Shoe Palace did there calls yesterday, but from what I know the So Cal area got very limited numbers of shoes. 

Good Luck Fellas !

to be fair I thought this was gonna be just like the metallic 5's and WC 4's

And lets not get started on ADC launches. BS loop allows the autobots to take all the inventory.

What if they using vacay or sick time though? Essentially they're getting paid to wait for the shoes. Not necessarily how I'd like to spend a day off work but hey get paid for camping if that's what you have to do.
Come on now fellas... Adidas pulls the exclusivity act too.

For many companies (including mine), any time off that you haven't used is cashed out when you end your employment with that company. If your time off policy is like that, then you're actually losing out on 8 hours of money. Obviously, you use the time off if you want to do something worthwhile (even sleep), but standing in line for 24+ hours is NOT worth it.

And if my time off policy couldn't be cashed out, I still wouldn't want to camp for an entire day... just not worth it to me, I'd rather just pony up the 150 extra for resale if I struck out online.

Different folks, different strokes, though. I salute anyone in that line who wants the sneakers, f the resellers.
 
I've never camped for a shoe but I would like to too just for the experience.

atleast adidas gives you a decent chance to cop their stuff , they do ipad raffles, online wait system. nike its so hard because of bots and rigged raffles , even the draw is botted. nike does a poor job of getting coveted items into comsumers hands. Thats why ill buy adidas over nike until they change that.

All this

Adidas does limited **** too of course.

But its def more even of a shot to get what you want

No reason that I should do 4 raffles for the same shoe and not win on any of them

I think it's kinda embarrassing for a full grown man camping for a shoe that's just me tho!

True. Maybe when I was younger but now you wouldn't catch me dead waiting in line for that long. Just shows how low these guys value their time. At 0%. Sad. Time is your most valuable asset.

Time > Money
