I was responding speciffically to this statement: "....I dunno where you live but damn teachers can afford 140 dollar shoes like that? "
In making that statement you seemed to be asserting that teachers do not have the financial ability to purchase what you consider to be expensive shoes. I was merely providing an example of a teacher who, in fact, does purchase Jordans. It's also worth noting that Jordans are not by any means the most expensive shoes on the planet; many of your finer dress shoes cost considerably more. While I will allow that some teachers (including some of my former colleagues) do not wear expensive things, it is not because their salary does not allow it. They simply choose to spend their money on other things.
As a sidenote, I find it amusing that you would imply teachers are unable to afford $140 shoes when so many of the students (read: teenagers with low-paying jobs) are wearing them. The average teacher in the U.S. earns approximately $55,000/year. I know that's not HovKid money, but give us a little credit!
The average vs the truth seems a bit different. Starting Salary for teachers in my area is 33k. But anyways you guys must live in NY because I have seen only one adminstrator at my school wear Jordans ever. The average teacher isnt copping jordans its the truth. Teenagers with low paying jobs usually dont even have any real expenses anyways. Are you going to compare a teenager who is ONLY saving for Jordans to someone whos saving for a retirement fund?
When i coach/teach i WILL rock heat period. JB will be worn! ill be damned if i will give away my collection just because i coach/teach and am aroundall these young bucks. Feel pretty strongly

I have been hearing stories about eastbay crashing at midnight for these releases. Do nike.com and fnl.com have the same problems as well?

^ Discounts do not work on Jordan releases on Eastbay. I think alot of you guys are stressing out for nothing on this release.

^I just tested this code LKS18K99 with the Laser 15's and it worked for free shipping. So i think we will be able to use it on the pack.

If you don't live in SoCal, ignore this post.
For those that do, here's the info I got for Fox Hills. FinishLine (one of the top 23 spots in the nation) has a big run, but less than they had of theDMPs. They are not doing reserves and the common sizes are 8 pairs each. FootLocker has them, but only 3 pair of the common sizes. Both of these stores areopening at 6am, and the entryway on the 2nd level of the parking garage near the security office is open 24x7, so that would probably be the best way to getin. I don't think the mall is planning on opening any other doors. Champs and FootAction are not getting them. MensLand has a small run, but theywon't say how much yet. They're not opening until 10am, so if FNL and FTL are sold out, MensLand will probably going to want $400+ for them.

If you think about it, the site probably won't crash, the site probably crashed with a quarter of the people trying to get the max. of 10 or 5 packs eachand it couldn't compute it quick enugh, but now that people will have to keep changing accounts if they want over two, the computer system should be ableto calculate it faster, unless it is just the sheer number of transactions being made that does it.

Not exactly. Math takes no time at all. It's not any more work for the servers to sell 10 packs than it is to sell 1. It's usually thenumber of people on the site that causes the congestion. Web content servers, Application (shopping cart) servers, database servers, financial processingservers...they all get overloaded when everyone is trying to buy at the same time.

The free shipping codes usually work though don't they since they aren't targeted towards the shoes directly?
