Air Jordan 1 Banned NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!!

[nobleone6969]

woodbury was basically easy... one thing i have to say is that if you are one of the first people to get in line and cop your pairs great for you. But if you think you will turn around and jump in front of me and my lady so you can cop your second before I copped my first you air must be bugging? Yeah I said something no he did not cut me. I dont give a -------- but if ya trying to be slick do it right otherwise you dont know who is on line and being it was an outlet you dont know what people have in their car. It could of gotten real ugly real quick! other then dudes not knowing how to be smooth it was an alright release

 

[eyes of hazel]

You find out who your real "comrads" are on a hot release.

Dudes think so short term, or really hurting for funds.  I dunno.

Either way, public thanks to the most unlikely source who looked out for me @ Concord on my size 11 when they were sitting on a ton. 

Payment sent chief!

You're probably right. Like I said, I just felt uncomfortable and other than the cashiers, he was the only employee I saw in the store when I came in so I didn't feel like I had many options. I'll live without these, and I'm looking forward to the TBs on Saturday which will be an easy cop. Just frustrated that I was lied to, especially if it was because of my race.

Kill yourself TWO times, please.

 

[thorrocksjs]

i hope they do a real drop for these so the folks who lucked out can grabem.

 

[runzombierun]

Was a pretty easy cop at cabazon but after you got your pair they didnt let you double up even though they had extra wristbands. was pretty weak

Yeah if I was the only black dude at a random spot in middle-of-nowhere Ohio with a crew of dudes packing up white sheets on a tractor outside,  I'd probably feel the same way. And so true about the TBs on Saturday... on to the next one.

I never saw the actual boxes, so I couldn't be sure, but they were definitely loading up. They spotted me and closed up the trunk to this car and 4 of them were just leaning up against the back of the car, all of them giving me looks. Whatever, no big deal. So I walk into the outlet and see this employee standing in the middle of the store. I walk up to him and this is the encounter:

Me: Hey, I'm looking to pick up a pair of the Banned 1's. What sizes you got left?
Him: We don't got none of those.
Me: You don't have any left at all?
Him: We don't got those.
Me: Well I know someone who was in here in the last 45 minutes and grabbed a pair.
Him: I dunno what ya talkin bout, but if you want them you should go camp up at Aurora tomorrow night. They gettin' em in for Friday.
Me: Huh? Aurora got them this morning and I know you guys got them too. This was your second shipment.
Him: Nah, don't know what you talkin bout. Aurora is havin another release on Friday mornin from what I heard but you best get there tomorrow night if you wanna cop.
Me: So you're telling me you didn't get any of these shoes today and there aren't any at this store?
Him: Nah man, I told you! I ain't got nothin' here for you. Is that it, is that the reason you're here?
Me: It was, and it's now the reason I'm leaving.

I walked out and saw the same crew talking out by the Caddy. Obviously they knew why I'd shown up, and I don't know what the deal was, but some shady %*@% was going down. I called Aurora as soon as I left and the woman I spoke with told me that was "news to us" regarding a second shipment or release on Friday. She said they had sold out of the couple hundred pairs they got, and that I could call back to find out if they were getting any more, but as far as she knew that was all they were getting and obviously there were none left.

I had never been to that outlet before, but I guess I learned my lesson. Don't show up to a hood store alone trying to get some Jordans if you're white cause they'll play dumb, feed you a whole bunch of BS and pretty much tell you to piss off. Needless to say, I have a sour taste in my mouth knowing I missed my opportunity with these, likely due to some shady business at that outlet.

That's cold and was definitely shady business, but I wouldn't say it's just because of your race.  B.S. happens, you just have to speak up.  Concord Mills was very organized however.  I ended up with my size easily.  Initially I was told that they would not be letting anyone get doubles until at least 12 noon, but there were people jumping back in line immediately getting theirs.  At least they handled everyone who had tickets first.  Overall, I'm happy; ended up with my size 10 and an 8.5.

 

[airant23]

YO!

Kev... why you didn't holla at me? Who copped for you?

DF!!!

 

[riddla713]

damn all these pics and stories of copping multiples has got me anxious, i have to wait till friday for my outlet to release them. at least i wont need to camp overnight for them, just show up about an hour before they open and i should be good, resellers arent that bad in houston, most of the pairs will go to true sneakerheads. if for some weird reason i cant cop my sz i wont be upset, im not a big fan of retro 1's but these have better quality than most jordan retros so i need at least 1 pair in my rotation.

Nah its the same woodbury. We just hopped back on, and also got random people passing to get a few more for us free of charge. I showed up 15 mins before opening, some clowns were there since nighttime

Word? I saw dudes cutting lines...

Outlet on the strip was sold out at 10AM.......I overheard someone say they opened up early since people were camped out. I have no idea what the scene is like at the downtown location.

Damn bro, so many shady stories going on for these. I know for a FACT they got this release. As my boy scooped up two pairs this morning. He got there at 7:30 and they started wrist bands at 8:30. He had his pairs by 9.

Man fam, you should have asked for a manager or something. Resellers are killing this game. Its actually pretty sad.

I probably should have asked for a manager, but given the scene outside with those guys - who I doubt were just chillin after stocking up on some hyperdunks - and given that I was alone and the only white person in sight, I just figured it was best to leave rather than let things devolve from there. At the end of the day it's still just a pair of shoes, not anything worth fighting for or getting your @@+ beat over (or worse).
If I had to guess they moved a small amount this morning cause everyone thought the Aurora store was the only one getting them. After the initial hit this morning the employees and their crew rolled the rest. I'll never know but that guy wasn't honest with me at all.

sorry to hear that man....

I guess its safe to say that phone calls are a crap shoot.

When I called South Chi, the lady on the phone was real nice. I told her I lived an hour away and wanted to know my chances of picking up a pair in my size. She put me on hold to make the effort to try to see how many pairs were left... then came back to tell me not many... and made the extra step to ask what size I was. I told her my size and then she put me on hold again to go count how many pairs in my size were still left. Came back to let me know and tell me its my call on whether to try to make the trip.

Aurora was good enough to let me know that 100+ people were already in line for these by open at 8 am and that they could not disclose how many they got.

 

[sincere]

Man, I hit up a few dudes on here for a size 13 last night. I hope that one of them come through for me. If not, I will have to pass on these cuz I'm not doing eBay's unrealistic prices.

Man, if there is a shoe god, please shine your light on me. Lol!

 

[mikkoxb]

Im assuming shoepalace is a store?...im not from the bay so yeah lol
but whoever was cut by shoepalace fools should rob his store...he basically robbed u guys

 

[upandcoming32]

woke up and found out a friend held me down with a pair

Thanks Jay.

Thanks Kalv and KC. preciate it guys

 

[chrisphreezy]

This was crazy for real. It sucks that everyone couldn't get their pairs b/c of shady @!%$. Closest outlet to me was 8 hours away in NC

Around 200 pairs, and it was a 2 limit pair per customer, everyone was copping 2 pairs.
