I think I'm officially done with this.
I knew it would be hard to get this pack due to the limited numbers, limited stores around me getting them, and demand.
I was still able to get a pack this morning in a size 9.5, and even though they do fit(my size is 10/10.5) this was the final straw for me. I'm not going through anything crazy for any pair of shoes(especially if they don't fit perfect, my fault though) and that includes lines, camping, changing sleeping patterns to wait overnight online with a quick trigger finger, etc. it's not worth it to me anymore.
I'm happy I did get a pack, it made me decide my time has passed along with everything I did before I graduated from college. You guys enjoy, I hope everyone got/gets their pack for a reasonable price by the end of everything, and remember to buy only what you really want and like. Don't settle for anything.

Just hard to believe considering the only difference between the black varsity and infrared is the shade of red. Why would they was money on improving one and not the other. Im have to see indepth pics, you took some right?

Just so you know for people in Dallas, they still have some pairs at the Towneast Mall. I know they have size 8 and 8.5 for sure, but the other sizes I don't know. I would go ahead and call.

Well it was an interesting morning. After only about 3.5 hours of sleep, I decided to get up, and see if I could get my hands on a pack. I've said several times I was unsure whether I truly want these, or whether the nostalgia is getting the better of me. But I figured it's better to get a pack, and decide later, because once they're gone, that's it, where as if I DO have them, I can always get my money back out of them if I decide later that I don't want them.
So I get to the HOH in North Riverside IL at about 7:15 AM (store opens at 8 ). Several people waiting that I recognized from having gotten tickets the night before, but over all, I'm surprised at how few people were there. I had mentioned in my last post that the employee who was confirming the tickets last night said they still had 4 size 11s not spoken for, but refused to give me a ticket because I didn't get there by a certain time (sorry some of us have to work
). I was also told the Footlocker a few stores down was also getting 1 of each size, so I figured I'd have a much better chance at HOH. Well....I could see there were only 2 people hanging around Footlocker. They opened at 7:30. I patiently waited as I watched people walking over from Footlocker to HOH with several bags in their hands. I started itching to go over there, but I kept thinking, "NO! The minute you leave to go over there, the guy is going to come out and start forming lines, and you're going to be SOL". So I continued to wait. Well someone FINALLY comes out 5 minutes to, and says he needs everyone with tickets to form a line. The 4 or 5 of us who didn't have tickets just kinda hung around since we weren't told what to do. They started letting the ticket holders in........ONE PERSON AT A TIME, despite there being 4 employees. I figured this was going to take forever, so I took a quick trip over to the Footlocker. Now mind you, they have been open 30 minutes already at this point. I asked if they had any 11s left, and was told sorry, but the guy they just rung up got the last ones.
All they had was 8 and 8.5, though I was surprised there were any left at all. Oh, and apparently, they were allowing 2 per customer, and judging by the number of bags/people I saw leaving there during that half hour, there was a lot more than 1 pack per size.
Anyhow, so at this point I'm a bit irritated knowing I could have just waltzed in there half an hour ago, and gotten 2 packs. I go back over to HOH where someone FINALLY asks us what we're waiting on. Me and another guy mention we don't have tickets, and he says we have to wait in the back of the line if we don't have tickets. Thanks for mentioning that 10 minutes ago. Oh well, not a big deal. I was still first in line for those without tickets, and was confident I'd get my 11s since after all tickets were accounted for last night, there were still some available. It literally took 45 minutes with this painful, *******t "one person at a time" process. I could see absolutely no logical reason to this other than they wanted to promote the store with the line of people waiting as long as possible. It shot any chance I had at shooting down to the Footlocker in the Fox Valley Mall to try for another pack. At least I got my 11s (guy behind me got the last ones, so I don't know where the other 2 they supposedly had as of closing last night went), but I was not impressed by how HOH handled the whole thing at all. Even for the tickets, you had to show up to get them, then had to come back to confirm your name, ticket # and size you wanted. W T F?
I can see what that Will Rivera (I *think* that was his SN) was talking about when he mentioned something about HOH being pretty shady. But this also goes to show that these were fairly easy to get here if you even made the slightest effort, despite the limited quantities these stores got. I could have EASILY gotten another 2 packs at the Footlocker there, and possibly another one at the Footlocker in Fox Valley for a total of 4 packs (had I wanted that many) had they not done such a piss poor job this morning.

My Story.
Got to Champs on 42nd ST at around 5oclock. There were maybe like 10 ppl ahead of me.They had chairs and were just sitting down chilling. So I held my boys spot down, and he went to cop chairs at modells down the block. They had a sale 2 for $15 lol. So we were in line chilling to about 9oclock. Champs dude came out and started to take names down and give the tickets out. It was very organized. He told us to come back at 11:30 to purchase them at midnight. So we went to go eat and chill. Came back and the line was longer with new faces, but I wasnt worried cuz I had my ticket. Surely enough at midnight, dude came out and started to call tickets. I needed a sz smaller but still copped the 9. Then my boy was able to get a pair for me online so its all good.
Shouts to champs.

Memphis,
Where in the Cleveland area did you end up picking them up at? I didn't even bother taking the trip up to cleveland (I'm in Akron and nowhere around here got em) since I got them online last night.

I woke up at 6am was at our local mall by 6:40. To my surprise there was only 12 people there. They opened up the doors at 7:25ish and I was able to grab my size and one for a friend. This wasn't as bad as I thought. I lucked out on NDC last nite too. Ended up with 4 Packs. 2 for me and 2 for the homies. Sorry to all that didn't get to cop.

I have to agree...why buy a pack you cant wear and someone else can? To me it makes no sense unless your gonna be a reseller.
Anyways I got my pair 10.5 last night on NDC, because in the Boston area these packs just cant be found. Anyone around Boston cop a pair this morning? Where?

It makes sense to get them even if they are not your size on a limited release because you have the possibility of trading with someone else in the same situation.
