Your asking this question as if alot of the people that got the LOWS was in LINE for the Highs? I think all the older heads that got the Lows slept in today and looked at there lows and said **** IT! Funny thing is One account back then got more lows then all of Canada got in the Highs! Im sure everyone knows who im talking about here!
MSRP - Maufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. Key word is SUGGESTED!!! As long as store do not sell under MSRP they are fine! Nike wont step in to do anything! Just like before when alot of shops use to do this! If you want the shoe you gonna pay it and be happy you got the shoe! Not even sure how anyone is mad at Adrift or Bluetile, the Nike SB thing hasn't been up in YEARS! Only thing I don't like is the Guy with his 8 friends at BT to buy and resell my guess is the picture on Kijiji with like 3 pairs! The Hype is Big right now I havent seen hype this big in YEARS.

^ they had the decency to post the numbers in the window so people would not line up in the cold only to find out their size was not available. adrift did the same with all their releases today

that's something all places should adopt on release days so you're not a sitting duck but I'm sure Nike probably tells them to not release that info

Of course stores are in their right to price above suggested prices and as I said, I can understand things from a business standpoint in the sense that most of the people buying aren't their normal customers. However one can't deny the fact that there are those who do frequent these stores on a regular basis who might be a little turned off by the price bump. You can price bump for short term gains on limited release shoes, but the question is does it effect the perception of their regular customers and are there any negative implications in doing so. I don't know, nor really care all that much, since I'm not one of them, just throwing it out there.
On the other hand you have some stores in the States that had difference price points for regulars and another for the rest. Sure it's price discrimination and I can see both the good and the bad not including any of the legalities of such a practice.

Speaking of regulars vs. non-regulars and rumours that some US shops had customers do a kickflip before selling them Tiffs - something that I've been bouncing around in my head: I would totally support/welcome shops requiring customers to show past shoe receipts from that store for limited releases. Think it's win-win -- regulars feel rewarded and it forces resellers and 'one and done' customers to either buy something else in store beforehand or try to get a receipt somehow.
I don't know anything about the story of the kid with 8 buddies in line at BTL. But would be pretty damned hard for them to get 9 different BTL shoe receipts. And most resellers hand over their receipts when reselling, right?
Remember when Capsule were doing the Black Pigeon raffle and one of the rules was that you had to be wearing NBs to collect a ballot. Thought it was a good idea.
Of course, don't expect any store to do this (because honestly, $$$ speaks loudest) and it's not foolproof -- but I would like it.

Don't own the original lows, but examined a few pairs of them closely before and they look much better (much deeper embossment on fake croc and it was glossier). Here's a video review, the 'croc skin' is nearly non existent and mint leather looks cheap.
To be honest, they look pretty bad... but **** it, still want 'em because I never got the originals lows.

exclucity in montreal did something like this for the lebron 9 elite south beach launch. had to be wearing lebrons to purchase. those things are never super effective, but they're a start.

^ not that those of us without a u.s. address had any shot at them for retail. but at least this should drive those resale prices below $10k

I don't believe so, i've ordered many times with my RBC issued visa, no problems...
You could also use Paypal for Nike too I think... which should get you over any canadian/us credit restrictions.
But can anyone else confirm this?
