Yes, I ordered through oqium.com.  I received an email from ups with the tracking info.  They will be here today.  There is nothing on the account page of oqium though, just still says processing.

Im still waiting on oqiumstore.  Havent heard or seen anything on the website under my account info.

I was at my local spot for the release (after trying 2 other spots) and these idiots let people line up all night..just opened the door..didn't organize the line...said were taking 12 people at a time..let the first 12 in...then came outside and said all sold out....C'MON SON...and this was a MAJOR local not a mom and pop...

I managed to grab my pair and put my people on yesterday to spot in Jersey that never recieved there INITAL order until yesterday...but MOST FTL affiliated store ARE getting restocks...they should be on there in bounds this week or early next week...most stock is between 8 to 10 pairs of random sizes not given during the initial shippment...Honestly keep calling around and your gonna have to get lucky...

For my NYC heads...stay outta Manhattan...selling sneakers is a business..and some kid getting paid $8.00 is NOT on your side..there's a reason 300 kids was in the street yesterday BEFORE the shippment even got there...You gotta fight through KIDS..RESELLERS...HOMELESS dudes getting paid to camp..SHADY $$% employees looking to get paid...Long Island and Jersey even West Pennsylvania is your friend...

Good luck everyone..

JB IS at fault with this release.

- Releasing a popular sneaker amongst teens on a school day is weak decidion by JB. They knew that the only way kids were going to get these shoes, is if they didn't attend school that morning. Jordan brand knows which age group they're selling too -- why not cater to that age group, and release it on a saturday so this way you keep kids in school AND you give all students a chance to cop a pair. Completely JB fault.

- You release one of your most popular shoes two days before christmas? As if the shoe wasn't hyped up already, Jb creates unnecessary hype by releasing their most popular model ever on one of most busiest reatil days of the year. Kids that don't even buy jordans will attempt to but these because the will designated the christmas shoe of the year. Why couldn't Jb scheduled the release of the concords to be, say, in january, or in october? Was two days before christmas necessary?

- Despite all the hype JB created. They still didn't have enough pairs to meet demand. If you're going to treat it as a christmas release and have kids cut school to get these, why not make sure every store gets a minimum of atleast 80-100 pairs? Try to meet your demand. In my area (Long Island) champs, footlocker, and footaction, had a combined inventory of about 50 pairs, and there was about 200 people waiting since midnight for these. Jb could've done a lot better with this release. I've been collecting since 01' and i can tell you, this is easily the worst release i've ever seen.

Dang I guess half of you think u know how to run a business like Nike and jb huh

start ur own up

 

[liftd]

FedEx just dropped off my pair from WG. Patent cut is embarrassingly low compared to some posted. I'm moderately picky about my shoes but this is crazy *+*+, whatever a pair is a pair at the end of the day.

 

[ehbball88]

People miss the marketing/brainwashing part of Nike here. Releasing on a day that school is out and hundreds of kids can run around at the release down at NikeTown and Footlocker in NYC is genius. Michael isnt around for little kids to see flying to the rim anymore, but if little kids see other kids running around at a packed release in photos and videos in NYC they are gonna want those shoes and will beg steal hustle to get them.

There is a reason why you can go to really poor areas of NYC and see tons of kids with 150 dollar pairs of kicks walking around all over. Its because they are brain washed. Nike targets the poor areas and knows what they are doing. Its genius. Maybe evil. But it works.

No kids were in school two days before Christmas.
A manufacturer of a good, releasing an item during Christmas holiday. Oh my god!

I hope next year JB releases a $100 retro Spacejam/Concord/Bred pack, on Christmas day, and to spice the release up a bit, no online sales allowed. Then you guys can go ahead and complain.

School was in session by me and these little kids still went to camp out.....

 

[bigpoint]

Dang just got up to read a lot more dudes are beefing in here. JB got us all turning on each other!

 

[predata08]

I dont know many schools that are open 2 days before school. In VA, school close at least a week before XMAS. Stop blaming a company for people not knowing how to act civilized. Yeah I wanted the shoes just as bad as anyone else, but under no circumstance was I going to run, push, or yell at anyone over a pair of sneakers. Personal accountability is out the window now a days.

And by doing so jb creates unnecessary hype that the shoe doesn't need; Being that it is by defualt a hyped up shoe.

Before calling him a dousche bag.... I would consider a couple things..... Did he say that they were all his.

I'm pretty sure that is one of partial owners or employee of RPS..... Sooo chill out..... If it was 2 per customer in areas or 1 per customer. Then it is almost impossible to get a FSR. And if some of you guys were partially educated you would notice the FSR from 8-15 I believe..... So slow your role lmfao. And if Ronald did get all these with some shoe team then how can you knock the hustle..... I doubt it though....lol that's a massive amount of favors he would owe though.

For me Im not knocking the hustle if that's what it is. Let me make it clear that I got my pairs so I'm good. The fact that you would come on this forum, and post pics like that is stupid and if I have to be mature, I'll say incentive to to fellow members on NT. Not that it matters to anyone here anymore but I would like to know the sole purpose of why he had to post pics of that. Seriously! With as salty as people are right now it just doesn't make sense other than wanting to piss people off and get reactions, which he has accomplished. If he is a business owner, what's the purpose for this? Advertisement, Please? I'm not hating but I think it's rather stupid to do at this point in time, but I know it's NT right!?. I get it.

No way am I defending this guy, but Anybody who frequently reads most of the stuff in this thread should not be salty over someone posting that pic.  Who cares if he bought 30 pairs, good for him.  Fact of the matter is, certain websites had them for a good while for 30 to 45 above retail for a good while before they released.  If you didnt want to pay that because you actually thought there was a chance to get through on release date, then thats your fault for being naive to all this hype.

I look at it like this, there's no real difference between him posting pics planking on 30 pair and the countless other pick up pics we've seen, anyone hating on that pic needs to look at him/herself in the mirror and have a reality check! Theres to much worrying about what the next man is doing, this is why that crab in the bucket mentality exists on NT, if that man whats to bungee jump off his pairs of sneakers let him do whats whats good for him. instead of hating i would be pming that man to see if one of those pairs are available at a good price.
only problem i see with that pic is that it violates the stockroom rule & that rule is in place to control the buying/selling in the thread.
i see why the insiders stay away from posting info like they used to! Damn i miss 2001-2006

I had no clue schools were open that soon to Christmas, my mistake.
But a Saturday Christmas eve release would have been even worse. Saturday a week earlier, maybe better, but I'm thinking would still been horrible for this particular release.

 

[forty four 4s]

Your Nike conspiracy theories are far fetched. The NYC DoE had a full day of classes scheduled. I should know, I work for them. That said, many of my students were waiting in line at the sneakers stores a block from the school.

For Oqium.com, it was the preorder placed back on the 7th of Dec.  Oqiumstore had a full size run for like a week prior to release date and that came out to like 230 a pair for two pairs.

 

[freeze]

ahhhhh, they just arrived....such a beautiful shoe. flawless victory. ndc never fails me.



this does look quite a bit better than my sds pair, which in itself was pretty great. i'm happy. now just waiting on my xmas kobes to arrive.

 

[beyond the glory]

Just received shipping confirmation from snipes!
