I was skeptical of the story at first too. But the Instagram picture of the shoes that were sold seals the deal. The shop is totally in the wrong. Really no arguing it.
I still don't get how the headstart thing works on the launch reservations. When the timer on the apps hit 0, do we need to hit something to reserve? Or do we get notified if we won or not?

If you don't have an Android device, you should pick a cheap one up for future releases. FTA, FTL, and Champs App are starting to use reservation systems soon that also ask for your GPS location.
