so we left and headed to the Bronx (fordham road to be exact) to Jimmy Jazz...we headed there b/c we got word that the manager was not allowing line ups...we go in and talk to him and he confirmed no line ups, so we are like thats whats up...we go to his crib, get a few hours of sleep and go back the next day...like 30 hours before release time...we planned to just chill in the area keeping eyes on the store and as soon as someone started to line up, we would be on it...so we get there and there is like 13 ppl in line! im like *%$!, but there was only 15 in line, so we are good (or at least thats what we are thinkin)...after a few hours of waiting we get word from the manager that he is only going to sell 10 pairs!!!! Couldn't believe that BS...so we gave it a lil while longer, but ended up leaving b/c my man said that jimmy jazz is know for being grimey like that...so we had one more hope...Moe's out in QB

We get there and the line is full! we chop it up w/ a couple of the dudes in line for a minute and he said Moe's said they were selling less than 23 pairs and were charging like $460 per pair! crazy...so at this point NY is on lock and I'm mad, b/c there was no way for me to cop in NY after driving from VA...go back to my man's crib and told him that my last shot was the raffle in MD...told him i was going and he agreed...we bounced around 1 am and headed to MD (he brought his lady and 2 of his homeboys to increase our chances)...we get there, sleep in the whips for bout an hour and go inside the mall...by the time the raffle went down there was at least 200 ppl there...so chances were slim...got our tickets, im number 427...

so they start the raffle, by about the eight number called, they say 4....2.........4...im like nooooooooooooooooo, so close...anyway like the 10th or 11th number was 427!!!! i cant explain how i felt when they called my number, it was insane!!! so im up there lined up behind the ppl who already had their number called, and im hoping my man gets his number called too...there is like 2 or 3 left and they didnt call my dude's number, but they called his homie's number! so we both got our pairs and in our sizes...9.5 and 8.5!! it was unbelievable...guess God was with us on that one, being as much work and travelin i put in...

oh and for those that were at the annapolis DTLR raffle, i was the dude w/ the white/black siberian c'monwealth fitted and thrashin sb's on...my boy's homie was the cat w/ the red verizon jacket on and the burgundy Brooklyn fitted...

Big up to all the cool dudes we met from NY in the 34th street footlocker line...got my pair homies!!!!

and to Respinda: thanks man...thruout that 4 day span, i may have gotten like 10 hours of sleep max...it was crazy, i came so close multiple times just to getshut down, but all the work/traveling ended up paying off...and man that sucks for homie who camped that long and came up empty handed...and i agree theexperience of all that is crazy...i will never forget that weekend...call me crazy if you like...but it was nuts

If your telling the truth, you are one of the very few who think like that these days.

Did you end up not being able to get these?
 
yeah, i got my pairs.
If I would have known the quality was going 2 be so low, I would have copped a 9.5, and a 10.5,
rather than my short short man sizes
 
I had the shoes in my cart on FC and I went to check-out immediately. My order was processed and the money was debited from my account. I was pretty excitedbecause I was not able to get them from Sheikh in SF due to misinformation. I call nike right after I placed my order and they said everything was fine and ifmy order went through, I got them. I called them back this morning, and they told me that upon second glance, it looks like the shoes were removed from my cartas I was checking out and I did not actually get them. They arent sure why I was billed for the shoes or why my order even went through. They said that thishas happened to a few other people. Basically I paid $294 dollars for a $30 flight club T-shirt. I am just glad this whole ordeal is over even though I was notable to get a pair.

Man. It was nice to see the resellers out in full force at Millennium Shoes in L.A. It was even cooler to see all those suckers taking pictures in the parkinglot and putting them on Craigslist 2 min. after they bought them. Oh and when did all the gangster chicks get into reselling?! These releases were super lameand I hope JB can think of a better way to release their shoes.

damn bro....that hurts me just seeing that
 
^^^ sad to hear a story like that.. but I'm sure there are many others like it too. This is the last time I'm doing NDC that's for sure.. it'sactual lineups for me from now on (I just hope they actually bring the shoes to Canada next time).
 
^^ Hey Sneakgeekz.. yeah I saw your video before too... I think it's pretty sad that people who waited for more than 6 days didn't even get the shoewhile a bunch of haters decided to bum rush the line.. but I guess that's what people are willing to do when its $1500+ on the line..
smh.gif


What's funny in that Jimmy Jazz video is that there isn't even a lineup there.. just an angry mob of people fighting to get shoes.. and the worst partis I bet there was an organized lineup before things got outta control.. pretty sad how greed turns ordinary people into monsters.

BTW I just wanted to say that yer videos are awesome.. you've always got the inside scoop for all upcoming releases.. props to you and much respect for allthe great info!

Uh.. if you hadn't followed up on here before, there was NO international release on these. I'm up here in Canada, and I had to change mycredit card address to that of a US address and confirm a US shipping address just to get an order via Flight Club.. and of course it doesn't work for meanyways.. but I had to try regardless.

It's a damned shame that they chose to keep these limited to the US.. oh well, hopefully the next hypebeast-uber-limited pair of shoes will beinternational. I'd like to see a Canadian-exclusive for once
