It was always bad for us. After the black foamposite pros released around '03, we pretty much didn't get any foams here till recently. We also missed out on stuff like the grape 5s, dmp, etc.
Yup. Canada has always been neglected by Nike. Just look at NDC , it still doesn't ship to Canada. At least they started accepting Canadian CC but still requires US shipping address.
I remember I had to get my DMP from Detroit and for the Grapes, I was in PI when they released and I just walked in to stores and bought 5 pairs easily.
The only Jordan release I remember we were above the US was the retro for the True Blue IIIs since it was an ASIA/EU release only. I think we also got the XIII Alts earlier than the US.
What we had going on before was on Nike SBs, we were getting all good releases but I think it is the opposite afterwards. We missed on good releases and this might have been caused by the loss of Goodfoot. Although it seems it's picking up again.
I do most of my shopping now from US/EU online stores. With free shipping or $10 shipping to the US. Even with exchange rates, it still ends up being cheaper than Canadian SRP + taxes.
