Pretty much what I did and I got the 88 WCIIIs. Somehow I missed out on the Grapes which were the most GR you could get.

I disagree I think the FR3's and grapes were produced in much higher numbers than the Toros. FR3 was FCFS, grapes weren't. I don't remember what Toro's were, but I think toros = green glows (another FCFS) will be about the same production #'s.

agree. also if you are like to have many browsers open and like to click back and forth. you can click add all day on eastbay, champs, footlocker, and footaction.
you can also do it for nike also, but it is a little more tricky. just sit on the splash screen for finishline.
been able to grab multiple pairs from all releases that i wanted. but then again i only wanted a few pairs unlike many other people here

Green glows were produced in grape #s decent amount of people missed out. Seemed as if everyone who wanted to was able to get paies of toros. I grabbed 3 myself 2 for other nters. Fr3s i dont think attracted as many people thats why they were easily obtainable and pairs still available days later. DSG had a fsr like monday or tuesday after. My local spot still has a cpl pairs n we only get 1 pair per size when we get releases

Yah I agree. Taking that long to sell out is a sign that the shoe is slept on/not popular. Breds that were 500-700k according to what I have been told sold out in a day in most places
If a shoe is popular, I dont see it lasting more than 2-3 days on shelves no matter how much were produced.

if you doing mobile, i recommend finishline or nike. but yea, it might work for the other sites, but i feel like phones would be better with just one window open. tablet might be better.

Timing and Internet speed are everything. socially for non TLO/and limited releases. if your resorting to splash pages and refreshing you have minimal hope for limited sneakers. And for non TLO releases you can sneak in and cart the shoes before the link drops via twitter, as long as you have the link before hand which you can usually find on here.

Dont give up already. FNL & NDC mobile can be very succeasful you juat gotta be quick as u can when thwt go live. FNL link is usually live about 10-20 seconds before drop time so u may be able to sneak in and grab a pair. NDC just click the link n go quick as u can and if its not tlo you have even better chance because more n more people either wait for tweets or rely on a bot these days and with no tlo its easier for ya. Green glow tweet didnt come out until 3 minutes after release i was already checked out with order confirmation on NDC

Feel pretty confident about this release. Will be doing the same thing I did for the Fire Red IIIs and Toro Bravo IVs: sneak into the mall through the employee entrance while everyone else is waiting outside, thus being first in line... 
Will be doing this for the rest of the releases.

Don't even use finishline. Don't see how finishline is an option. Once you get through the splash page they might cancel your oder anyway. A finishline rep told me that two people can have the same shoe in their cart and whoever checks out first wins. The other order would be cancelled. And that is why FNL always has 10 cancelled transactions on paypal or ends up holding hundreds or even a thousand+ dollars until the transaction clears.
It is far too annoying to call your bank to tell them to drop the holds on your account.

This release will have enough pairs to satisfy a majorly of people who try to cop. I'm just gonna enter every raffle in proximity of me and of that fails order online.

Multiple releases too.
No way thats the reason

Ill see what I can do for you but ordering online might be easy too if its like the fire reds that released in January. I was tempered to order off FNL because they still had them in stock for while

yeah ill still def try online though cuz online drop time here is 6am and usally before mall doors open on the east right? or do malls open up early out there? I know our mall doesnt open until 10
i also might have a friend that will be in town still that saturday before she leaves for labor day weekend, if so then maybe she can pick them up in store.
preciate it though

Y'all think these will be a consolation prize for some of the people that miss out on the fear 5s this week?
I don't like any of the fears and I've been anticipating this release for months, just curious what y'all think.

I think so. Fear Vs are going for 370+ in my facebook group. Both from people who will grab you a pair with a bot on release and from people who already have them.

The Fear 5's are going to be next to impossible to lock up (at retail). There are only 2-3 places near me getting them and the one that is close enough and safe enough in my mind to go to is for some reason doing FCFS. Hope no one gets shot and killed. This is the first release like this that hasn't been a raffle and isn't more widely available. Everything else including limited stuff has been easy to cop around here.

You need to start using a watermark app, if you're going to post stuff like that on Twitter or ig
