The non-desired colorways are try-on in store. Nobody was trying on the "Gone Fishing" foams in store.

on release date? at an actual retailer? NO.
i cant even remember the last time i was able to buy a sneaker on release date and try it on.
most stores are go in a few at a time, ask for your size, pay, then walk out. atleast here in NY.
unless youre talking MOM & POP no vasaline type stores.

When is the last time y'all asked? Times have definitely changed again. I know I've been asked a few times do I need to try on the shoes but I know my size so I decline.
GamerG is always dramatic and feels the need to be extra all of the time for some reason.

last time i asked was when the Orange foams dropped. flat out told me no. that was at Footlocker.
things arent the same across the board at all locations. same way raffle procedures vary by store.
Jimmy Jazz and Hyper Active also dont let you try on in the store, my little sister got her lowtop orange 11s and blue foams from there.

If its a shoe I haven't worn before if you don't let me try it on I aint buying. Fortunately I have been wearing a solid size 12 for almost 15 years.

yea i hate it because sometimes the shoes are cut differently.
like my Stealth foams were bought the same size as my previous foams but they were kinda tight. ended up selling them a few months after.

The whole no try on policy kinda stems from when we used to have those releases where people would form long lines to get the shoes. It just was hard to get everyone in and out in a timely fashion if everyone wanted to try on shoes and it's like 100 pairs being sold.
That's behind us for the most part and any store that will tell you no... You should seriously consider going somewhere else.
Yes, the are exceptions, so it's no need to toss out limited sneakers as examples. Foams haven't been selling out immediately in-store except for a couple of colors so you should be able to try them on.

As far as I know... The obdisians, golds, reds, Gucci are solid colors too so you can toss the printed foam stuff out the window. Open your eyes man. Foams ain't killing it like they were and they do take longer to sell out now. You should be able to try on foams.
I know exactly what you mean and we definitely got some dope non print foams this year.

You don't think they're gonna make the holos in such large quantities they sit like the meteors did a few black Fridays ago? I could imagine the production run on these being huge, then again I can't compare it to much recently, the last foams I copped were the yeezy's, haven't been real happy with the colorblocking of all these over the top retro plus treatments.

Holos probably don't sit online. You might be able to get them in store for a few days

truth. people who bought em later on did so to acetone them. they look super clean after acetoning with the colors of the sole popping imo. weathermans and thermals/tampons were also colorways that nobody wanted but looked really nice after acetoning.

Been a good minute since I've been here. But doesn't seem like I've missed much.
Last pair I bought was the red pros. Looking for both guccis, grey and green suedes, but not retail haha
