I work graveyard security and there is absolutely no one at my job. I'm my own supervisor. So I put 1 in the air before work, sit in the control room and watch cameras, smoke on my break, do a patrol, have lunch, smoke on my next break do another patrol, lock up or unlock wait for my relief and smoke again on the way home. I know I smoke alot but a very fully functional person and worker trust me

No need to defend your puffing habits. All he was saying was that you used that as excuse for not hitting the buy button when you had the chance, then blamed people sharing the link for why you didn't get a pair. Take responsibility, you dropped the ball!Congrats to everyone who scored on the foreign sites. I am looking for 2-3 pairs, so I didn't want to wait or deal with customs when I should be alright with the online release and my local spot in the AM.

This fail is on you homie. 
If you found a pair online for a price you like, why in gods name would you then go out to the store before taking 2 seconds to complete the order?

had to get gas for work bro, I don't work till 11 but I like to be 30 min. early cuz I can't do that last min. stuff and I like to smoke a blunt before I go in. My consistent income > expending income on shoes. But it's Kool I just had to rant real quick I was punching the sh1+ out of my leather lazy boy when that UK 12 sold out on UI LOL, I already got a 13 off collectiveltd and natterjacks just tryina get them next 2 for retail on NDC. And I don't plan on reselling just a passionate collector who's gonna keep 2 pairs and trade the other 2 for some wht/cement 3's, TB 3's or Blk/cement iv's.

I have no issue with you, but we shouldn't make blanket statements and assumptions like that.

I've put in my work.  My issue with the people whining about "blowing up links" is that they're acting as if they're in some select elite club entitled to these and as if they're the only ones who have "put in work."  Some of these sites may not be well known, but to think that CT and Well Gosh aren't is naive.

Is what it is though.  Just my $0.02.

Have to agree with Sneakerfan1, most folks that are complaining about links getting blown up already have their pair or pairs on lock.  Why not let some other folks celebrate because they scored a pair because someone actually did what it seems on a select few on here do...help other people out.

maybe i should have said over 60% then instead of most.....
 
I was about to order two pairs from natter which would come out to $144 per pair but shipping is $80 + the risk of customs fee, it's just not worth it. I usually have good luck with releases online so if I can't get them that way, oh well. I'd never wait in line for something I don't absolutely need.

I'm not even gonna dispute that, I agree I did drop the ball and it was due to my own timing and decision making and that's what this shoe buying stuff has turned into. Calling the right play at the right time. But I stole that ball right back busted a 2 pointer (2 pairs) and I got an and 1 coming tonight. Let's see if I can knock down the game winning freethrow with the game on the line with NDC

What do you expect, these sights to remain under the radar? Dude look at how UI has changed up their release method from BCIII'S to Concords to the Cement IVs. It's not NT, it's the whole sneaker community. What's the difference in posting release info about US stores vs UK sites? Some people sound like conservative republicans afraid of change. How do you think EVERYONE knew about a retro Concord release, NT? Social Media brahh.

That was my way of thinking tonight. You must have put in some work to get them from CT? Then to just cancel them with a quickness?
 
Things are getting a little hot and heavy in here.. My only time ever buying online was for the Concords and I got through to Finishline before any other site. Good luck to all. 
I guess all the retail heads are sitting back quiet and eating popcorn like I am?

Not at all. As long as you don't take forever to change the quantity to 2, then you should be good.
 
HOH LA opens at 7 tomorrow, line up on Beverly outside the escalator. No wristband bs, just a good old fashioned line. I'm gonna be getting there at 4 with my friend
