DTLR is White Marsh went down the line and asked everyone their size and said that if your size sells out you can only go up or down 1 half size or you can't get a pair. They ended up having enough for everyone in line and still would not let anyone get a second pair even after everyone in line got one pair.

Man, I have that feeling too...but dont want to speak on it...starting my legwork on that now.
 
still sitting on DS 10.5s from 2004.....didnt cop this release but wondering what the quality comparison might be...might need to throw a pair up for sale.

I hope my size 10 will fit just fine, even if I need to use those shoe guards...

I ususally wear a 10 in everything, I know my white and reds from '09 are a 9.5 and they fit just fine.

Didn't wanna risk it so I bought a 10 from EndClothing while I could. Guess I'll find out Friday when they get here!
 
how do you not know the history of finishline ?

still counting on Euro sites ?

where you been ?

the game has changed, gotta revise your game plan
 
I was out at the bar last night and forgot about the release. I checked my phone at 12:05 and followed the twitter link, checked out, and got an order confirmation from ndc at 12:08. Thank you Verizon 4G.
 
Fulton was a disaster today.......some people even got yoked up outside Jimmy Jazz.....mom/pop stores wanted 300 a pair. F that. On the way home stopped at another mom/pop in Bay Ridge. Resale price was 225, better then paying 300+. I had put aside 350 to cop 2 pairs. Im happy with my one pair. From here on out, if NDC/FNL/etc fail again on a Friday night....so be it. After today, Im not gonna be a hostage to this reselling garbage.
 
Woke up at 8:30am and decided to check my local mall, which opened at 9am, for the hell of it since I was on my 
way to pick up some breakfast. First walked into Champs and they had one 8.5 left so I checked it out and thought about

maybe trading it with someone for my size but decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Then I went to Footlocker with

ZERO expectations, and asked if they had a 9.5 or 10...FTL bro asked me if it was birthday...got the last pair they had. 

What turned out to be a hellish night in front of my laptop for hours on end with the constant time out's from NDC, turned 

into the easiest walk-in cop yet

Finishline is a diaster. You can never, and I mean never count on them to come thru.
I would say approximately 75% of the orders I placed with FNL the past 3 years got cancelled.

Remember, they don't ship from a warehouse, they ship from individual stores. 
Of course with hot releases, the store mgr just replies back that size was not available and then it gets cancelled.
Crappy company, crappy system crappy name...
  


Finishline indeed does have a warehouse that they use to ship bigger releases from. stop giving false info.
