anybody on here been by the Grove or 3rd St Promenade locations to get a token?

 

[up your pujol]

I'm about to chop off some toes so I can fit that 8.5 damn. Pains of being a common 9.5.

rockefeller plaza.... I got a token from there around 3 o'clock you can try to see if they are still handing them out. I called the other 5 nyc stores and they told me they will be doing it on Saturday at 9 am

It seems like none of them know what's going on. I literally called an hour ago and the guy said they start handing out their tokens tomorrow. 

 

[alp]

Yea who knows, but I spoke to the manager so what I was told is most likely true

 

[jorddiem]

Do 997 and 998 fit the same?

yeah i half down on both. 998s are roomier in the toe box tho. 

Still undecided on these Scotches...Anyone know the price?

i don't see people going to crazy for these. Ima pop up on release day and see if I can catch my size. Prefer 998 but that wooden box is dope

Yeah i dont think they are. If these turn out to be super limited resell will be a killer. 

Im the opposite, I need more 997s. Last year was the year of 998s for me haha.

I think they might be more limited than most of their 998's, but if you don't care about the special box, I don't see them being to hard to obtain online.

Hi



Just kidding
I was about to though but saving the cash for the butterscotch.

 

[technique 317]

jcrew site says extremely limited numbers....dont remember if they said the same for concrete jungles or independence days

 

[remy]

^ pretty sure jungles said extremely limited.

Def hoping these aren't a problem online. 

Anyone know the time they'll be available?
