Walked into a FootLocker in Fairfield, AL yesterday afternoon hopeless af and this employee walked up to me and asked if I needed help. Told him everywhere is sold out and drove 25 mins please man please have a sz 10 for the Bred 1s. Dude paused a moment and looked at me and said I'll be back.....returned later sat the box down and recreated the shoe store scene from He Got Game

He told me a very hot item luck is really on your side today smiled and left me to help someone else.
Reality set in and a little surge of emotion took me back to being a kid again holding this pair, feeling the buttery red leather, smelling the shoe, trying it on etc etc. I payed but before I left found that employee again and asked for his name so I could properly address him and told him I respect a HARDWORKING employee but above anything an HONEST employee and went for the handshake and lock up (slyly had money folded so he felt it when we locked up). Held it in place and said I know this job doesn't pay well and we brothers out here trying to get it frfr so here is a token of my appreciation. Picked up my bag and left but not without hearing a wow man fam gave me $150

No I paid the 167 and change for pair.

I tipped him $150 (because he could have looked me dead in my eye and say sorry bro sold out but instead honesty was the biggest role he played at the end of day) so wanted to bless him in a big way for being SELFLESS.

True true, definitely a nice story to hear.

You know any better reps and how to tell them apart?

Also, here is Ludacris with the review. Seems like they came from a rep site...if true, then forget my post and burn your resell pairs. Reps have officially beaten the system.

Saw this video and was confused, both look different from a lot of "fake" and legit pairs ive seen in various pics maybe the lighting? Or are these both fake as well?

After that story, There's a guy in this thread crying that he won't get the extra $150 resell. That buys a lot of New York pizza. At least a days worth.

So Im pretty sure I took an L but I need to confirm I took an L

I was charged 172 for the 1s but didnt receive an email from the snkrs app saying I got em. 

And theres no order in my history 

I took the L right?

Thanks for providing the info but I'm not sure that the black stitching has to exactly have to meet at the swoosh. I have no idea if sizing has to do with it? I know Villa photos you provided show it meeting but NDC pictures show it not meeting at exactly at the swoosh.

Yeah you are correct: there are a number of authentic pairs that have the corner stitching not touching the swoosh. I purchased my pair from foot action and it does not touch the swoosh.

FYI for those interested: my dates are 4/13/16-6/10/13
