TL;DR, no time. What I remember reading was these were a super general release. Had anyone had any problems, it would have been rare, so that's why I am surprised to why people were having trouble with it.
I guess I'm just too broke for $375 :c
That's the lowest price I've seen ever, mind you, I rarely go sneaker hunting. Only because I don't have much free time anymore.
DMV resident here, and I'm here always missing good deals or find a great deal, but not in my size. I would find an 8 for $275 and just recently missed a VNDS pair size 9.5 for $275. Really just looking for size 9-10, prefer a 9.5.
Not redeeming your ticket does nothing but give someone else an opportunity to purchase an unclaimed pair. FTL, FNL, etc will not keep your name down in a secret drawer somewhere. You're fine.
