I can't help but laugh but I really feel bad for that guy. It's unfortunate that you have to push and shove to get some monochromes and some people push you out of the way end up getting what you want and were entitled to since he was first.

I bet he didn't say much but left feeling defeated after that huh? But seriously how they gonna say "we have 2 pairs then say sold out".

That story really reminds me of the raffle at BBC for the black yeezy 750s; the people who came just as the raffle was about to begin were horrible and I'm sure if they didn't shut the raffle down so many people would have been pushed out of their spots that it would get out of hand. I hated that day and it really shows you have to be at least a little bit as bad as the people who act up to get what you want when they do, which really isn't worth it.

Anyways were the monochromes at least primeknit lol?

I want more stories as the collabs drop and the best story for the end of the year collab :tongue:!

yes it was PK and yea for certain lines you gotta have some guts or you'll get pushed around,as it happened to him. Next to nobody would be stupid enough to pull that stunt on me for example. If you let people skip you that's on you, but how you go from being first to not getting anything is beyond my understanding :smh:

So basically if you are #1 in line in a shoe release and you are not the Next Ultimate Fighter, prepare for the L.

Shame people have to be on full on War mode to obtain shoes they fairly waited in line for.
 
With the way sneaker lines go, not worth fighting back bc you don't know which dude is strapped or got a shiv with him. Part of the reason why I don't and won't ever camp. Plus I'm too old for that mess.

ok so here's one of the stories I promised ya'll:

so a shop is dropping monochromes Saturday fcfs. the night before I call a guy I know whos in the area and wants the kicks, I ask him to check the store to see if anyones there. he goes and calls me, says no one is there so I tell him aight, ima grab two chairs and head over there, youre #1 and im second. I get there and shortly after a next dude comes and asks if its just us two. I tell him yes and we proceed to camp all night, im sleeping in my buddies whip. Morning comes and store opens at 12, so around 7 some guy with a list comes along and says its three people ahead, and im like hell no it aint. Dude tries to finagle that and i don't budge, but the #1 guy starts talking to others in line like its cool or whatever. so 11 comes, the store opens at 12 and the line starts getting a little crowded and dudes are bunched up. Mostly everyone knows each other so It aint serious until the manager comes out and shouts only 10 pair in there. Everyone starts wylin out and pushing or whatever and some cat in line proceeds to grab #1 by the shoulders, pull him around behind him and throw his *** off the line, word to debo. Im standing there wondering what the **** just happened and I get a little crazy and start pulling on the door and get up in that store. everyone is in the store and employees say everyone gotta get out or else they wont sell nothing, so eventually everyone backs up a little and in a few minutes they proceed to sell the shoes. so while im in there buying my kicks my boys who just came through tell me this guy who was #1 is complaining about being thrown off the line outside the store while everyone else is trying to buy kicks. One of my homies tells his *** to get up in that line to get his kicks since hes been there since the day before so he goes in line and finally gets in. they tell him they got two more pairs and take him to the register, only to tell him sold out. So that's how you go from #1 to 0 in line.

Got a ton more stories but ill save those for another time. might have to polish this story up and put more details and make it a newspaper article

Not really, if you do lines often enough you'll know the majority of the people there. He just wasn't ready and got herbed.

While true, all it takes is one dude you don't know to be a wild card and that can be it

Can't concern yourself with what ifs. As far as I know cats may think of me as that wild card, I ain't thinking the other way around. When I'm fighting I'm thinking I can kill the other dude. If I think he can beat me then I already lost

Yea I feel you if being #1 in line was going to result in the same result as being last why even bother.

If you're #1 you gotta hold it down or have someone to hold it down for you :wink:.

Seems like you already know most people who go to these raffles so if anyone does anything; you got people to back you up which is something really good to have.

I need to get me that kind of status

Anyways I look forward to another story as the highsnobiety drops please

forget other people lol, if I allowed someone to treat me like that I wouldnt even expect others to stick up for me. If you can't stick up for how can you expect others to do it for you? But yea I'll try to post up another story soon :lol:
