this is just nuts. it was so tame there last week when we were waiting for the SOMPs. maybe it is the jordan aspect of this (and the tiffs had jordan like hype), or maybe it is just NYC these days. certainly for the rest of the JBXSB collabs we aren't gonna wait outside - raffle/online or bust.
So.. that was an experience..
Went to my local after I struck out online. I showed up maybe at 8:30 place was opening at 11:30. I show up and there's only 3 people there but a couple of ghost chairs. Some dude tells me I'm 11th in line.. um... okay... couple hours go by and the line gets longer. Then just before the place opens, guys who clearly just cooked at Supreme, Blades, HoH, etc. etc. show up and cut the line saying they been camped out since 5am.. wtf is that *****. Just as they open people start pushing and shoving. I heard people at Mercer and Flight23 got pepper sprayed sht!t was getting so rowdy. Seriously people are animals. One dude even goes so far as to climb the rail and jump over everybody screaming "I'M A FK'N OG, YA'LL DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME." Ended up there were only 9 pairs anyway but damn - I'm never lining up for any sneakers ever again. Thirst is crazy out there. I'm just trying to buy a pair of shoes. Dudes be looking at it like they're trying to money up. They're hungrier than me so it is what it is I guess. End of the day I got a real job lol. I make enough where I should just pay resell and put it to rest.
i completely agree. SOMP>>>AJ1/SB for sure. i was in DQM yesterday (wearing the SOMPs) to ask about info for the AJ1/SB release. i took the opportunity to check out all their other dunks and felt the nubuck on many other shoes. comparing it to the nubuck on the SOMPs there is a tremendous difference - it is smoother and much softer.
SOMPs - can't get enough of them. So silky smooth.
