I hate corruption. In any way, shape, or form. I was born and raised in Southern Cali, but I spent a good amount of time in the Philippines, where corruption runs deep in their politics, police, businesses...
One thing i noticed though is that the sneaker community in the Philippines is a really tight knit group. Helping each other out with releases, civil and organized camp-outs (they still do the 'write your name on a list, and then come back in order at release time), no fights, no dogging on people wearing fakes... oh and raffles, when done, are held and performed IN PERSON. They help each other out because we all share the same passion about sneakers, and that is something I miss from the golden age of sneakers: helping out others.
This is one of many reasons why I do what I do. If you've seen me in previous release threads, then you know what i'm referring to.
However, I've been receiving some DM hate on posting things on public forum. That lurkers, or inactive members, will benefit with the information found on here. Well, I can guarantee you that NT is not the only place on the INTERNET where such information can be found. If lurkers want to use our information, then good for them because they will have a shot in winning a pair of sneakers for themselves. If people from out of state enter and win, good for them too because the people who take the time and wait for unclaimed pairs will have a chance to buy at 1pm.
The whole point is to HELP OTHERS. If my actions in trying to help others is making it harder for someone else, then I apologize in advance because that is not my intention. The people who are hating on those who are trying to help others should flip their role and try contributing and lending out a helping hand once in a while. Shoe karma is a strong force.
I'm sorry for the long post. I'm heading out for church now to give thanks for my blessings.
Be back later with the list.
RANT OVER.
