haha right. Don't get me wrong, I'm not standing in that line to make $500. I'm just not. I'll spend those 24 hours with my daughter and spend the $500 to cop resell if I want them. But I recognize I'm privileged as **** to have that attitude towards it. Everyone isn't that lucky so I'll be damned if I judge them for doing what's needed to support themselves. I don't care if it's a 14 year old getting money to buy video games, a 21 yr old getting beer money, or a 35 yr old getting diaper money. Salute to them, honestly.

lmaooo facts! there's a lot of elitism on here
The same dudes who talk s*** about standing in line are gonna tell you you didn't get a shoe because you didn't try "hard enough"

That line is crazy but this is the game now. If people can flip it, there will be a line, chaos and backdooring. I am not going to hate on anyone in that line. I think the longest I stood in line was about 2.5 hours. If you have time time and patience to be out there 5 and 6 hours, then more power to you. It just sucks for people who really want the shoe but can't afford resale and don't have time to stand in line all day.

Keep in mind a lot of dudes doing multiple pairs. If you got a few pairs it's worth 2 days in my broke boy opinion. Security the real hustle cause they getting money with no investment while they're at work.

Oh the people who got multiple pairs aren't the ones mad about the release. But from that line and the stories about the release that was a small fraction of the people there.

This is pretty much par for the course in NYC.
It would be so easy to just stop selling to known resellers and yet no one does it.

People eating at space again.

Damn that sucks to hear. Honestly though, there's no way to stop this kinda thing from happening since it's such an ingrained thing in the culture. There's money to be made so of course people are gonna do whatever they can to buy as many for retail and take advantage of a system (pay off security, skip the line, etc.) to maximize the money in their pockets. Even if one were to have spoken up, it would just fall on deaf ears. Bringing it up to Nike does nothing too.

Those are the people that usually don't get anything, unless they're you.

I’m a little conflicted with your statement.
Spending 24 hours plus trying to pay rent based on the resale of a shoe is the wrong way to do things, especially since you’re not even guarantee a WIN
I don’t know, but for me at least, you can do a lot to further yourself in those 24-48 hours to prevent yourself from camping for shoes to pay your rent or bills.

What about the not-so-privileged that wants the shoe to wear?

Millionaire or dirt poor, reseller or someone who wants to wear the shoes, standing in line for 24 hours to purchase a pair of sneakers is madness. IDC.

Don't look at it as shoes. Look at it as someone standing in line for $500. Not as crazy for that dirt poor person now, huh?

I took out my kaws the other day and the insole print has fallen off perfectly intact like a sticker, it was fine the last time I checked it. Must be the age of it and the glue has faded

Prices slowly coming down a bit, hopefully it stays that way in case I do pay resell
