Okay, so here's my story: My brother is a manager for a DTLR so getting pairs wasn't a problem. I picked him up and we get to his store at 9am so he can open. By the time we get there, my other homeboy from out of town arrives with his other homeboy. We wait in line and the line gets really unruly. I mean, all walks of life are out there..teenage girls, teenage boys, moms, dads, small children and grandmothers
. Chicago Police is everywhere in case stuff pops off because there already had been a few murders around the Chicago aera for these Concords. At 9:45, the store opens and they start selling sizes because its cold outside and people in the line are getting unruly and are yelling out obscenities. After 15 minutes all mens sizes are sold out and the crowd goes crazy when the store announces that they only have kids sizes.
By this point, my boy leaves to go to another DTLR to get his second size 12 (which he ends up having no luck with). So me and his homeboy enter the store even though they are selling kids sizes, because ou sizes are held to the store. But in order to cop, we had to wait until the store clears out some to avoid a riot. So, after the people from the lineup outside leave, the people with management hookup start to check out. The guy in front of me buys 5 various sizes to give out to various teenagers on his basketball team. I cop two for myself, it was supposed to be 10 but one of the other store asscoiates accidentally sold my size 10. I buy my boys three sizes and am done.
My boy calls me and says that that he's missing $200 in change. I guess it falls out of my hand or gets mixed up in the melee, or he loses it. To save face of our friendship, I tell him I'll give him the $200: $100 tomorrow so that he can get back home to Michigan and $100 next week after I sell a pair of my shoes.
So, despite the missing money and the crazy line, Im glad to have them. Quality is decent but not excellent, and after the hassle of getting these, I'll just stick with what I have. And let this be a lesson to all,if your friend hands you money to cop multiples of a shoe, tell them no.
