Just watched this vid on youtube for the Haven release last week in Vancouver. Pretty cool to see Haven actually review their security footage and kick out the vast majority of morning line cutters/jumpers. I know this ain't how it goes down in most FCFS releases (especially in NYC) but it's cool to see the store do something. Even if their online release was a joke!
On another note the Haven's are growing on me but I ain't copping at resale. The fact that people are paying prices near the 1.0 Triple Black is astonishing since those are far superior imo. Guess that limited stock + collab hype is doing its job.
That in Toronto. They kicked out some people, but not all 30+ people that cut in line.
That's why you need to speak up. Someone local posted he was able to force his way into the store and the manager let him and 4 other people come inside to get a pair. But even then, they were offered a Size 8.5 and a 11 as the resellers got all the pairs.
To the user that said livestock you're correct.
Someone wanted to toss the chairs but was talked out of it. I suggested that we moved ahead of the empty chairs, what would they do fight us all? Surprisingly, not many people wanted to take action. I wasn't there earlier when the resellers confronted people that stood in line first since the chairs were empty; but based on that confrontation it didn't seem like these were rational people.
We showed the manager photos of the empty chairs, and a girl explained the scenario how her boyfriend had been waiting since 5AM and no-one was around. The manager kept saying that it's out of her hands and there's nothing she could do. "It was a surprise drop, I don't even know how all these people found out" lmao yeah right.
Yesterday was a busy Saturday with nice weather. What were these resellers going to do? Beat you guys up if you spoke up? I'm not saying go get beat up over a pair of shoes, but these "resellers" were a bunch of kids. Most people lining up in Toronto seem to be Asian and not physically big, but even those kids pose no threat if you spoke up.
This was one of the line cutters, this guy poses zero physical threat.
