Thats just sad...Im glad you have enough sense to not get shoot over some shoes, but like you said not everyone is as sane as you

smh at dudes flashing burners...guess people dont realize theyre just a pair of shoes...is it really worth the possibility of jail time?

Heres my story, 

Copped a pair from NDC in the am.......................................

never got a confirmation code..............

so i woke up, went out to Lennox mall in ATL thinking "yea these are YELLOW foams, there is no way i will have problem with them" mind you, i was able to easily cop every foam from that mall before the galaxies.....

Today.....



And i got to the mall by 9 AM.....people in atlanta dont even wear foams 

I end up being 4 away from walking in and a 40 something year old man with his army of daughters ahead of me in the line bought 5 pairs 

The family walks out and loads them in the truck....and the dad is telling us these are going to go for 800 on ebay.....

By this time im pissed, but take it as an L and head home.....

I stopped by Parameter mall on my way back and ran across a sz 8 and 8.5 at Footlocker

back in the day i would have left them there, but alot of my recent releases ive had to trade to get my size from a reseller....so i copped both of them...



eeeeh......they are okay....i really want the reds...

You waited on eastbay to easily pass on these?

 

[toughmoney]

I can already see retail on foams next year being 250+. Got dudes paying $300+ on ebay with no problem. Hell who knows might even get a price bump before the year is over with the amount of foams dropping.

 

[witnesskb24]

My local spot got 15 pairs of these and only had about 8 people lines up. Copped 5 pairs, 1 for me and 4 for friends. Was pretty easy compared to other releases

I think I might go check out my mall and see what's going on. I was able to cop last night on ndc but never hurts to have a back up. These are prob gone my way though since they got dubbed warriors. I remember when the coppers came out I went to sheikh the next day and got my 11 with no problems same with egg plants. Not anymore.

 

[eastbayrep]

Grats to everyone that was able to get their pairs!

If you want us to check on the status of your order, just send us a private message with your customer/order number.  Otherwise, orders should process fine, as long as there are no issues with the payment method used on the order.

Yup, it is luck.  We have thousands, if not tens of thousands of people trying to order new release shoes from us everytime there is a launch.  Unfortunately, we do not have enough stock to supply everyone with the pairs they want, so most people leave empty handed.

You can also get lucky having a pair added to your cart.  Both our phone lines and our website are busy on launch nights.  This is how it goes every launch.

Our website did not crash last night.

. Got 18 Minutes on my eastbay virtual clock timer. 
Oh well. Got through on NDC and got to use 10% off code from cancelling my KD order. Hopefully these don't get cancelled. Got the next day. Ready to wear these to a warriors game.

Sorry to hear you got let go.  Our Call Center is cracking down on people calling in early to order the release shoes.  If you reach an agent before the release at 11 PM CT/Midnight ET, they will let you go and you will have to call in again.

@EastbayRep 1 minute though??? Ya'll need to get off that high. Ya'll waste 5 minutes asking stupid questions when ya'll finally answer the phone and sometimes I got to get rude and be like can u get on with my order.

 

[s dubl]

I just cant beleive that these have so much hype.... theyre not ugly, but def not hot enough to warrant the hype behind em. C'mon people, they're yellow foams

Foams. Thats all that needs to be said, sadly. I'm not sure I'll even keep my pair, I don't see myself rocking these. Oh well at least I got to help out those who wanted them

Wow. Just... wow.

There is a lot of just straight foolishness going on out there, I'm glad you know better than to mix it up for some shoes. That's just disgusting behavior, and I hope you get your pair sometime down the line. I can't fault you for being done with all this sneaker craziness, but these kinds of idiots can be anywhere and shouldn't cause you to abandon a hobby (or passion). Trust that they will eventually get what's coming to them if they continue dealing with life like that and be glad/proud with your own collection.
Anybody in Cali have a hard time getting these? I'm not around but am curious if they moved fast there.

 

[panaricanretro]

Did these things already sell out online? I was just looking out of curiousity and don't see them anwhere. Lol, I'm kinda disappointed in the sneaker community as a whole for scooping these up so quick. Message this sends to Nike is to just throw anything on a foam and we'll +!$#! out. If you really liked them that much then cool, but I really think most of these were copped for resell or because "I gotta get em if they're foams..."

That what I said. The ladies name was Kathy and she was real nice about it but I'm like 1 minute and I'm part of the platinum loyalty club. I really spent 40 bucks just to get turned away because I'm a minute early and then couldn't get through again until it was to late. I can see regular line but people pay 20 or 40 bucks to join the loyalty club to spen money with eastbay and to be told I'm sorry your a minute early better luck next time had me upset. Like I said though didn't burn to bad because I was able to get through with Nike but unlike 80% of nt I actually prefer shopping with eastbay compared to ndc.

Dude eastbay rep go jump off a bridge these literally sold out before 12am nike.com came thru for once but F**K eastbay real talk. stop lying the site might as well crashed last night i tried to order a pair as soon as it said add to cart and they were gone that doesnt make any sense what so ever same thing with this flight ones i was able to get them from elsewhere but you all let people sit on the phone before midnite and shoes just magically disappear om glad i know how to cop mines but eastbay has fallen off...all the way off they are still in some stores but dont sit here and say congrats you should be saying sorry on behalf of your whole company. why even put these on the net if they werent available on the net? you all are causing some of the problems in the shoe game now besides these dumb kids willing to spend they life savings on shoes if people just stop and think and not place such high value on shoes the demand will go lower and shoes will be more mass produced

1 min seems kind of crazy...if you are within 1 or 2 minutes, they should just let you stay on especially if you are Gold / Platinum members.

Haha. This can't be real. You going this hard on eastbay for what? Just like you said people need to stop and think and not place high value on shoes but you told a shoe store employee to jump off a bridge. It's kicks dude. You have to calm down. Eastbay rep even though I struck out last night and probably will on the next launch I commend you ray ryan and whoever else comes on. Try to give people info and 95% of posts back to you is bashing yet you guys continue to look out.

 

[160jordansdeep]

for some reason i think these are the most comfy foams i have

i got them on and there not as hard as other foams are
