If you been "collecting" for 10 years you should of known to start your search way before either date regardless. "Collecting 101"

Well in my area we have 3 finish lines, 6 foot lockers, 3 foot actions, 3 Champs, a House of Hoops, and maybe 2 good mom and pops stores...... So most of the time I dont have any issues picking up any kicks, and due to info these were supposed to be everywhere, I didnt think I would have an issue..... but out of all those stores, only 2 got the Uptempos, one store got two 10.5s and the other only got one 10.5.....   And as I posted I kind of retired this year, so I lost alot of my connects, plus I had no idea everyone would be on the Uptempos with the 6s coming out..

Ok, just making sure. I got one from the mall in San Antonio 

 

[udub3]

So do you guys think both the BB4's and 2k4's will go on sale? Or just one or the other?

Either way i'm planning to pick up at least one on Saturday but maybe i'll hold off on the other if i can space it out and save some change

I went to a Finishline and another person also said no, but before I walked out, I decided to ask a Finishline manager and he said they have them and even let me see a pair..... The first guy I asked seen me holding the shoes and said.... OHHHH, you mean the AIRS........ I went back to the mom and pop store and asked about the AIRS and they also had them as well...........

SMH @ store employees not knowing the name of kicks & turning away potential customers.

Getting decent info out of store employees is hell, especially if a woman answers the phone

Yeah, I agree, but in this case it was the girl who corrected the dudes.... She was kind of sexy and her knowing her kicks was a plus.... She could have been my new connect if I wasnt married.... Olympic Airs, LMMAO!

That's what people keep saying, but so far I've only come across select spots carrying the Uptempos while everyone seems to be carrying the Jordan VIs.

Might pickup another pair of Pips to keep DS, and maybe 180s....hoping to grab them off FNL with some coupons I have

Not necessarily wrong.  Some places like Eastbay and FNL have stated 7/7 but NTLA had them for sale this week and I saw someone say NTNY had them too this week. 

Yeah I saw a dude wearing his near North Beach in Chicago yesterday. Random thought 

 

[bennyblanco3]

Got my Pippens today, Make sure you get a size down.

 

[bking985]

Good craftsmanship. Had a little extra glue in some spots, but easily removable. TRUE TO SIZE!!! Overall, very satisfied.

Now on to the 6s...
