I really think this deserve mad respect. I feel like as a sneaker community, and the fact that we're Canadian, sorta means that we should help out when we can, instead of trying to resell for ridiculous value just to make a profit off some kid.
Terrible, just terrible.
whoever said to just give in to resellers DON'T. As a community, we need to stand up and speak out on this.
A sneaker head I met told me about some pair of 1's he wanted to buy and it was the last pair and this kid behind him was balling his eyes out (literally crying) so the guy let the kid have it.
I was in line to get a pair of shoes and they had a 12 and 13 (my size). The guy behind me was a 13 and couldn't downsize where as I could. So I told him I'll take the 12 you get the 13.
I'm sure all of you have similar stories. There is still good left in this community, we just need to be more vocal about it. These guys may hide their faces but we know what's up and sooner or later they will be exposed and move on.
Simply put: Don't support resellers/consignments who gouge.
And in terms of HOH in SQ 1, Although there were tons of chairs outside, I was able to just walk in at 9am and pick up the last pair of Kobe 9s All Star. So to be honest, I dont really understand the purpose of people waiting overnight at SQ 1 for shoes, when I think all you got to do is wake up a little early and walk in. Please correct me if i'm wrong tho, I've never really lined up for sneakers tbh haha
