i remember at my mall, they started this @#%$ that you had to come the day before release day to get a paper bracelet or else you couldnt get the shoes.
So i got there, AND THERE WERE SOOOO many people came, well come time to give out the bracelets there was just a stampede and one mother and her baby got practically ran over....so security got pissed offf and called off the event saying that the shoes are not releasing anymore.
then they closed down footaction (cause grapes were l'style) and made up this @#%$ that the president/executive was coming to the store... which was total BS btw...
then FA had the nerve to make copies of a paper saying that the release was cancelled and they were shiping the grapes back to JB, and they taped those papers to EVERY door in the dam mall....so i got there the next morning at around 6:00 am, and there were about 35-40 people waitin in line in front of me....turns out they were going to release the shoes afterall, and they just put the signs up TO KILL THE HYPE AROUND THIS RELEASE...
I got my 4 pairs....sold one to a friend that couldnt get them, sold the other at DXC SF, the other is stocked and the last has been ROCKED...lol
