Official Shoe Release/ Store Sale Thread DMV

[g money 87]

I think they save pairs for friends and customers they know and only offer the leftovers to the public.

Edit: And I've heard from several people that a lot of sneaker stores around the country choose winners by committee if it's a limited sneaker release.

so ur saying they wanna lose money by selling pairs to friends instead of taxing others who will gladly pay an extra 250 or more, i don't think so. they're not a major retailer, its a private owned boutique, the owner is really uptight too about pricing and such, no way he's just giving away pairs for retail to friends. ive dealt with him many times and him n his wife are really stingy on prices n things. maybe a high profile client like a celeb but i don't see it other than that

I didn't say they gave them away to friends and family. I think Major and many others give friends and family a chance to purchase first, and potentially a discount in some instances. All I'm talking about is that preferred customers get a shot at the stock that most of us don't get. They usually have to pay the same proce, esp if it's Major, but the idea that stores don't have a preferred customer base that they give privileges to is absurd.

major will not sell to F&F at a discount. maybe retail at least, but most likely their backdoor dealings are still highly taxed. the owners are crooks man. i stopped taking my business there years ago.

 

[chrisqo]

the hate for majors is real lol

 

[njavier03]

imagine lining up for kicks or getting a raffle ticket and then on RD, they tell you that you need to spend x amount in order to be able to purchase the pair you won. thats bs man. retail $200, but you gotta buy something else that is incredibly marked up in that store on top. i remember when they had the safari roshes for $300+ SMMFH

 

[reader]

Sure, sure. I understand that. By discount I meant below whatever they want the public to spend. I'm not a big fan of Major either, but I rarely win online so it's my only option for super hyped releases. I wish we could get another tier 0 here

I went to several Shoe City's, no in store raffles. All online. Def should have hit that Mondawmin FA tho

 

[njavier03]

the shoe city info wasnt posted until tuesday, so i dont think the dudes even knew they were getting them on monday

 

[Biggsy]

I went to two Shoe city spots yesterday and luckily they had the list where you sign your name on to enter. I saw that there were no entries for 13. I asked what was the largest size and they said 12. In retrospect I regret not asking after going to all those foot lockers. I am a true 13 so now that I think about it I'll just start putting 12 or 11. I would think 13 would be included in size runs but I guess not anymore. And I wish they would see what size you put and let you know up front. Just a heads up for my big feet folk.

Thanks, had no idea. not sure how i missed that. wish with that info they were still running the raffle until today, but i guess not.

 

[njavier03]

their IG info was messed up. they posted on tuesday the stores that are getting them and that you had until 02/18 to enter the raffles. then they posted yesterday that it was the last day for the raffle.

 

[njavier03]

Just got the email from adidas tysons. I'm 2/5 this time around.

 

[gickswitkicks]
