i wouldn't say they were the initial test and from the feedback that they received from those 2 stores and as a result decided to drop them at more stores.
when the contract was made up with JB and the outlets, they had already decided months before which outlets were going to receive them (top 15 doors for outlets and they do big jordan sales #'s)
but i could see them having chicago and portland "premiere" it to see how the logistics of handling the release would play out (ie: doing phone orders or not, staffing for phone orders, line-ups, raffling, staffing for the event, etc)

C'on now.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID ABOUT THIS RELEASE INTIALLY BUT I WAS PROVEN WRONG. LIKE I SAID I CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER NIKE SEES THE SUCCESS THESE BANNED 1'S HAD.
CAN'T BLAME THEM THOUGH. BEFORE THIS RELEASE IF I SAID I HAD ACTUALLY VISITED AN OUTLET STORE IN PERSON MORE THAN TWICE, I WOULD BE LYING.
The NorCal DM for Nike was at Vacaville (Black dude grey sweatshirt, maroon shirt, letting people in the door) and the Loss Prevention DM was also there.
I chatted it up with them for a hot minute after the release was over. We exchanged crazy stories and had a real good conversation about collecting kicks.
He told me the next big release will be a raffle and will most likely have a big release per year at outlets. I don't blame him after how some you guys straight trashed VacavilleThe garbage cans were full, but you guys acted like there wasn't a big dumpster right around the building. I was stupid faded in line, but was respectful enough to hike myself to the back to throw crap away.
Anyways he told me the MAIN reason why he decided to start doing raffles instead of line ups.
I guess it stems back to the Yeezy release when dudes lined up at NTSF for days. I guess some kids were crying to him about they could never convince their parents to stand in line for days and it's not fair. Fast forward a couple months to the next big Jordan release. I guess the DM saw the crying kid again and he was still crying, but not cause he couldn't get his kicks, but cause he got them and it was his first pair of Jordans he could actually cop, cause they did a raffle and not a line. I guess this hit home with the DM and he put the rule in effect for NorCal raffles.
He was a real cool dude and I know some of you might not be down with this raffle crap, but I can feel for kid. I had straight lied to my parents numerous times to go cop kicks in HS because they dropped in the middle of the week or people were lining up days in advance (First cool grey release). It wasn't right and still isn't right. As much as everyone may hate the raffle system it gives everyone a fair chance.
Anyone find it odd that they did this release the day after the fiscal calendar ended? They're going to show some high first quarter sales at outlets, but maybe that was the plan the whole time. Think about how much traffic and exposure a lot of these outlets got. I can guarantee it put more people onto outlets receiving heat. I was talking to a few people in line that never knew outlets got Jordan VIs, and had samples in the size 9 hash section. I know i blew a couple peoples mind when I told them Vacaville at one time had Paris dunks.
what do you mean fair? Its fairer if you just line up, first come first served. Even if you have to camp for days, thats how it is. Nobody said collecting exclusive/ sought after stuff was easy. An alternative plan would be to have wristbands with barcodes to prevent fraud and have people come in and buy the bands for the price of the shoes, before RD. Then once all the wristbands are gone, thats it. So as long as you have a wristband, you'll get a pair on RD. The wristbands should be dropped randomly to prevent a pattern from being discovered, because if the drops were at the same time, from RD, there'd be camps for them. I think its a decent idea, what do you think?

@ the idea of releasing at outlets to increase outlet sales. Did they mean the sales of just the banned 1's? or other purchases made at the oulet? Because I did check out the isles of the outlet but really didn't find anything I really needed/wanted.
