I don't know... maybe the fact that LOTS of us have scored through restocks in the past six months... year, even longer. They sold WAY more of these than they did the Chicago 1's, and even those restocked on NDC (as did the BRed XIII and BRed XI... twice). Pretty much every shoe since the Last Shots have restocked on NDC, FNL, Eastbay or Foot Action (as well as HOH in-store). Doesn't mean you'll be one of the people who hits on the restock, but your chances are probably better than on release day with everyone gunning for them. I walked into a HOH on a Sunday morning with no line and picked up the BRed XIII a month after they released. Wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened on this release.
I think "people just say that bs" because... uhh, it's true. I'd much rather roll the dice on a restock than pay $250-$300 for a GR that will either restock or be down to about $15-$25 over retail on the secondary market come the summer.
For as much time as people spend on this forum, they don't seem to realize how all of this works. Then again, your average sneakerhead is often a grade A idiot.
Hmmm...I never said there are not restocks. Nor did I say that people do not get Js on restocks.
I simply said " what makes people think they will be able to get these on a restock?" And you said it yourself, "I'd much rather roll the dice on a restock ", meaning, getting the 13s or any other shoe on a restock, is a dice roll, which is my point exactly.
Now, Im 42 years old and willing to bet I have more time collecting shoes than you have time on earth. So Im going to believe I have a better grasp on "how all this works" than you. Whether Im an "average sneakerhead" or not, between you and me, you sound like the grade A idiot. Maybe you need to put in some more time on this forum??
