What’s up NT Fam!! I’ve been reading the Galaxy Foams thread
and all I could do is sit back and reflect on release dates of the past and how they were either done successfully, poorly, or something memorable about a past release. I’ve been in the game since 7[sup]th[/sup] grade 1996 and seeing how it has evolved is just crazy. It seems like we’ve gone from knowing for sure that we could grab our kicks before noon to camping weeks before a release only to luck up if anything.
One of the releases that come to mind for me that soured my passion was the Altitude 13’s in 2005. I was at PG Plaza’s Footaction and I remember getting to mall around 5am thinking nobody knew about these (the first time I slept on a release
), but true fans of J’s. When I seen that security was not regulating and the line cutting got out of hand, I knew that release dates were never going to be the same
. I ended up not getting me a pair because the manager was letting cats buy 3+ pairs. At the time though, this girl I was dating knew how bad I wanted them and some how she was able to get me a pair at a later date
. After that I tried my hand again for the Space Jams’s. I went to Manassas Mall just to make sure I wasn’t in the city, but little did I know they went hard out there for J’s as well LOL
. I ended up getting my pair of those, but for them cats in the back of the line they were salty!!!
