I can't justify paying $200 for a pair of XIs. I need to get these for below retail. Preferably in the $150 range

i feel like i'm the only one that thinks the 29's are really dope?If only they swapped a Pantone 11 low with the 29 and called if the GOF, then we be talking.
Enough fantasizing. Resellers won't go nowhere due to people having a job or jobs and not wasting their time (as they see it) camping, rigged raffles and online shoe transformers. Internationally we get shoe that most people don't get outside the US and a few vis versa.
People been wanting the Pantone since the picture surface, unfortunately its in a pack. Lol I like ya icy but won't see any Sneakerhead, resellers, hypebeast, or collectors boycotting this pack.
the ones that are gonna end up coming out have a fresh colorway and the silhouette is not bad at all.
and as for the brazil pack, i ended up actually preferring the cp3's to the 6's.

There is absolutely no way If wear or like to have those.
Dudes thought I was crazy for saying I'dprefer a Carmine that dropped this year over the CDP or OG whatever.
I will take a brand new fresh icy shoe over that yellowed out mess all day, I wear my shoes though I don't look at them.
But when my old shoes with clear bottoms yellow, I give them away, never keep for value

allocations have started to come in for some stores(nyc NJ)
they upped production number from last years gamma release every store is going to get 50-100 more pairs than last year in comparrison
footaction brooklyn is set to have 279 pairs of these
they had 210 of gamma last year
of course demand > available product
but this will increase chances of winning a raffle for some

That's a good thing and bad thing in some places. More shoes , more back door activities going on.

unfortunately this takes place on the store end so really nothing that can be done about it
also do realize that chain stores(foot locker champs etc..)
are allowed to hold 10% of any shoe inventory to the back for "employee purchases"
this is with every release with the exception of a QS
so that 279(which are just the mens pairs) means that footaction is allowed to pull back 28 pairs and hold them for employees
now chances are they dont even have 28 employees or even if they do they wont be able to sell 28 mens pairs to staff being as women do work their and they want the GS sizes which also have a separate 10% pulled
this is where the "hook ups" begin
where a staff member if you toss them some cash will hold/get a pair for you if you give them say $20+ dollars plus retail with tax
now this is where that employee cashes in
not only do they get that say 20 or more bucks from you
they also purchase for 30% off box price and keep the extra(not all releases allow the discount though)
so this is where that *birdman handrub* comes into play lol
also store management can do what ever they want UNLESS a DM(district manager) is in store
and can pull back pairs if they wish to either 'back door" as people like to say or simply put on hold for their friends
mind you thats extra besides the initial 10% hold
so easliy a release can have 1/3rd of its stock held back from the general public if not more for the ultra crooked stores

DM - will and can shut it down at any store on RD
I've Seen it happen… During the Beethoven's Kobe's Release
Employee's at a FTL Store had over 7 pairs in the back held for themselves and friends to buy.
A DM came during the release.. Surprise visit and Made all 7 pairs available to public -
You should have seen the look on the FTL workers faces………..priceless!
That store was on Watch for maybe 3 weeks after that… then it went back to the same Ol' dealings -

yea exactly a DM can suspend/fire any staff over that on the spot
DM will sometimes purposely show up on days raffle winners are chosen just to make sure its done correctly

Do you have the numbers on all the 34 st stores yet or its too early
Last year all the major 34 street shops gave out tickets for pairs.
No raffles

Yea FNL got hit with something similar on the HOJ release on the unclaimed pair. The dumba** manager telling (a friend, I guess) when the shipment for the sports blue 3 coming in front of everybody. While his friend was somehow a raffle winner.....
Now you can see the list of how many pair is left. A big shot wanted the rest of the pair once everybody got there's and the manager is lying to his face saying they have no more.
As I'm walking out the big shot say he's going to call cooperate on his ***. 2 weeks later cleared house of the men. All women and a new young guy.
It all works in cycles though. New employees, managers new backdoors or front door in one of my FTL case, they asking for it, get fired then hire a new batch to do the same thing all over again. Lol

no not all as of yet
but HOH 34th street is allocated 800 pairs as of right now(just mens)
for a comparison they were allocated 400 pairs of sport blue 6's this past august
also reason i say as of now is because a store with that volume can have additional pairs allocated after the initial allocation closer to release date
which is why sometimes stores that did raffles you can sometimes walk in and ask if they have any and you will get the "depends what size you need" response its because they got additional pairs allocated AFTER raffle was closed
also NJ heads menlo park and woodbridge will be allocated 3-400 pairs aswell
not sure about cherry hill as of yet
as for 34th stret stores doin guarante tickets its at their discretion
but will probably do the same thing as raffle calls would take FOREVER

If JB is doubling up this year, I can't wait for the IG humor. Boys going to be like them boys in china having 25, 50, maybe 75 pair spread out across their living room floor with their kid peaking in the box. Legend Blue's for sale. FTL pre orders going to be rapid. Blk/infrared and Columbia is going to be entertaining.
