i know but i used to wait online and i would still come up empty handed. i used to wait on line at the major footaction or footlocker stores and my size would sell out.

If it's worth it to you spend it. Don't let someone dictate how much and what you spend your money on. At the end of the day it's only $70 more than what you would spend ordering online if the $250 includes tax & shipping. Some people on here value money more than time and relaxation. Choice is yours.
^^^^^ He got his fit for the Grapes tho! ^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't get it, so the shoe lost a little of its mystique because of
resellers in the line? It's the same shoe it always has been.

no. just put a little bit of effort and you'll get them for retail. if you have to try for an hour online, do it. you'd be spending much more at 250 than you'd make in an hour at work.

- Eastbay,
- Footlocker
- Champs
- Finish Line
- NDC
- DTLR
- Jimmy Jazz (Mid Nite release but site most likely crash and introduce you to backpack Jimmy)

That's right, you tell it like it should be. But just to clarify with you, Eastbay, Foot Locker and Champs are basically the same thing since they're coming from the same warehouse.

Whats the easiest place online to cop, if need be? I have only had luck with Champs (Swingman Lebron 9's) and Eastbay (Black & Red 13's, but they put them up for sale like a week after RD. I don't think anyone expected them to go up when they did, so I flew in and got them fairly easily), every other time I've struck out.

You need to try for about 30 min - 1hr. When you get the add to cart error from Eastbay/FTL/Champs/FA sites just keep trying and eventually it will get added to your cart. I've copped from these sites pretty much on all releases except for the Royals that were soldout in like 10 mins. For NDC you need to closely monitor their twitter account. Jimmy Jazz you'll have better luck at hitting the Jackpot at the casinos than scoring on release dates since their site is so poor at handling heavy traffic.
You need to put your effort into it and you will be able to get your shoes at retail. Do you make $90 an hour? cuz if you don't you should invest an hour trying to cop online and save that $90.

I agree since this time they are gonna be so many of them produced. I'm gonna put my pair on ice for at least a few months. I hate going out and seeing 4 or 5 other people rocking the same kicks as me.

i def wear my sneakers when i have time. its not about how many people are rocking the same sneaker.What it boils down to is who rocks it the best.I agree since this time they are gonna be so many of them produced. I'm gonna put my pair on ice for at least a few months. I hate going out and seeing 4 or 5 other people rocking the same kicks as me.Still a classic though.

The easiest place to cop for me has always been finishline. They don't hold pairs in carts so it's pretty fair. I like how nike does free shipping but it's too hard to cop there with all the bots. Eastbay sometimes back orders so you'll get your shoes a little later. My list goes FNL, NDC, FTL, Eastbay, Footaction, Champs. Get a feel for the sites and see what you like

or just not caring what everyone else is doing and doing what you want to do. wearing what you want to wear. being who you are.
I mean heck, these rich celebrities are wearing the same shoes we are but I don't see them saying, "im not rocking these black/red XIs because everyone else is."

People create imaginary competitions when in all actuality they are in competition with no one but themselves.
