I always cop the kicks I want as I have bought my kicks from the same spot for the last 15 years and the owner likes his loyal customers. I went in there Dec22nd and asked him to put a size 13 Spacejam aside and he did and I copped with NO hassle. I don't feel bad at all. Why should I feel Bad???

I don' feel bad for people not getting their jordans. It's survival of the fittest. If you snooze you loose, plain and simple. When the Old Love, NewLove Air Jordan 1 pack dropped about three years back there was a middle school kid who was next inline behind me and I got his size, next thing you know thiskid was crying. I felt bad, but then again I didn't because he shoulda been there earlier.

I hate it when people have mad connects and cop so many.... at the space jam camp out people like me and some people behind me waited for 7 hours and somepeople in front walked out with like literally 20 pairs. They should have had a ticket system or something. Oh well, I learned my lesson not to camp thereagain. And yeah it sucks that they don't take other people into account and they don't cop a pair after waiting so long.

I might have to but then considering I'm not a fan of them, it'd be different. I mean if it was the XI's or something... maybe I wouldn't be sogenerous. But I do see hellakix's point, you gotta get there early and make sure. On the other hand, sometimes it doesn't matter how early you getthere if the manager has shoes on hold or is letting employees take most of them.

I especially hate those that get 10+ pairs
(F yall resellers;Like I understand reselling 2 or 3 pairs to make some money, but 10 pairs is OD'd. Leave some for others).
But yeah, I feel bad for those that waits and come out empty-handedly

I feel that employees at stores shouldnt do "hookups" for their friends. I work at a shoe store and I've always said I don't care if your mybrother I'm not gettin you a hookup because a lotttt of people who wait and actually want the shoes badly miss out because of backdoor deals. I mean forthe spacejam release there was this kid and thats all he wanted for christmas was a pair, i told him to get there super early because he was little and peoplewould just cut him in line. He got there 4th which he couldve gotten any size he wanted at that point. But people who realized they were too far back in linestarted payin employees money to buy they're size and the kid didnt get his pair. That is when i feel bad. I mean collecting sneakers is a huge hobby to meand other outsiders arent gonna wanna start when the first time they try and copp a pair this happens. I don't feel bad however when someone doesnt gettheir second or third pair and are super upset about it. Thats just how i feel....

I feel the same way. I feel bad for the people who were out there a day or close to it earlier but I don't feel bad for resellers or linecutters. I thinklinecutters are the main characters that are behind all the release day horror stories and they tend to wind up reselling. When I'm lining up or camping,I'm me first. I won't do dirty crap but I'm not going to be standing out there just so some douche can cut me, man or woman, just because theythink they can get over. You already have to account for at 25% or so of the inventory at any store being held back due to the hookup factor and these idiotshurt your chances big time with their garbage. Then you have some stores that get the shoes and refuse to sell any of them except only to certain people. Herein Houston, Sheikh's in the Galleria will pull stunts like that.

Before you feel bad, think about how that person would feel about you if your roles were reversed.

I don't feel bad because a lot of times, i've been in the situation where i leave empty
handed, so i know how it feels.
And when you do miss out, you just have to move on because there's always another release to
look forward too. And you've also got to remember that they are JUST SHOES and that i already
have multiple pairs of shoes at home, so its really not that important

NO, plain and simple.
Its survival of the fittest, if you don't get your pair, no one cares about you.
Although i have emotion, ill just keep it moving.
