Who Remembers when Eastbay Magazine Sold Air Jordan Retros

Whatever happened to that ?!? Oh yeah, hype beasts and resellers messed it all up

nope just that the internet made that form of shopping obsolete. i mean the resellers and hypebeasts don't help the situation but i'm pretty sure they're not the main reason. i honestly don't have a problem with resellers. if they beat me to a release then i congratulate them cuz they put in more work than i did. what i do hate is when ppl at the front of the line let everyone and they momma cut. that happened to me with the miami vice lebrons. waited in line for 8 hours and struck out cuz a couple ppl in the front let about 15-20ppl cut the line :smh: thats that ish i don't like!

edit: on a side note, this is my 420th post..this calls for an after-work celebration :smokin :smokin :smokin

Ok, I'll play - who remembers your friend's mom walking in on you with your hand down her daughter's pants after she had just given you and your friend a ride to buy the new Jordan VIIIs with the money you got from your first jobs?
Oh man, those were the days.
(They were though!)

Wow i def do remember in Hs round 02-03 my boy would bring his copy to class and we would b/s about kicks ALLLL day def miss those days with hypebeast's around every corner ruining ir for everyone

they still had the,m in eastbay then? wow i havent seen J's in eastbay since 99.
 
I remember being able to call Eastbay and preordering a Jordan shoe before the release date.
Oh yeah, I remeber those days!!! No waiting in line or waiting for midnight to order on line. Call them up, give them a style code and they would tell you they were out of them, but that you could place a back order. You could do that a month or more in advance.:tongue: Did that for the XIs and the IIIs - mulitiple pairs too!!
