Wow way to blow up a thread..
Firstly, I'm not the guy on eBay selling kicks. Never been a reseller.
2 - I was the first to post pics of the Aus Open editions and as people can see, every damn sneaker blog/website , Instagram/facebook account used my pics.
3rd - I offered NTers the chance to get the shoe for them. I'm not in the game for resell. It was purely to cover my costs (retail, shipping & PayPal fees) . Reason being, I'm in it to help others, who one day might be able to return the favor. It's Karma, doing something good and it should return. Being from Australia, access to sneakers isn't so great as it is for those in the USA, by helping NTers, I've now created contacts who in future will try and help me.
4. As soon as I put those pics up, I had endless PMs from people asking me to get them pairs. Unfortunately, I don't have an endless bank account and could only help out a few. First in best dressed.
5. Stupid part on my behalf, I never tagged my pics. Lesson learnt! I had everyone keep asking me for detailed pics of the shoes so I would take the pics and send away, not thinking of what could be used of them. As seen on the sneaker blogs / instagram / ebay! who some referenced me and NT, and some none at all.
It's not everyday someone from Australia has the first pics and it blows up out of control , more than I could of ever imagined.
I wish I could of helped more people out to build contacts and help with shoes, but it wasn't the case.
To those who managed to get a pair from me, other guys from Aus or the various websites that now have them, lucky us. To those who haven't, good luck in your quest to find a pair. In the end they're only shoes, and we will all move onto the next one.
