[D_eezus]

Camp out?

Maybe just get up at like 7-8 and drive down to be there by 8:45 or 9

Lmao this release almost got me forgetting about the pandemic. I do miss the camp out days. I remember campin at bev center for the dark nights. Had great conversations and resellers and hypebeast weren’t everywhere

my fav type of shoes at this point, i always feel weird when i put on one of my retro's that has leather, they feel so heavy, makes me feel like Tom Brady throwing fully inflated football, they're just to heavy

Putting on a new pair of Jordan 12s feels like you're wearing boots.

FCFS for the grinch according to FTL.

Nice, I'll be waiting outside like a crackhead on the 24th if SNKRS hands me that L. Hope my local FTL getting them.

shots fired, but i mean they are a dress boot inspired shoe so.....

 

[la kb24]

don’t think I ever showed my Kobe 8 “grinch” ID

 

[freeze]

I need all the options I can get for grinch's.

They should bring back the 10 and 11 on NBY

 

[howdythere]

FCFS for the Grinches? They might change it to an app raffle before release day. If they don’t backdoor pairs first, it might give people more of a shot if they’re willing to put in the time, because the FLX app system is garbage.

agreed gotta keep an eye out for the app switch. And the app is hot garbage

 

[millzszn93]

So shiekh only?

I’m on the verge of scooping up the Coal Hearted Xs. I think if I strike out on the Protro Grinches, they’ll be my consolation prize. They’ll cost me about $700 though SMH... OR they’ll be my complementary prize for acquiring the Protro Grinches LOL

I like how the seller chose a Lime Green tongue rather than a Volt one. I think the “Grinch” cw flows a lot smoother with the Green tongue than the OG volt color.

 

[joex]

Welp, it’s back on reservation on ftl app. Just can’t reserve yet.

 

[nikekid6]

a homie of mine just got his grinches

 

[yaimthatdude]

how are ppl getting them already?

 

[asiandc24]

how are ppl getting them already?

exclusive access rolled out yesterday.. I was lucky enough to get a pair. I'll definitely post pics once I get them in hand!

 

[joex]

I believe there was an early access that some people got. I wasn’t lucky enough though

 

[vnolab]

So it looks like its a SNKRS, Dicks Sporting Goods and FTL release for the Grinches but no info on what stores exactly

I'm assuming it'll be LA stores for sure but does anyone know where else?

 

[T_p_Hill]

Got around to post restoration UNDSing these for the weeks workouts.

 

[shoehd]

Wow those came out great! I need my MLK 4s to be regluded and clear again

 

[vnolab]

 

[joex]

I wonder if these were produced before or after Kobe’s passing (rip)? If it was after, I hope Nike did right and mass produced it for all those that wanted a pair. I missed out on all the 5s for retail.

I hope that everyone that really wants a pair is able to purchase them.
