After striking out on all the Shiekh raffles, JJ's, Euro spots and NDC/FNL/FTL online fiasco. I was complaining to my wife how I haven't copped a Jordan from Santa Anita since I had a hook up at World Foot Locker, she got a call this morning from Footaction and she won the raffle there! Scooped my pair now the wife is holding them ransom until I take her to Lawry's for dinner tonight. View media item 714805

View media item 714803Picked mine up from sheikh this morning, again, props to whoever post the Bay Area raffle codes, if not, I got zero chance to cop these. Thought there's gonna be ppl around, but no, nobody, just me and the cashier in the store. In and out the store in 5mins, real easy. Hope my other pre order pair comes thru.

I went around 11 and got my pair. Picked up another pair of Gammas for a friend too, since they restocked at one of the stores.

Sorry for the long *** post but I know this needed to be shared #noBlog
So I was beyond salty in this thread all week. Simply put.
If some of y'all remember I guess 400 pages ago, I had to decide btwn staying in buffalo and trying villa where im in school.... missing Xmas at home for the first time in life... and having my moms never forgive me for that (Haitian btw).... or go home with no idea what to expect since I haven't lined up for a shoe since the Carmine's (which was a cakewalk compared to this mess).
I chose to go home since I was homesick. Learned some stores were doing raffles.
Id have more raffle tickets but some stores gave them out days earlier before they said they would. I didn't know when they would call but assumed it was Friday night around closing. No phone call.
Heart sank.
Stayed up for jimmy jazz. Had the link and probably every advantage possible. Never saw any sizes go up.
Heart sank.
Was gonna go to sleep but @Bee GoT GaMe 23 and @NAPONAPO passively convinced me to try the 3 am releases on the international sites. Ended up being even worse than JJ.
Heart sank.
Went to bed and got up early bc I couldn't sleep. Set everything up for every site. NDC. FTL. FA. Eastbay. Everything. Couldn't even get anything in a single damn cart.
Heart...
PLUMMETED.
Told my other homie after a good 40 mins of clicking and refreshing that I was done. I no longer cared and would rather grossly overpay from a reseller. I put my head down in my pillow to sleep off the whole Saturday
It was over.
5 mins later, an unknown number calls. I picked up after 2 rings. Lady asked if this was Eric. I said yea.
She told me I won the raffle for the blk/red 1s. I swore it was a dream and just said 'oh yeah?'
She cheered for me asked me what sized I wanted (actually got my size 9 x_x) and told me I had until 930 to scoop. Looked at the time and it was like 10 so I had to make sure she meant pm
Took a shower. Cried to @NAPONAPO @Bee GoT GaMe 23 and my homie. Shaking and stuttering the whole time I ended up at my FTL. Told em my name and gave them my ID. Powerwalked pass the goons outside FA looking for a come up
Honestly this has been the best/worst week ever. Best bc I got to see the Yeezus Tour Sunday, be home for xmas, and miraculously got the blk/red 1s. Worst bc I had to drive 12 hrs with traffic to get home, run around all day for those stupid *** raffle tickets, and bail on all my close friends doing reunions last night and today for the end of the year.
Honestly x2, this isnt worth the stress anymore. I got extremely lucky with this release bc I've never won any sort of raffle in my entire life. But jumping through these hoops and gizmos isnt for me. I learned that with this release. I was ready to succumb to a reseller for these. And in the future for anything as hyped as this that I truly want....I will do it no question.
Honestly x3 im just glad I dont have to maneuver though this thread anymore through yall stupid pizza party post.

These are way more available than the Royals were. I remember there was like 2 posts on craigslist for my size 11. Looking on craigslist now, there's a bunch of bred 1's and they're all in the $350 range. Royals were like $450 to over $500.
