Indeed.
Much simpler times back then... walk in, cop, walk out! Didn't have to deal with resellers too!
Looking back and thinking about it now, there were so many kicks that the first time I saw them was in the store! None of those Twitter or IG "sneak peek" pics!

Do you guys remember having to beg your local store manager to see the Nike catalogs? That was LITERALLY the only way we could even sniff seeing a Jordan or other big Nike before they were on the shelf. Most of the time they would screw with you and just describe J's, but I remember getting such a rush when they'd actually reach under the counter and hand me the book. There was something so special about seeing the pics early, even if it was just a few weeks.
Peace,
