Went to the back of the line and hope not enough people showed up.  Bottom line, it seems like every NT had a surplus... some of y'all should stop being lazy.

Exactly.  Great point made.  The line at NTNY wasnt long at all.  I kept finding myself and others going back to the line to get more.  At the end of the day me and my cousin walked out with a few pairs based of the fact that not many people were there to get em so we just kept going back to get more.  The longest wait after my first pair was about 20 minutes but the good thing was they were letting 10 people at a time go in.

Not everyone has a rock solid connection, nor the money to spend 300+ for some kicks that retail for 160. It never used to be this bad in the sneaker community. To see that picture with the guy and his kids going in three times was OD. Could have been a few pairs for people who got jipped online last night like myself. People who may have actually been in line if they had the chance. Not hating, Not crying, just saying...

I feel you on that.  One thing NTNY did was if they saw you with a bag or knew you were already in, they would let people who didnt already buy go ahead of you and skip the line just to make sure they were able to get a pair.  Once they saw there were no more new people to make their first purchase they would let people go back in.  I think that was pretty fair considering not many showed up.

Nike Lenonx in ATL was packed tho, about 160+ plus dudes showed up, I got there late around 3:00am, got a wristband but didn't get my size, but picked up a few small sizes and try to resell.

DB IIs, Is, and VIs re-stocked...so for IIIs i would say.......


yes


FYI- Ntowns usually re-stock the week after RD, even sometimes as early as the following Monday! so whoever missed out,keep your eyes and ears open. ntowns have done phone orders on DB re-stocks in the past.
good luck

The other heels has an open and bitten chocolate candy bar on it, hence the word "CHOC" written on the wrapper.

Some people have multiple pairs all the time on limited releases is because the store doesn't want to have left overs. They want to move all of the stock and not worry about phone orders and shipping later on. Wouldn't you rather have the money and move te stock right away and not worry about it. Just my opinion...
