I've been lucky so far i have only had to camp one time, wc ivs and when i was in line i was able to score another pair for me and my buddy on the phone. so were lined up all night knowing that we had another pair on lock. I would say that its only worth it if that is the only way that you can guarantee to get your shoe. I would rather stand in line for 8hrs than pay those crazy resale prices even though my $ per hour margin tells me that it is not worth it. there is just something to be said about earning your shoe at retail or below.

It ain't that serious.

 

[terx]

Well now days you literally have to camp for every dam release if you want a pair

Longest I've camped was for the All Star Pack.
That was 16hrs. I work M-TH so thursday night and friday I am able to camp or whatever.
Downfall with that time was they "shipped the shoes back" so none of the ASG pack actually released.
It's different for everyone. I met some cool sneakerheads that I camp w/frequently with now.
I love doing it. I hate when it's chaotic and a mad dash for the door or when large groups come at a time..

 

[lifestooshort80]

stressful and tiring. i dont know how people can camp out for a week. and its annoying to see peole by multiple pairs to resell and you cant get your own.smh.

Last time I camped was a joke, It was the WC IVs. Me and a buddy went 3 hours before to this new spot just to make sure we got a pair since NDC was terrible. It was 20 degrees out and we were the only 2 people there until 10 minutes before the store opened and even then there was only 5 of us....needless to say we all got our pairs but I wasted 3 hours smh

What defines camping tho? I mean is lining up 3-4 hours considered camping? I've never waited more than 3 hours before a store opened to get shoes. Sleeping at the spot seems crazy to me.

I wouldn't call that camping.
What I think of when camping, is like lining up for shoe 6+ hours or more.

Think getting to the spot at midnight if its an 7am-8am release, or about 6 or earlier, if its a midnight release.

I don't camp out. It's just silly. I have better things to do with my time than sit out in the cold.

 

[nikerider]

It will be eliminated in more and more places. The malls are cracking down on this. Too many people pissing in public, throwing trash on ground, breaking doors & windows, being disrespectful.
The more this happens the less camping will be allowed.

 

[akwong3845]

Camping is too much. The most Ill do is wake up early and go cop

 

[sako21057]

If you arrive at the store 3 hours before it opens and form your own line, does that count as camping?

 

[kingzel]

camping is for the hypebeasts

 

[spookz312]

^^^plus the snobby #%% tricks in the line they kill me with there whining and false information im good ill drop coin if i have to or if i dont cop i dont cop i rather hunt down og's anyways

why wouldn't you just get a pair online for a higher price?

 

[buymejordans]

I think camping is always fun and leaves a great memory when wearing the shoe. It def gives me a sentimental value when ever i look at shoes I waited for in the cold!

 

[randell]

Will camp out if for grails.

This if it's orderly and especially when everyone gets their pairs
