Why does everyone rely so much on ndc even though the new system suposedly sucks when there's other sites? Just wondering.

NDC is usually first choice because its always free shipping and you get your kicks one day sooner than FTL, EB, etc...

Bence- I tend to agree w/ that sentiment but there's more of an itch for these for me as the days pass- has happened to me with a lot of shoes lately... when they first came out in the early 90s I didn't really like the 8s bc i felt like there was too much going on... but these, the bugs, and the aquas have always been on the "if I can get them for retail, I will" portion of my want list, plus i'm not really feeling a lot of these new color combos save the red 4s coming in Q3-4 of this year.

Hope these sit like Bugs Bunnys. Will try on NDC, but hoping I can get a pair for retail, or if not, close to retail on eBay.

Nike LA just announced these will be FCFS. Expect the campers to be lining up any second now.

For people in New England area, I stopped in Nike Boston today and they said they hadn't made an official announcement but they were pretty sure they were going to be FCFS... but they also don't allow camping or lining up at this location, so i'm not really sure how it will work out.

Probably because of the marathon bombing, a few months ago that was allowed
These will be available everywhere

Now I'm just waiting on calls back.signdup for raffles at five spots two of which I know get tons of pairs. Got one size 10 and a half on lock but it might be a little too narrow for my foot

like every other black/red retro Jordan, these won't "sit" for long once ppl find out about them

Highly doubt it. You might be able to get them on ebay or craigslist for close to $200 after the release date. But based on the info I gathered, all the stores expect them to be gone Sat morning. Modells has already given out all their pairs. Did you enter any raffles?

VIII's have always been one of my favorite Jordans. Air Raids were one of my fav Nikes so when the VIIIs dropped it was a given for me. I wish the Playoffs were as far off the radar for most "Jordan-Heads" as the other VIIIs were but it seems like the hype train has finally caught up with the VIIIs... at least around my way.
BTW, the Fire Red "Toro" IVs release in two weeks. 7/13/13.
I see you're in NY. Trust me, these will be nothing like the Suns or Bugs VIIIs. The hype train is rolling already and the RSVP lists for these that I've seen locally are longer than anything I've seen for JB's lately except for Black Grapes. The Royal/Grey Foams releasing the same day doesn't help in-store because everybody going to RSVP for the foams is RSVP'ing for the VIIIs too, for the hell of it while they're there. From what I've seen over the last couple of days hitting up RSVP spots, interest in these is somewhere near White Grapes level in NY/NJ. I don't expect them to sit at all. Bright side is, being a GR, there's plenty of pairs out there so I wouldn't expect resell to be more than $220-$230 if you do miss.
Good luck tho. I hit 7 spots and put three raffles in at each. I feel like with that I have a 50/50 chance. If I strike out I'll be at my usual FCFS spot 1 a.m. Friday night/Monday morn. Gotta lock my pairs down.

I found that out when the VIIIs retroed in '07 but it made sense immediately. There are very few colorways of either that aren't an auto-cop for me. I love the straps and the way Tinker incorporated them into the silhouettes.
