Care to share? lolthat's not how i cop from spot fam
Been trying to crack the code since the lobs no luck stillCare to share? lol
I’m surprised. Never had that happen with any of my orders from them
shipped like this from seasons and the box wasn’t really beat up at all... crazy
Facts, on facts, on facts.We are in a different but tough time.
Nike basically forced so much unwanted product on skate shops that half of them closed.
Now they are trying to “support them” again.
Problem is, many are left without a local. And with shops like Premier going to locals only, it short changes some long term fans and alienates much of the population.
Then you have those that have locals but also have jobs and families. Thus, camping out overnight on a Thursday for a release like AJSB is near impossible without taking time off.
It’s awesome shops want to serve their local communities, but with no online options, how is the brand supposed to expand? Additionally, we already know some shops don’t want the hassle and either backdoor pairs, or unload on ebay or StockX to help fund the rest of their business and avoid resellers who only show up for these releases and never buy shop shirts or even nikeSB t shirts in store.
This doesn’t count those that “raffle” pairs. I see the same dudes hitting raffles on IG all day. It’s good PR, but...
I have no point here I’m realizing lol. It’s just a weird time. [\SPOILER]
Yeah I brought up similar thoughts about nike pushing the orange label agenda after years of running them out of business. Skate shops and sneakerheads have always had a tough dynamic. I don't think it'll ever be possible to satisfy all parties.We are in a different but tough time.

It’s really lame that online goto’s like Premier are supporting “locals only”. When we know that 90% of the locals winning are resellers. Meanwhile, people like me that supported the Premier’s and Black Sheep’s, and also even bigger sites like SkateWarehouse - we are left out in the cold. I’m lucky we at least have Vu in Baltimore, but they usually get one FSR - if even - that we all have to fight for.Yeah I brought up similar thoughts about nike pushing the orange label agenda after years of running them out of business.

At least it won't be an 8AM EST twitter link only release like lance mountains at least I think it was TLO, all I can remember is the 8AM EST when I was on vacation in California so 5AM PST.
no the alternates are green. I'm torn with what laces to go with, but mismatch will not be an option lol.
Who are the guys that have inside info on future skateshop orders? 9th Wonder ? Is that it for Orange Labels or are they doing more CWs in the line?

I may have already given info on another Orange Label in here..
