what time does the retro 11 release online this morning? 6-7?? i live in texas can someone help me out with this new releasing online???
 
looking forward to next week on the 4s, what time new york will have them online?? i live in texas
 
Funny thing is I didn't even want these just figured I'd try this morning & guess what I actually got through on NDC. That would be my luck, lol. Canceled my order this morning so anybody looking for a sz. 12 a pair might pop up in the next few days not really sure how they go about canceled orders. They're cool & all but a lil too much white for me. Never was much of a fan of white patent leather.
 
I was able to grab 2 this morning. size 11. Trying to see if i can use one to swap if i dont get one of the new IV's coming out soon.

-Yesterday, connect #1 says his store still didn't have them in yet so I call connect #2.
-Connect #2 would be able to come through except for 1 problem, they already pre-sold every sz.12.

-I say eff it and go up there and cop a sz.13. Son charged me $220

. I figured I'd cop and trade for my size 12 and have the other person pay for all of the shipping.
-Fast forward to today, I go jump in line at FinishLine this morning and got my size 12

.
-I get back home and Connect #1 hit me like "We got them in this morning. I wasn't able to get that 12 but I did get a sz.11. Come get it NOW before I get in trouble for holding it for you."
-Seeing as how I just established this connect, I didn't wanna ruin it immediately and tell him I was cool because I'll definitely need him in the future. I didn't want him to think I was a flaker. I get up there and end up running son $200

for a sz.11.
-Now I have my sz.12, an 11, and a 13 that I paid $440 for that I do NOT want!

i dont even have connects anymore
and been paying more for my retros this year 

but that not a connect that robbery $440.00 for a shoe that's not even your size  

it will take you awhile to see anywhere near that price

anyways where there lines in nyc for these ?
 
Guys, please tell me I wasn't stupid for this. I could've gotten my pair at Finish Line for $110 after tax... However, my manager makes all employees wait in line, so I figure it's better to just pay full price and RSVP my pair at Niketown. The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to think I should've just gone to Finish Line and save myself the $40.
 
After showing up to the mall at 10AM to look for a pair for my brother, I wound up purchasing a pair for myself as well after seeing them in person...

But yea, they got me this time around LOL!

I'm gonna try and sell them. I'll most likely take a loss but whatever. In the long run, this will pay off...


It will pay off for you in the long run bro so don't worry. Actually, you should be able to get most of your money back on the 11's in time. 
The idiots who post and laugh at this are morons. Building connects is the most important part of the game these days. 
 
 

you need new connects....imagine how much they are gonna charge you for releases that arent this easy....


Was just gonna post this, you're seeing connects but I'm pretty sure all they see is $$$ signs. Not trying to rain on your parade but unless you get really really cool with them, they're gonna charge you a grip for the next big release

Yes. They send out the tweet, and the first ones to get the message in get their pairs.
