i honestly just got home from sf niketown. It isn't crazy at all. everything is regulated and every one is lined up on the 5th floor. They did a very good job.

I think a lot of the stores in malls around the USA will be doing a midnight release. Im sure the mall doesn't want chaos on one of the last days of the christmas shopping season during regular hours.

The couple of stores in my mall will be having a midnight release with wristbands the day before. Hopefully I can get a couple pair.

 

[the truth82]

whats gonna happen online on nikestore for these concord XI... Remembering clicking next to checkout quick for the cool grey, the error message pop up. Got to check out a hour later.
no sleep for me on release date, forget work for me.

 

[eugenile gts]

Niketown sf low on in 9 to 11.5 and there are a lot of folks.

Some guy in line with the shoes trying to sell em early

 

[sneakaholic4life]

smh @ NTSF just handin out wristbands like that...i'm over here like 30+ miles away readin this ....well there goes that option

 

[eugenile gts]

Size 10 is sold out as of now in sf niketown

 

[tupac003]

For all the folks at NTSF, How many pairs do they say they have?

 

[eugenile gts]

They said A LOT but there are mad load of folks.

U line up outsside then go to fifth floor and line up again. At least 45 to 1hr wait as of right now. If u are not eveb cloae to the area its a gamble

 

[jecca650]

yeah the NTSF wristbanding was hella spontaneous with no warning at all. Luckily I happened to check their facebook 1 minute after they posted on their wall that they were handing out wristbands and me and my homie raced out there to get em since were about 20min out in San Bruno. Nice to know friday won't be stressful.

[kidstylez]

[young halo]

so does NTSF take your size down?

 

[eugenile gts]

Update folks. As of this post only 11.5 to 15 at niketown sf.

 

[jecca650]

Yeah they write down the sizes you want for the 2 pairs on the wristbands.

 

[cashm0neyand1]

NTSF doing it the right way. first come first serve wrist band, GUARANTEED PAIRS. Unlike New York, NO Guarantee on pairs with wristband.

The only person who's really getting a "good deal" is Nike and even that's debatable b/c it's at the expense of exploiting others.

With that being said-I'm not saying don't cop them. I would like to get my pair just like many other people. If you like them then purchase them, but the bragging is a bit excessive when you look at the big picture. There's more to life than Concord XI's.

Well, on the flip side, if you really do believe that Nike is exploiting others and believe that they shouldn't do so, then you shouldn't buy their shoes to support their efforts.  Also, you can't just figure raw materials and labor into the costs of a shoe....don't forget that anyone that worked on the Jordan XI project at Nike have to get paid too.

exactly,,,,  and they pick days in the middle of the work/school week, so people with jobs have to ask themselves can i go, and students would just cut school for a wristband

 

[cdunk]

So what happens once you get wristbands? Do you still have to stay? Or do you get to go home? Or what? Never had the pleasure of having wristbands before....

 

[jecca650]

Get wristband, come back between 7am and 3pm on friday and pick up your guaranteed 2 pairs.
