I work near Hollywood so I had to make the call to someone local or I'd be in the same boat as you fam
I was like F*it, and decided to take a drive to NTSM got there in 45 min.Traffic was not that bad and got my size 11.

Seen my pair in person. Just like the playoff quality. The matching socks go hard. T shirt not so much.

It's getting to be too much at this point, Nike can't get their releases right. Just make enough damn pairs for everyone, then you'll truly see who buys sneakers because they like the sneakers as opposed to liking the hype.
Not wasting a tank of gas and valuable time, not worth it, IMO.
No knock, but people are just too happy to bendover and oblige to all this nonsense.
You're right, this is too much work just to reserve a pair. People were camping out 3-4 hours to simply get a wristband.Not only that, but they always do the wristbands at some random time in the day, as if we have no job or other obligations that we can just head over the store like sheep and line up for their shoes. I will be trying my luck online at 5 am and if I strike out, will go to my nearby retailer and try to cop a pair.
I absolutely agree. I'm in orange county too that whole round trip drive isn't worth it. Too bad they closed the triangle square Niketown, that would be handy for us here in Orange County.

NTLA just tweeted that they still have a FSR available tomorrow morning, first come, first serve for any NT peeps still on the hunt....
I think there will be more than enough of these to go around. Idk why I'm even stressing to even find my size, I just want my sz10 and trade or sell the 10.5 I will be getting!!

I feel everything you posted here but 15+ years is a long time to wait for a colorway to retro. I'd waste time and gas for that.Originally Posted by ooIRON MANoo

People have their opinions and that's respectable, but I still prefer Playoffs by a landslide over these. I will buy these though.

The Olympic 6's seems to be getting all the talk right now. No love for the Obsidians tho, sad
I don't get it tho, this is the first time the Obsidian's are being retro'd in mids, but not everyone is happy.
I want to see how it will turn out after the 23rd, how Nike will deal with the Olympics. Because the 12's, is just a test.
C'mon Nike what do you guys have in store for all of us come July....

I hate to bring up the sizing question, but for those of you that have them- Do they run the same as as the playoff.
I wear a 12 in everything but ended up getting a 11.5 in the playoffs b/c I felt like my feet were swimming in the 12s.

and for NTSM to have the registration last night until 9pm, only to run out of size 15, kind of says a lot too. I'm starting to believe these will be easy.

Yes, they fit the same. when ever you buy the same jordan # that year, the sizing would always be the same.
