I'm also pretty sure this goes against nike's rules for conducting raffles. Tickets should be free, therefore every participant is given an equal opportunity . Im disappointed.

then they deleted my post and BLOCKED me...

what a bunch of crooks

look up denver laws on raffles and see if there suppose to be charitable only raffles

You're right. It's a running store. Same as the one at Fashion Island... I made the embarrassing call last year...
Yea the grove, fashion island and south coast plaza nike stores are all running stores.  If my memory serves me right, fashion island USED to be a NIKETOWN

I'll do it, and then whisper, "I've got the juice, now" into the ears of their cold, lifeless body.

I know a guy who hates resellers so he goes on craigslist and sets up people to meet him and he just never shows. He makes people drive all over.

It doesn't matter because the bottom line is even people who wear theses on their feet will most likely be shot ,stabbed or robbed

These shoes are basically a thousand dollar shoe at this point so that means i would not be surprised if a lot of people get hurt for just wearing these especially in places like the DMV

 

[zack54attack]

I called a few NT's today and they said they don't have info yet. I'm wondering if Nike is trying to figure out a way to handle this, whether it's through a raffle or Twitter RSVP. I doubt that only boutiques and Mom N Pop shops are the only ones getting them. My hunch is that it will be ALL raffles for NT's

What's even sadder is that we have to spend our own money to enter a raffle to get a chance at spending our own money again.

And the saddest part of all is that a lot of you think you NEED to buy these and every other hyped up shoe Nike drops. Until you guys realize that your actions in the past couple years are the reason why you either can not afford or find the shoes you want nothing will change. Nike has you guys by the throat. You have to stop thinking that you NEED these shoes in your life.

TRUUU

They should just do RSVP bcuz too many people will be at a raffle. It would be a crowded mess.

 

[zack54attack]

BTW, HoH State Street in Chicago said they have a "small chance" of getting them..

 

[bishopstrongbow]

There's more people out there camping at State Street as we speak .. Seen a pix of bout 8 heads

Agreed.
I imagine they are worried their DM's are going to be flooded, and none of the NT Twitters have even posted a warning for the RSVP. They posted a tweet about the Military 4's earlier today.... I just feel like employees at HoH's and NT's have been told to %*** about everything, and once saturday comes the shelf will be stocked and it's everyone for themselves lol.

[mfghilario]

Some of you guys are already getting salty, talking violence on people smh. I know someone might get hurt/killed for these, but pray that it doesn't happen. They're just shoes, damn

 

[zack54attack]

If they do release at Niketowns, it will be in some orderly fashion. Nike doesn't want blood on their hands.

Cool thing is, we got a small circle of us on here trying to help eachother out via pm and stuff, cus we know we're all just trying to actually wear them...

If someone on here does have a hook up on these and is thinking about passing cuz you just don't like em or whatever, and so you're leaving em for someome else who wants them, you should still cop and just sell em to someone around here you know is gonna wear them. Otherwise there's a good chance they're just gonna end up in a reseller's hands (most of these will initially).

I'm not trying to be negative nancy, but these selling out of stores for $1,500+ is a bad sign, and perfect storm and recipe for these to easily turn into a $3 - 4K type sneaker, and never come down.

I feel you my dude good luck. I have a dude who is saying 700 right now if its not in my sz (10.5) i'll glady slide them to someone else.

This release showing the true colors of some people..yeezy got people going nuts lmao

Trust and believe if you get a pair you better run like this to your car

Their not 'trying to figure it out' their just keeping it quiet so they dont have campouts.  I wouldnt even go so far as to say niketowns are lying but they probably are being lied to by corporate as to whether their getting them or not.  By thursday/friday NTs will be talking

...and it will be Nike's fault for making these extremely limited and creating the hype around them for over a year. Sending pairs to celebrities to show off doesn't help either.

   In reality this is what i'll be doing if I get a pair. I might even chill at the store and wait for the crowd to die down
