Raffle at Nike store was a joke.  What a let down, was excited to finally get some good stuff at Nike but not so much anymore if its going to be like this.  On another note, did K. Love sign with Peak?  Was at the game Wed night and he was rocking Peaks it looked like, thought he had been rocking nikes before that.  Wish we would get a good player with Nike like KG in his first few years.  Kobe is in town tonight!!!

ETP, what went down at the raffle? How many pairs did they have? Were the resellers out in full force? I wanna know how the new Nike Store's first big release went. It will help me decide if I should ever go there in the future for big releases.

Raffle was stupid, basically its a crap shoot, most releases if they are a decent amount of people you could show up spend the money and time to get there and leave empty handed.  I would have camped out for a min for these.  They even had there employees putting in tickets for the raffle.  Guess I should be happy the employees didnt get them set aside.  One cat brought 6 chicks with him to up his chances for a size 12 which was the size I was trying to get.  So I knew immediately it was prob a waste of time.   Def hype on this with resellers, I was the only one wearing any lebron gear.  Lebron SVSM 4s btw which most didn't even act like they knew what I had on

  Which is cool but def some people who aren't usually on Lebrons were out there coppin.  But as far as how they are handling releases its very disapointing.  Thought we finally had a place to grab some good stuff up here but it was a HUGE let down.  Almost a joke.  Will try to get most of my stuff from other places if its a lottery every time a shoe releases

  Sorry for the rant fellas, Nike store got me all excited about future releases, now I'm just really disapointed and let down.

Yeah Love is with Peak. He wore them the first time in the 31/31/5 game. I think Flynn is the only Nike guy that rocks some good Nike stuff. I remember he wore the all blue hypermax and Love for the game as well.

 

[earl the pearl]

Yeah I saw that, seen Flynn rocking the MTAG 7s, wish Beasley would end up signing with Nike.  He used to rock a decent amount of heat at KSU too.  Miss the old KG days before he left for adidas.

That's disappointing. Resellers need to get a real job.

I just want some exclusive Kobes.

Going to Mall of America tomorrow. Someone give me a recap on what they all have in their shoe stores? Footlocker and Footaction?

 

[werallequal]

did phenom ever get there pairs?

 

[kg21]

Sneaky, if you're looking for Jordans/basketball shoes:

2x Champs (Main one is on second level between The Buckle and some shop that sells ties)
2x Foot Locker (Main one is on third level next to Macy's)
1x Foot Action (Lower level near Sears, across from Cinnabon)
1x Finishline (second level, next to Pac Sun, right above the Best Buy Rotunda)
1x Nike Store (second level, next to Gilly Hicks, across from Abercrombie & Fitch, I can't remember if it's next to Nordstroms or Bloomingdales, pretty sure it's the former)
1x Nordstrom Rack (third level, you can sometimes find some good deals here on old shoes that never sold but it will take a lot of time to dig/hunt for them)

I think that is it as far as shoe stores.

 

[earl the pearl]

KG21 pretty much nailed it.

Anybody have a problem getting their Flints today? I don't buy J's for retail anymore but I find it interesting when half of Minnesota is at the mall in line for a pair of j's. Also anybodysee any good deals on laptop, tv, and camera? 

 

[kg21]

Flints had lines? I'm pretty sure those were a general release. I can't believe there is still hype for Jordans in Minnesota. I really hope I can cop Cool Greys online so I don't gotta deal with the mall.

I didn't splurge on Black Friday this year like I did last year. Last year I dropped about $400 on BF. This year I spent $40. I just went to Sports Authority, lined up for the free $, and bought some Nike gear. I got all the electronics that I want right now, except for a Blu Ray player.

 

[rsdplaya]

moa was crazy today...or so it looked.  i work right across the street...i got to work at 7 am and it was already packed in there...and by 11 am-+#%, there were cops out there directing traffic and the ramps to get to MOA (killebrew and lindeau) were absolutely jam-packed!  crazy stuff.

 

[ohyeah10]

PM'd you.
Flints - lol. I'm sure they'll sit around for a while

Anyone copp the DB 3's? Looked on NDC and they showed all the kids that created the DB collection those kids all did a real nice job on them. I remember last year when the 7's came out there was like 3 dudes walking out with 10-15 pairs, I didn't pick up a pair last year was just out at the mall that day and saw the line at Nikestore.

 

[kg21]

I know my boy from HS and a friend of his copped.

So does Kevin's Love brother still read this thread? Pretty sure I saw a guy who looked like it was him on Saturday night vs. the Cavs. He was with his lady friend and two other guys.

When my friend asked what shoes Love was wearing, I incorrectly told him Li-Ning (instead of Peak).

 

[rsdplaya]

i haven't seen him around here in a while...since last season. i went to a game with him last year, cool dude.

 

[jpzx]

He's in S&T every other day or so.

 

[hood17]

Uh anyone have luck getting the Altitudes?
