Well you might be passing then cuz if I had to guess, Nike will be increasing the price again this year. Cuz you know, $185 isn't enough for them
As for the boutique talk, I've been here just under two years and
1. Sneaker villa: I've bought a few releases there and have always been treated fair. always acknowledged, they've always been professional, and they usually compliment what shoes I'm wearing. I've gotten the shoes I wanted at every release with the exception of the gamma XI.
2. Jimmy jazz: been there a couple times. Once was the Phoenix foam release and if I recall correctly the invisible cloak released same morning. I went there to grab the cloaks and was told the foams didn't arrive yet or some nonsense. Got there 30 minutes later, at check out and there's a guy buying a pair of shoes for $240-250, whatever they were. I said "are those the foams?" . Dude responds "oh yeah but I got the last ones, they don't have anymore" I'm like Wtf?? Other than that day (previously), the employees were cool but haven't been back since
3. Social status: never set foot on their site cuz I've been told by numerous people they do shady business. Show favorites to regulars and dope boys. Even been confirmed on this thread by an employee, can't remember who? And I remember one raffle they told me you had to buy something in store to enter in the raffle. I never went in..correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Same reason why you hear on commercials "no purchase necessary".
Sorry for the long post but hope it at least helps somebody
90% of the time I just count on Nike.com to avoid any headache. I do need to meet some in store employee connects tho, especially with how much I buy
