Do you feel bad for people not getting there Jays?

[darthska]

No.

I feel bad for homeless people, folks who live in war torn countries where bullets fly by their ears when they just try to go to the grocery store, women whoare raped, etc.

Not someone who missed on their opportunity to drop loads of cash on a pair of shoes.

I didn't even bother looking at her face of disappointment. -_-

Were both of those for you alone?

If they were both shoes were for you then it was pretty messed up. I would not have kept a mom from trying to buy her child a christmas present because of my greed.

Nope.

One was a Christmas present for my pops.

i never see reactions of people when they cant get they shoes i always walk in in the afternoon or evening to pick up my kicks , i guess all the sad peopleis home by that time

 

[richiedge]

Depends on the person and the situation, but there simply aren't enough pairs for everyone (in terms of 11/12 and the Jams). So its no one's fault itsjust supply and demand.

well said.

 

[goochi]

I had a pair reserved in 11.5 to pick up BY 9.30 and I get to the door at nine, dude tells me he sold em and im like "why? you said 9.30" to which heresponds "looks like 9.30 to me" and laughs, I was so close to beating this kids @%*. I wouldnt do it over shoes but his attitude was soooodisrespectful, back home his @%* would have been left bleeding if he tried some *#!# like that.

So basically, Im just left with no SpaceJams and an urge to fight, great.

 

[keithdajuiceman]

yeah I do, because I know what it feels like.....

 

[rudy]

hey its either him or me

 

[zapatito007]

nah u cant feel bad for people that didnt get there pair theres worst thiings in life,, big deal u didnt get ur shoe u wanted,, i didnt get a pair i didnt tryhard enough cats that really wanted a pair went out there n waited for midnight release in the cold,,, regardless if u want them bad enough ull get them ullsave n pay more even if it hurts,,

 

[illmatic34]

For the genuine sneakerheads, yeah. For the hypebeasts and resellers, hell no.

Funny you bring this up though. I was in line for the Space Jams, damn near the end of the line too. I got the last pair in my size but there was an old ladywho was in front of me in the line outside the store that wanted my size. She looked really upset and I felt hella grimey for it.

 

[cedric ceballos 1995 lakers]

if they put the time and effort in to get their pair and ended up empty handed then yeah. it sucks to not get your pair.

if they expected everyone else to tell them where to go and do the work for them, then hell no.

 

[aljayz863]

i got the last 11 in my store and 2 other guys came in asking for n 11. maybe they should've woken up earlier or make n extra effort

 

[ayotheballa]

Lol. Nopee.

 

[kb8virginia]

Of course I feel bad for them....been there, was there...remembered the day not getting the the DMP 11 and 6

 

[jordancrazy16]

Its depends on the situation. For instance the other day when I copped the space jams dudes was arguing and complaning about getting there pairs so when I gotmines (1 in line btw) I laughed at those who was still stressin over getting theres

THANK YOU!

First of all, I'd never get in line for a pair of shoes, much less feel sorry for people who do, and this is coming from someone who's bought AirJordans since 1990. If you place that kind of importance on obtaining a pair of shoes, you need to SERIOUSLY re-examine your life. The only thing sadder isthe OP starting a thread about whether you feel sorry for people in that situation.

 

[othelloxtwon]

come on man...you serious with this question??

This.
I was second in line dude in front needed a sz 10 camped out for 12 hrs it was his 1st campout & he came out empty handed, shady FTL scooped up all but 7pairs I felt bad I got my pair but I still called FTL & filed a complaint. Shout out to my So Cal High Desert shoe heads.

 

[cberr]

It totally depends on the situation and the person.

 

[darthska]

For me, like I mentioned earlier, it doesn't depend on any situation or any person.

I'm not feeling bad for a person not getting the hot kicks they wanted. Some old lady failing in her attempt to get Alpha 1s, some 9-yr.-old trying to getsome rare Yeezys and missed out; I don't feel bad for either one.

All these hot kicks are just kicks. Someone not getting them does NOT bring about any sympathy from me, regardless of the person or the situation.

And yes, I have missed PLEEEEENTY of kicks I wanted to scoop up over the years. And every single time, I've thought 'Dah well.'
