Paying resale prices to get a shoe early, all for the sake of avoiding hassles? Really?!

That's why resellers will always eat. Y'all steady feeding them. I don't care if its only $30 over....
How's about stepping y'all game up to the point you call your connect & you stroll in whenever you feel like it on Saturday to pick up your pair or pairs..... FOR RETAIL. As many shoes as some of you guys buy, I can't believe y'all ain't build some form of relationship with somebody on the inside where you DON'T have to deal with the nonsense.
Y'all need to get out more....
