I don't ever get out down there near Richmond...
So I'm assuming you could take the Grand Parkway and hit up all 3 outlets in Houston (Cypress, Katy and Richmond).... lol

Dang I didn't know that many major cities didn't have a nike town yet they pop up a city gear or another crooked store every 5 min.
you would think nike would make more of their own retail stores and cut the middle man.
Though it's the middle man that buys most of nike stuff and nike has to take into account that jordan and lifestyle shoes can't be the only draw to the store.
So on both sides I see why nike doesn't make more stores.
Nike Lenox used to do only running they weren't making much off that . Went only basketball same weren't making much.
In the end seems Atlanta got the flagship southeast store and combined running and basketball along with life style. And that seemed to work well.

We have 4. Conroe, Cypress, Katy Mills and I work at the one in Texas City.
god dammit yall need to stop calling every store a NikeTown. A NikeTown is like 3 stories high, I think there's only 2 in the country (NY and LA) everything else is just a Nike store or outlet.

Not gonna lie, this release has been very good to me despite the madness leading up to and after it. Particularly in this thread 
. As I said before these have some sentimental value for me and I'm glad to have these back in my collection after all these years. Cooked on 4 pairs total. Won 2 raffles and paid $60 over retail on each of the other 2 off the connect. This release took the phrase "it's not what you know, it's who you know" to a new level. I'm grateful. God bless the plug [emoji]128591[/emoji].

Miami doesn't have a Niketown either smh. We had one but it closed couple of years ago. Not sure if it's a coincidence but we didn't have any HoH in this area until after that Niketown closed.

Thing is it doesn't matter if it's Niketown or any other chain or botique. From the biggest to the smallest spots in Houston or any other city, there's always gonna be "shadiness". money & relationships will always dominate this culture it's been that way since before sneakers became the "it" thing. Every single JB or any other hyped release I've gotten for the last few years has been from the back doors of these shops. It's not going to stop ever....even if a Niketown goes up in Houston....it's only a matter of time before one of the two (money/relationship) effects things. It's baffling to me sometimes how people can't seem to understand this concept.
Example:
If I own or run a shop,
mf gooze
is good there simply because that's my boy....and I know him solely off of NT. Now throw in friends/fam, and people who can offer me something of personal value in return....let alone the random dudes offering unrefusable amounts for pairs, and you end up with what happened to so many dudes this weekend.

I know, I guess that's my team retail mentality. If it was Chi's for foams I'd ask to cover the cost of retail if anyone was willing to nah mean.
ION know when it's gonna happen, but the way JB been pumpin out product I'd guess 3+ yrs. You don't think it'll happen? I'd say it'll def happen.

Just Nike inline stores you find around the country that aren't outlet, factory or clearance stores (those 3 are basically the same) Nike Dallas, Nike Chicago, etc.
