That used to be how it worked in Europe. Not any longer. They didnt get their restock last year and the cool greys were not as hyped.

Didn't have to camp for mine being that mine were already reserved but I did go up to the mall as the stores were opening. Most pairs were already presold so the campers either didn't get their size or didn't get a pair at all. Campers were fighting and arguing amongst each other do police was called multiple times. Campers were lined up in front of Footlocker & refused to even let the staff in front of them. One staff came late & they didn't let him in store at all in fear of the campers rushing the whole store as they let him in.. It was CRAZY!! By far the craziest release I've ever witnessed!

Everyone should hit the report item button on those joints. Listing pics are fakes and then using dudes pictures. He says nothing about authenticity in the listing. Definitely shady

What would be the best sites to order from in your opinion. I was on at midnight, but couldn't get any orders in.

Doesn't make sense that Ndc would restock these....if they had extra stock why would they cancel orders from the orginal release

As much as I want to agree with this, I just can't.
Honestly, how a shoe looks doesn't impact how well it will sell as much as hype will (i.e. Dorenbecher IV and Cool Grey XI in my opinion are both).
It's an XI, and all it takes are a few celebrities to wear them early and a bunch of first look, closer look, another look and official photos hyping up the shoe for it to get crazy.
I hope that the Columbias are a much more peaceful release, but this trend with the XI isn't looking good for this at all.
I dunno..it might be nearly as chaotic as this release. A few of my reasons are:
1.) People who got the other christmas releases will want to get one step closer to finishing the set
2.) Havent retroed since 2001
3.) A solid columbia sole plus a white shoe makes a great all purpose sneaker
4.) Dudes who buy all white shoes will flock with these since theyll be easy to match with
5.) This is the colorway he wore in the 1996 All Star Game
6.) Chicks will LOVE these. I can see it coming already
7.) People will buy to attempt to either trade for the other XI colorways or to attempt to sell for 300+

CT might not've gotten the restock last year, but I know some of the EU sites did. I want to say that it was Wellgosh, but I'm not positive. Either way I'm sure that there'll be a random restock here or there. Although counting on a pair from a restock is like counting on getting a leprechaun's pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Yeah Ill never go to Beachwood or Richmond for a release like this. Went to Tower City Footlocker who had the district manager on site ( do to them playing people on the cg's last year). I thougt they had the most pairs in Ohio? they had around 108. If you struck out there you still would of had Villa,Champs and Next to try.Originally Posted by memphissfinest

I wait get a ticket for the last 14 get my pair then rush home to get 30 mins of sleep before having to work 10 hours with no break the following day!
so yeah I had to fight and only got 30 mins of sleep in 2 days but F it I GOT MY PAIR!
This is basically what happened to me, only thing, I didn't get shoes. Beachwood Mall, suburb in Cleveland, security comes and says well, we only letting people in this door. So we standing there looking into the mall, and ill be damned if we didn't see people walking through the mall with Finishline bags. And they still wouldn't let us in the mall. I figure those were mall employees that got into the mall and bought their shoes, then left only like 15-20 pairs for 100 other people. I've NEVER been so angry over something i shouldn't o
f been like I was about this. Get in the mall and their is already about 60 people lined up outside of FNL.
To top it off we're standing in line, and it was like 5 dudes who already had their J's, rocking the J's with slim, tight, tapered Levi's on, in my opinion rocking them completely wrong, they come stand to like the side of the line and start laughing like damn yall really want these don't yall, and laughing. So then they see one of their friends in the back of the line, and start laughing and saying let's go flex on this %#%$#. They do that, then one of them try to cut the line in front to sneak in the mall in front of everybody. I get up to the door where he at, I work at GM, real dirty and oily in there, I have on my work wheats, I stomped all on dude J's with both feet
I could of told you about beachwood. Dudes there are beyond shady. You should of went to Belden village mall. Finishline there got the most pairs in northeast Ohio. They are one of the best selling finishlines in the country.

CT would used to get restocks like clock work. I dont know what other sites did as the og post only mentioned ct. I know CT cause they are owned by ASOS the same company as asos.com and I frequent that site.

Concerning restocks, precedent says NDC wont restock. Stores used to get stock from the EU but now we are consuming their goods as well. The last time I saw this done was for the Aqua 8's. I know FNL is notorious to cancel your order just to restock your size later. Not really sure what the circumstances are.

I can agree with your seven reason with the exception of a couple. If you asked half the people trying to get them when they were last retroes, and what all star game he wore them in, they wouldnt be able to tell you.

That was not a true restock from Nike. They just put up stock intended for local consumption.

Whats crazy is that they think these are the first release. I wore a pair of OG's to a school I volunteer at and the kids went bonkers. Minds were blown when I told them they were from 16yrs ago.

Man I understand this release sucked but I mean why the salt tho?
I mean you struck out. Nothing you do or say on here Is going to bring restocks
Nike dropped the ball on this release tho, same thing that happened with the Space Jams.
FNL is a joke Theyll hold your payment even though theyre sold out. They held my payment for a week on the space jam release.
HypeBeasts killed the game but they did what they had to do to get these kicks. Ive been a sneakerhead forever I lucked out on this release. Hypebeasts and all camped out for days and were there being animals and running people over
for the "White and Black SpaceJams" but they did what they had to do to cop. I see alot of "Sneakerheads" Waking up on RD an hour before and expecting to cop? I mean FLT and Nike emplyees arent going to have two line at the
registers. One for "Niketalk Sneakerheads" and "Hypebeasts".. You snooze you lose. Plain and Simple. Do your research, Make preparations, and execute the gameplan. most of you guys walking around with some mortons man. On to the
Next one!

Dont even remember Jordan playing ball at all, not even at Washington. Dont know where they get their hype and and love for Jordan's from. I guess if others like it, they follow suit.

Didn't know you had to be "around" when a shoe came out to like. Hell, half of the Nike classics we all love came out before we we're born or while we we're still in diapers.
Ya'll just bitter for no #$@%*++ reason I swear.
Air Force 1's... came out in 82. How many nt'ers have a pair of af1s and born before then?
Jordan I's came out the year I was born, but I guess I'm a hypebeast for having a few pairs.
Jordan II's came out when I was 1 years old, guess I'm not allowed to like those right?
Jordan III's came out when I was 2 years old, guess I'm not allowed to like those right?
In you all's eyes, I shouldn't have bought a pair of Jordans until the XIX's when I was 18 years old.
Hell, I was 10 in 1996 when the XI's originally came out, but being that it may... I shouldn't have these either huh?
Get off ya'll high horses.
Live and let live.
