something big planned! get at me!
^^^^^^ All gravy..you got my number ...next release...you already know!
The HOUSE OF HOOPS NIKE AIR FOAMPOSITE DS SIZE 9 COLLECTION IS COMPLETE!
^^^^^ IF YOU DID NOT GET A MESSAGE FROM ME SAYING THAT I GOT YOUR PAIR ..THAT MEANS THAT YOU WILL BE GETTING A REFUND AS SOON AS ITS TRANFERRED BACK INTO PAYPAL..........YOU CAN ONLY SWIPE THE PAYPAL DEBIT CARD SO MANY TIMES BEFORE THEY LOCK IT YA DIG!
MY TEAM WAS SMALL...LIKE MICRO BUT WE STILL MANAGED 7 PAIRS
Listen man I need my money, I knew I was crazy to send someone I don't know $264 and wait around for 3 months like a !!+!!++ thinking everything was o.k.All I've heard was how I was good to go and then I see this ^, not good business to come in show off your pair and just throw in that the people who you didn't get pairs for will just have to wait to get their money back depending on when you and paypal can work it out.
I'd be interested to know just how many people got the shaft on this deal?
I can see if you wanted your money refunded, but this isn;t just about that. To be honest, if someone asked me to hook them up, and there was one pair left, IMGONNA GRAB THAT PAIR FOR MYSELF! I WAS THE ONE THAT WAITED. AND THE OTHER PERSON DIDNT PAY ME ANY EXTRA.
And yes! I would post a pic for NT. WHY NOT?! He worked hard for his pair....
It's easy to log on to paypal, send money(not even really compensating then) and then complaining. He didn;t buy 20 pair and put them ion ebay. He got 7pair, and hooked other people up, prob people hes better associated with. HOW CAN U BE MAD?!

One of the worst sneaker releases ever! People are dumb enough to allow sneakers, to take them out of character. I love my kicks. Its nothing but sneakers forme but. But the shoe game has changed. There are too many people ruining for the rest of us.

word I can't take that away from anyone. If they on top of their game for sure. But I'm talking about the store getting shut down because of themadness. Or stores deciding to do raffles because its to much of a hassle. Hey you don't have to agree with me but I knew the shoes game. When things weredifferent. That's all I'm trying to say.

Ha!, yeah; I peeped you there rolling in all late in the evening and I knew something was up; I pretty much assumed,at that point, that some pairswere set aside. I didn't want to put you out there like that though. My bud was 22nd in line, and only 2 folks after him got pairs. You were last in linethen. I didn't notice you in line at all though. Then again, I wasn't paying too much attention at that point...

The store didn't get shut down over "madness". The dudes that were out there were as peaceful as it gets for the most part.
It got shut down because 1) there where about 700-1,000 out front with no walk space for pedestrians. 2) The release wasn't too organized on the first day3) NYPD/former hs hall monitors are a bunch of sensitive pricks (no offense to my boy who is a cop, but even he can be a sensitive a-hole from time to time).
They tried to tell 1,000 people not crowd an already naturally crowded street with no where else to move and no barricades. Everytime they asked all they got afew hundred of these:
I'd be aggy too if I had a gun and no one listened to my orders...
I didn't see whatever fight that went down, but still all things considered things REALLY could have been worse.
