First time actually "camping/lining" up at Southcenter HOH.

Woke up at 3:30 AM to a frozen windshield which I had to drop by the gas station to pour warm water to get it off. 

Then headed to Southcenter HOH, got there around 4:20 AM with about 20+ cats.. 

Chopped it up with most people, security dudes opened the "mall door" around 6:00 AM..

Lots of people pushing & shoving for the " 5 at a time single file walk to stand in another line for the HOH to open.. "

With an extra hour to spare, just spoke to everyone around and met more cool heads.. 

Did a head count (pause.) and my spot was counted for #32 with the rumor of 50 pairs I pretty happy. 

But when they opened the doors they said that they only had about 35 or so pairs of III's. 

Then tons of others started to get worried.

Ended up getting the very last Sz. 8 (Perfect Size) the only sizes after me were a Sz. 14 (Which still sold.)





Then, when I was walking out I met some 14Yr old with his mother and was looking for the size I got.

Being in his position at age 14 just learning about the shoe trade, I felt the urge to work a deal with him. 

To my surprise he ended up offering me a pair of Worn 2x BIN VII's + Worn 2x Oreo VI's + $40. 

I took it right on the spot. 

Ended up meeting up later on the day and came home a happy camper. 

Air Jordan BIN VII (+ Air Jordan Oreo VI 

( Ended up finding those 06 Penny IV's for $40 at N.Rack )

Exactly.  I didn't even try to copp.  Sure some pics that are glammed up make them look nice (like airbrushed chicks in mags), but you know that shoe is going to be ashy black in a few months just like the Black Cat IIIs.
Some people buy/sell anything that's limited.  If these were a GR, they'd get no play.

Well he thought it was a fair trade since he payed retail for the BIN VII's, $70 for the Oreo VI's..

Not to mention, some other guy outside the store offered me $350 in cash for the BHM III's..

That kid's happiness is probably all worth it. To him. If I were 14 and REALLY wanted a shoe, I'd trade whatever the hell I had laying around to get 'em.

Great concept, horrible execution.

Me and my boy got to our spot at 8:30 am. The store only had 9 pairs.

They opened at 9:30. There was about 15 people in line. Mostly wanting both Playoffs and BHM 3's.

They said they weren't limiting to one per customer so we each bought two pairs.

After we purchased we heard them say only 9.5 and 10.5 were left, meaning employees got the rest.


Money well spent....

So will we ever see JB drop the retro 4+ blue speckle that was supposed to be after 25 years of waiting?
