Hate it when you know the mist of shadiness is in the air. Certain Tier0 accts you know got an allocation but haven’t posted a single peep about them.
Like how would TWG only get pairs for APB and not anything for the other 3 stores under the umbrella…
Corporate Raffles up but you must live in OH/KY/IN to qualify

They didn’t have a single VAA winner in the EQL app. Granted, you have to opt in for that to show but you have north of 1100 people in the EQL app who opted in and show Ws for Nigel’s B.A.B and Sneaker Poliitcs had a whopping 0 for that release for the VAA’s? Almost a zero chance without...
I love how releases like these (Nigel direct EQL) that are transparent really help to highlight how so many other releases are heavily backdoored and EQL rigged (Sneaker Politics VAA Alaska for instance)
I think the stores still have ways to game the system even with EQL because I know for a fact not a single person had a W for VAA Alaska in the EQL Discord, not even 1 pair
EDIT: No Ws for Sneaker Politics specifically
Feel like these will hit the hardest for those who were around for the OG release and just be “another shoe” for newer heads/collectors. The black joints almost had a mystique about them 21 years ago
Give it a few hours though - sellers will panic and see the lowest asks slowly drop and all fall in line. Wouldn’t be surprised to see prices drop by a fully hundy over the course of 24 hrs.
