No. I'd order online and have them come to my door. Gas is high now too.

WOW!!.....things are really heating up now. I wanted to get another pair to put away, but it seems like the hype is REAL for these.
I guess I'll give NDC a shot tonight.

I would.. plus the time frame to pick the shoes up is pretty fair.. 10am to 5pm.. so you have a little time to sleep in. What part of Cali are you from?

Every store should start following the same system, like most of the malls out here in the Bay Area... They don't let you camp out anymore! I remember people camped out 24 hours before the RD for the Concords and Cement 4's. Then the security and police kicked them all out at midnight and told them to come back at 6am...
I think this is one way to stop the camping out madness...

I agree 30 is nothing if you really want them.
If reselling not worth it, think wasted gas.

See this is another problem too... Store releasing them in different hours.
What this does, is that it allows this damn resellers to cop multiple pairs by just finding out the schedule of releases and driving from one spot to another. Specially where I'm from. Malls here are only about 10-15 miles apart from one another.
All stores should open at the same time. This gives more of a fair chance for everyone to able to cop a pair. This will also cut the resellers down because they won't have multiple pairs to sell anymore and less people will buy them over retail because they are able to spread out all the extra pairs that the resellers are not able to get anymore.

even if all the stores open at the same time, resellers just bring their whole and put them in different lines. I saw grandmas, girl friends, moms, dads for the cement IV and concord releases

It's worth the drive because the shoes are already reserved for you.
I rather drive 30 miles than wait 9-12 hours in line.

I'm not from Cali..I'm from Vegas but when I do visit there I try to time it so I can be on Cali freeways around 10a-12p it's usually not as busy as it is in the early morning. Giving that tomorrow is a weekend would probably ease the traffic a little bit since the weekday working people are not on their freeways as usual. Since the pick up window for NTLA if I'm not wrong is 10a-5p then I say it's perfect and could def. hit the spot within an hour.

Yea I get that... I didnt say that it's going to stop it completely. But this will atleast slow it down a bit and maybe lower down the resellers price a bit also... This only cuts down another way of resource for them.
