Official Air Jordan XI Concord Release thread 12/23/11 NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

Anybody have the number or name of the person I write a letter of complaint to for Champs Sports?

I'll just say I've never in my life witnessed something as crazy as this. I collected shoes in college to wear and I never had a problem getting any shoe. Now, this thing has just turned into foolishness. I will never understand why people drop nearly $200 on a shoe to sell and make MAYBE $100-$150. I thought shoes were to wear.

I was at a mall yesterday where there was a stampede to the door because it was about the 3rd or 4th time they told people to line up and leave. Then there were 6 doors that could be opened and they only wanted to open one thus creating further chaos. The police asked people to move to the side and I was one of the few who listened. It was a good thing because they maced/pepper sprayed people to get them to form a single line (which ironically still didn't happen).

After that I got back in line only to be let in AFTER the people who stampeded and didn't listen. I get in the mall and was told there were no more 8.5 or 8 anything and to wait on the side. Then I was told by the Champs manager "well Footlocker will have your size but you have to get in the back of their line". Someone who left the line gave me their size 8 so I said ok maybe i'll try it on and see b/c my 01 breds are an 8.

After waiting another hour I get in the store and at the register I'm told I can't try on the 8. BUT there's an 8.5 sitting on the counter (this is AFTER they said I was the last 8 anything). I asked if I could have that one and they refused and said I can only get what's on my ticket (an

. Then I was told you can't try the shoe on and it's no refunds or exchanges. I'm like wait this is CHAMPS Sports right??? I call my spouse to see if it's worth it and this rude chick snatches the shoes and says "next in line" you're taking too long. That's when I became livid. I politely and intelligently (no foul language or anything) explained to her that disrespect is unacceptable in any way shape or form and called the DM over to the counter. He told her to go back to the stock room and leave, but I was heated.

They still didn't let me purchase the 8.5 so I left with high hopes for the 8 only to have them be a little too small-just like I suspected. I don't want to flip J's...I really just want to wear my size.

I'll def be calling corporate for all of this c o o n e r y (wait NT edits words like c o o n e r y now? LOL) and if I get anything less than my size I'm taking this to the next level. Oh and btw...I have video for leverage.

Honestly, 2011 might be the last time I purchase any Jordans. It's just not this serious anymore. If Champs doesn't clear this up responsibly I'll make sure they lose at least 100 customers and that more people on a larger scale are aware of this incident.
 
CALMLY PICKED UP MY PAIRS THIS MORNING.

1 OF MY PERSONAL PAIRS AND MY DAUGHTERS PAIR



TOLD MY DAUGHTER I WASN'T GONNA GET HER CONCORDS FOR CHRISTMAS SHE GAVE ME THIS FACE:



SHE KNOWS BETTER
 
did everyone that ordered from natterjacks get confirmation email sent to them?
 
lol y'all blowing up CT i just want to check the status of my order from earlier this morning but it's lagging like a MOFO
 
Don't listen to people they Saltly they didn't get a pair the quality on these are great for retros. These and the last shots have had suprisingly good quailty for Jordan brand
 
well i got a paypal receipt but nothing from finishline.... idk if my order went through or not... they kept saying they couldnt process my order with my cc, so i used paypal and i got a paypal email but no finishline email...

I gotta say not since I camped out for Diamond stuff on Fairfax have I done the whole overnight thing. Thank Allah homie posted up with us had a heater that attaches to a propane tank cuz it was cold in the 818. Anyways although I'm bummed I didn't get my size, I just remembered there were some cats who were lined up in front of me outside the mall that ended up with 0. This will definitely be the last time I camp this long for some kicks. Total time I camped for my TB3s and Metallic Vs at the same mall was 3-4 hours. I'm hoping the same can be said for for the Cement Ivs in February. For now, I'll cop the Stealths and try to find a discount coupon to use, and wait for Nike to discount the Citron and Infrared Bo Jacksons on NDC to $67 and cop them. At this point I'll take some B grade JOQDANS if that's the only thing wrong with em. So long as the box and rest of it is legitish

way to stay informed, ya really know what's going on in your community huh?
the cop out (pun intended) ultimately makes her sound like an idiot
Cmon now, unless there is an officer that collects kicks, it would be stupid to expect a police department to know about something like this. It's just like them knowing about a Twilight release or something dumb like that.

same here rep said they might ship today, or sat
 
only skimmed the last few pages but i assume everyone who didnt get a pair had a similar experience as mine:

-got to the mall at abt 430A for a 6A expected open @ FNL.
we wait, get let in and rush to get in line only to find out the employees had already purchased over half the pairs they had. only had 1 pair in my size and another dude got em.

-tried to order on FNL.com but assume that's gonna get cancelled.

Footlocker @ the mall had their UPS truck robbed and they stole the shipment, expect to get more pairs monday, gonna line up again. not gonna chase shoes after this, it's too much.

%@#+ this release though. lot of shiesty !!#% went down that got me feeling real angry at %@+#!%!%+#**%.

*cue buddy from Belly eating a Banana gif*
You must have got there really late then. They didn't let anyone start lining up until 7pm. I got there at 9:15pm with my 3 friends. There were about 400-500 people ahead of us. But NTChicago got 1000 pairs.

At 3:07, we finally got in. all of walked out with the sizes we wanted. while we were there, they had plenty of ALL sizes 7.5 and up.

I had my fiance, and her friend, along with my brother in law and his wife trying on 5 laptops to get in to eastbay and anywhere else. not one pair from that. they were shocked, i wasn't.

At least i got the pair, in the size i wanted. very happy! worth the 6 hour wait

MY NDC order got cancelled due to pure stupidity, on my part. I was psyched cause I got a nike confirmation and was good to go...but, since,I used paypal that had an ollllllllld cell phone number that no longer exists, my order was cancelled. Lesson to those: update your paypal information or get screwed like me. Thought I had my pairs secured through NDC....sadly mistaken:frown:


Thank Godddd, Jesus, and Tebow for Dro3000!!!!

From experience, this will help you.
Which one do you recommend? I was thinking the iPad 2 would suffice. I've heard it goes through smoothly on NDC most of the time.


My MacBook Pro didn't let me down. I was able to order the BC IIIs and the concords. I think having a pretty fast computer helps.

oh FFFFUUUUUUKKKKKKKKK did i just get myself????
I think its oqium.com or oquim.nl both work. I think the nl is a netherlands site. (just guessing) but the shoes come out to about 280 including shipping.
Yeah both sites are the same, the .nl shows prices in Euros and the .com shows $$$. Tried my luck with a 12.5 and my order went thru. I only see a size 7 left now. They seem pretty legit but you can never be too sure!
