LONG READ
let me tell yall how my experience was today. So i go to university mall here in tampa. Went to champs and tried to use this $10 coupon i had. They said they wont accept it for any release day items. I said release day was 2 weeks ago, wtf? They said by release day, we mean...any product that has a release date. AKA EVERYTHING WORTHWHILE. He said they dont even accept military discounts anymore for rd products smh.
Then i said whatever, ill pay $200, let me get the lebron 11s in a size 13. Kid goes to the back, then comes out with em. I sit down getting ready to try em on and then another employee LITERALLY runs over to us. He grabs the box out of my hands and checks the size really quick. Then he snatches em outta my hand grabs the other associate and says "lets take a walk really quick." and they both walked to the back room. Im sitting there wondering wtf.....
They both come back a minute later (without the shoes) and say "Im sorry, we cant sell you those. Theyre the wrong ones. Wrong size. We dont have any 13s left." Now i KNEW this muhf***a was lying cuz the box was already slid open IN MY HANDS! it was two size 13 lebrons right in my face when he snatched em! I stood up and left.
Then i went to finish line, they didnt have any 13s, nor did Jimmy Jazz, or Foot action. Foot Locker had one pair left so i took em. but the quality on these was SOOOOOOOOO Fed up! The left shoe looks like someone just stopped giving a f*** midway through making em. Glue is showing all on the mesh. Theres tiny dents in the toe box. A small hole under the armorposite too. SMFH!
Now champs corporate is trying to soothe the situation, and nike is getting a call tomorrow about the lack of quality of these $200 shoes!
edit: by the way, at finish line they showed me the aways in person. They were absolutely nothing special and the red is nowhere near as crazy as people were saying. They looked just as plain and bland as i originally thought.
