You guys are idiots. It's company policy. They are NOT ALLOWED to disclose that information. Even letting people see the shoe early could lose the store's Nike account if Nike finds out. The shoe is straight-up not allowed to leave the stockroom until the 21st. If we tell one person our store got 20 pairs, that person's gonna get an advantage and come in earlier because some people don't know that.was thinking this was probably the case
Yea thats incorrect. Worked for Finishline for a very long time. A Single pair can be put on display, although you can disclose how many you get in stock, your discouraged from doing so.

^The single pair gets put on display on release date. Before that, they are hidden in the stockroom away from the public.
As for disclosing how many pairs the stores get, my manager does not allow it. If we get people asking, he has us either be vague about it or just not say anything.

That's how it is at most stores in my area, I try to ask a non-direct question though. "What time would you be there based off numbers that you got in your shipment?" "Is this a _________(insert recent release depending on amount of people/shoes to go around). Usually I get some solid info, but then there's other times when they just stick to "We open at 9 man"

Actually I've been in several FNL where they will have them display at the counter in that glass case a week or two prior to the release date.
I think stores or regions based on the manager might have different rules and you guys are arguing about something similar.

To clear it up we (finishline) are not allowed to discuss #'s or show the shoe. Just like OP said Nike finds out then corporate gets emails then its all bad from there.

The Finishline I go to always lets me check out the pairs before release day, they always tell me how many pairs of my size they have too, never asked about other sizes. Footlocker does the same. Get to know the employees and treat them like human beings and they will do the same to you.

I'd have to agree with you.
I have nothing bad to say about these pics.
They actually look "puffy" and not flat.
Count me in for a pair.

IT'S FUNNY HOW THE STORE EMPLOYEES ARE WARRIORS FOR THE RULES WHEN IT'S IN THEIR FAVOR. THEY BREAK THE RULES FOR THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME.
