I know some of that was aimed at me. Nobody is turning into a hypebeast. Do you know what a hypebeast is. I sat there a typed, "why do peoplekeep saying these will be easy?" These are possibly two of the most liked shoes ever so they will draw attention out the rear. The Taxi XII and the BredXI.
I simply said, "call your spots and do your research because spots around me are low on numbers". I don't want to be reading a bunch of replys onthe 20th saying they didn't get them. I'm not trying to make a profit so I have no reason to hypebeast. I'm just being honest with everyone so theywont get caught slipping.
Now what was the problem again?
And I hope they are everywhere so everyone can get them. But hey we'll have to see what happens.

Nah it wasn't aimed at you at all!!! LOL
Think about it...this is the most anticipated release in the last few years..with the direction the brand is going...the majority of us are calling it quitswith this pack and leaving the life....
It is perfectly normal to be anxious and exicted and at the same time nervous about even getting the shoes...
but most of us are grown men acting like kids....
Maybe because I'm getting older and I don't get worked up over this sort of thing (I remember being 16 and waiting for releases--you know--before theinternet)
But personally, I am 26, make a phenominal living and have paid well beyond what I should have for the things I want...
Some people can and some people can't and all of that is cool...
but we need to stay focused in a sense and just *enjoy* the wait and revel in the awesomeness that is the XI/XII pack...
the funny thing is I like reading about the heated debates about the color of the sole than 120+ pages of how hard this pack is going to be to get....
if you want something bad enough...the cost is just the end to the means...plain and simple..you pay to play...
if money is an issue...live vicariously through us and your time will come to own them...
when I was 13 and the concords came out, one to rock and one to stock was not even a possibility...but now...
*sorry*...I am not trying to flaunt or anything...just giving the back story to back up my points...

you have no idea what your talking about with the dmps, they sure weren't "limited beyond a quickstrike" they were available atselect footlockers, champs, footaction, finishlines, etc. just like a limited GR. and jm already said that only 11,000 is not true.

Wuts upNT,
When the High Strap 1 was due for release, a LOT of ppl keep saying "RELAX, it's an easy cop..." , "Don't worry they'll beeverywhere".....We all know that was a bunch of crap now. Also, NT'rs said the same thing during the DMP release and that was a huge mess for many ofus. I'm not saying this CDP willt be as crazy as the DMP but it' will be a task non the less... SO, why should everyone relax and believe that this CDPrelease will be a "piece of cake". Because it is NOT going to be easy for metro city ppl., in the suburbs...yeah, ez coppp but for the majority of NTit won't. You guys better be ready to do what you can to get these. Trust me, I'm to old to be doing this now....
Speaking on behalf of all my 213 and 818 folks (LA). The valley has a limited amount of CDP's available. I checked the few spots that we have here in the818, Northridge, Topanga, Sherman Oaks and these spots have 1 or 2 FSR's. So, you might need to hit LA up for this one. Which reminds me of the Fox HillsDMP release, it's always nuts for big releases.....
GOOD BYE............... JORDAN BRAND !!!! it's been a nice 15 years....
...anyone who needs help on release day, I got some secret spots that we can inquire on in the 213/818.

These are gonna be way easier to get than DMP's because stores in my area that have been top sellin stores only got like 50 dmp's and are getttinatleast 150 of this pack so its a big difference and will make it easier 2 get. But im not saying its goin to be easy to get they'll probably sell outinstantly here in the H and have to be there ahead of time because everyone wants this pack.

If these were made in a greater quantity than the other packs, you live in a high volume area, and these will be in the same places where the other packs were,then you are fine....Worst than the DMP....

people are hyped for this release for a few reasons
XI obviously
and the last countdown package
and what could be the last "retro" release
Christmas time boosts sales
and because they kept the pictures under wrap for so long
