I really wanted these, but I refuse to be standing in line in the blistering cold to not be guaranteed the shoe, or online buying for these ***** up my whole day when the system freezes and I'm unable to get the pair. Then it's too late to go to the store and buy the pair. I respect everyone has a hustle, but this reselling business has really ****** up my collection. I have been an avid true sneaker collector since '97 and I really wanted these and to pay the retail price. I buy and collect Jordans to relive the memories of when I was a kid and watched Michael Jordan wearing the shoe. Even a Finish Line manager tried to sell me a pair today for $240 before the release, so I know how rigged the game is. SMH! I don't mean to vent, but the Black Infrared 6's I really wanted to add to my collection.

Thank God my boy works at Champs, because I didn't see them this morning when I got my ticket from HoH. Still not too confident about getting my size since it's a very annoying size. Thank God my foot is funny, so I can size up and down.

the resellers are the lifeblood of nike right now because they know if a shoe could flop the resellers will still buy em up with there bots making it harder for people who actually want the shoe making the demand higher in general. if nike wanted too they could end the resellers game right away by making everything general release and 1 per customer with strict regulations on the releases but they let managers and employees do sus **** cause in the end it all drives up demand.

I prefer the chaos of the first come first serve technique. Not this raffle (pick my friends) business they are doing now. I got the Air Jordan Concords in the blistering cold by sheer running and managing to jump over the people who unfortunately fell from the ice and water of the snow by trying to get to the stores before everyone else when the mall opened. I use to love that rush and the sheer satisfaction of walking out knowing you earned your prized shoe that you always wanted. This raffle sh*t and online business are all set-ups to me and make the valued customer like myself frustrated. And I refuse to give money to re-sellers who purposely bought the shoe to sell back to me at the double the retail price because the logic in that, for me the consumer, is just foolish.

Go to a local HoH and get a guaranteed ticket, then. Basically the equivalent of a FCFS lineup.

Nah bro that rush that you speak of is not the best way for JB to be represented when someone close to you or family member gets hurt while going through the "chaos" your mentality will change.

Prefer to stampede people instead of a guaranteed ticket or pay resell?

The 2010 ones don't even count. Nike Air, durabuck and the more leather looking heel counter would've been great additions, but these might be as good as it gets.

One can get the same feeling putting in work with raffles and winning in terms of the satisfaction aspect, but without the risk that comes with lining up/camping on RD. Copping online as well. Definitely a first hearing someone who prefers the chaos of FCFS on RD. Just be careful out there man.

I guess so. I will try and do the pick-up window and get them that way. Maybe someone will oversleep and forget to get their kicks and I manage to get a pair. I am from Brooklyn, NY and go to school in College Park, MD (DC area) so these areas are sneakerhead central if you can imagine. Not like I live in the Midwest where I'm sure sneakers are not that hard to get. I am just a creature of habit and I managed to get all my sneakers through the first come first serve process. I was crafty, never wait in line wait on the side and wait for them to open the doors and then rush in the front when the doors opened and people crowded, it worked every time for me.
