you can actually search this thread for posts by this user.
kamuekcmo - my only issue with what you are doing is you are telling dudes go run to spot X, Y, and Z. your source could easily confirm whats good with those locations instead of sending people to fail. thats what you did with this release.

But you told people THIS WEEK and that they were already hitting stores and to get ready. You amped people up with bad info that doesn't appear to be true at all, and then you backtracked and said "sometime this year".
You try to help people out, but this instance should probably be a lesson to be less authoritative on information that you are getting second or third hand, rather than info you can confirm yourself. Because of your info, there was certainly a lot of interest. I know I got 2 or 3 unsolicited text messages yesterday just because of where I live asking if I would go to said stores and help get pairs. Never would have happened if you hadn't been so sure of your info to actually direct people to get on it this week.

I do believe kamuekcmo when he says a restock is coming so guys going in on him could be wrong. This isn't the restock you guys were waiting for tho.

Just to put kamuekcmo's posts together and show how poor his intel was on this. Story kept changing per his source. 8 stores were already sold out? Wed-Fri drops? Then just a few stores with grand openings would hold off... now it's only grand openings and none of those 8 stores got pairs? I mean none of this appears to be legit. Meanwhile, FNL's social media crew is calling this straight up BS and that according to their buyer they have none going out to stores and there is no restock happening.
Bottom line is that if this was just some pairs to stores doing reopenings, it could have been parsed down to "Hey, my FNL connect tells me stores that are doing grand re-openings this year and that will be having limited kicks like the Grant Hills will probably be getting these when they re-open. Keep an eye out for your local stores." Simple as that.

His info was wrong, but "not being exact" is a nice way of saying that! Clearly they are just shoes, but you must have missed the past 3 threads if you didn't see the obscene lengths and prices nimrods on here were going to get these.
I never said go anywhere, I said call and be on the lookout.

It's just shoes until u r the person camping in line off some bad intel. It's one thing to be wrong and I agree that's fine. But sending team retail to its death is cold blooded.

I'm sorry. You didn't say go but you gave the list then said the employees don't know they got them so calling really was a no go. It insinuated that people needed to go to the store.

I've seen the previous threads. I didn't get my pair and wouldn't mind having a pair but there's more either important or better things I can buy I Int stressing. All I'm saying is it ain't the end of the world. And I know I'm on a shoe forum but honestly most of time is spent in general

Shoes shouldn't drive people to go at each other though. What was supposed to be a helpful gesture turned out to be so much bitterness between a lot of people. Sheesh
