Nike Air Foamposite One "Galaxy" 2/25/12: NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING! YOU WILL BE BANNED!

Did Dallas HOH release them? Any info? I didnt think they had any in TX. The phones are off the hook or keep going to fax.

This release ain't about making money bro.  If that were the case, they'd be on NDC where there's no middle man and they can break off 100% of the profits instead of selling wholesale to a retailer at 55% of MSRP.  And surely you don't really believe that only sneakerheads are out to cop; I would venture that of the campers, the majority are amateur resellers, a fair amount of hypebeasts and a few devoted sneaker heads.  NSW in particular is driven by the hype machine; when is the last time you've ever seen ANY marketing for a Nike Retro? 

There's no going back to the quickstrike because it's just not possible anymore.  We live in the instant age, with blogs and social media and even ancient old Niketalk always getting the jump on unreleased product.  While it would be nice for more pairs to be floating out to make an easier cop, the demand isn't going down for the sneaks anytime soon.

One of the Footlockers I go to is separate from a mall, and has one door for an entrance. People know to line up. They hand out sizes in order of the line and once they're out of that size, they're out.

The problem with malls I've seen is the vast amount of doors and how they don't want you interfering with other customers. So they don't want you camping out, so chaos results in the parking lot and a bunch of people just standing around. When they open the mall, they open the mall, so people are at every door trying to get in the mall. They don't open a specific door. Nothing is organized or planned. Then you have several stores who aren't working together. Stores have people lining up, and don't tell them we only have 20 pair.

If this keeps happening I suspect cities and malls will have to either start planning better or they'll start complaining to Nike.

They're using a great deal of police and man hours to handle issues the mall should and it's starting to happen on a regular basis.

Maybe I'm not to sure, asked my boy and he said they didn't get them but who knows.
 
Just got back from HOH SouthCenter. Basically, it was madness.

Security and cops made us stand on the sidewalk across the parking lot from the HOH entrance, then made us run across when they honked a horn. Everyone kept going into the parking lot multiple times before the horn and kept getting pushed back to the sidewalk. When we finally ran, some dude actually fell and dropped a gun, and another dude who paid a couple people to run for him tried to sneak up to the front and got pulled out by the cops, got hit a couple times, then got thrown to the ground and maced. I watched it happen. It was ridiculous. I was about midway through the line and the cops kept yelling to back up, so I stepped out of the line to help the cops, tried to get back in and people were saying I was cutting. Had to go to the end, missed out on any shoe, then went to the champs on the north side of the mall to try to get the other shoes. They had maybe 60 people in line with over 150 shoes available, but they let people buy all 3 shoes. I was near the end of that line and missed out, but some dude outside told me $200 for a pair of Dave White 1's in size 12 and i quickly jumped on that.

Don't think I'll be trying a release like this ever again. It was insanity.
 
I feel mad violated by this release. Lets not front like this is the first ultra limited shoe Nike has come out with (Pigeons, etc) but this is probably the only one I actually liked and would go after if everybody and their momma had a pair. I'd probably rock em today too if I got my hands on em. But then Nike doesnt even put em online (as if anyone had a real shot at em anyway) and the only way to acquire them is to sleep outside for a week.

I never say this because I'm realistic about the fact that if a shoe I love comes out, if I have the means I'm gonna get them but this release has left such a sour taste in my mouth to the point I dont wanna buy shoes anymore. I just feel disgusted. Again lets remember this isnt the first limited release fiasco but it hit so close to home because I love foams and thought the colorway was dope.


Can anyone break down the 34th street footlocker/footaction releases? As far as I understand tickets were handed out tuesday? Or were there new people lined up yesterday?
