Seriously... I need those Medium Curries and haven't hit on SNKRS for the past couple years...
Haven't hit on any raffles/Early Access lately either and wonder if it's even worth trying sometimes.

thats a yikes bordering on 'son have ya lost ya damn mind, because i'll help ya find it'. you're in the wrong place to be asking for bots and then calling someone else crooked in response to them telling you to **** off with that wack ****.I guess you either own the crooked skate shop or work for snike lol

You just have to put in the work. And it's usually not enough. I feel like I know all of the tricks, and I've been real lucky lately - but still got completely shut out on Supreme's. And the only time I've EVER hit on a non-SB Dunk was early-access from Nike on UNLV's.

I've loved shoes my whole life and, growing up, I had to be selective about what I got because my family just didn't have the money to buy the shoes I really wanted.
Instead, I got a pair of Payless specials or something off the sale rack every year or two and had to pretend it didn't bother me going to school and seeing other kids with the pairs I wanted so badly but couldn't attain...
It sucks now that I'm grown up, have a bit of disposable income, and still love shoes, Nike pulls this BS with artificial scarcity (which they've always done to some extent) to the absolute, unsustainable extreme.
I feel like not much has changed from those early years where I could see the shoes I wanted firsthand (or now on IG/NT), but just didn't have the access due to things out of my control.
Luckily, I can afford resale on the Curry Lows (and will probably get them regardless if I strike out Monday and prices are in the $250-300 range), but I can't in good faith spend resell on each shoe I want when everything drops secretly/via raffle, sells out instantly, and resale is immediately $300+ on everything, including ~$100 GR garbage...

Man, I really wanted the Instants and Doraemons. I'm a big fan of the JP inspired dunks so I'll always want to go for those. There's one skate shop that carries them and their raffles are b.$.. The owners a sneaky dude so I don't bother since I get those vibes. The other shop is like 90 miles away so I'm s.o.l. when it comes to local raffles.
Think you mentioned Premier. I bought from them before, but I'm not a frequent buyer. Maybe I need to spend more to get into their tier, but then it's probably the same as CCS with their CCS+ raffles lol.

It really is about putting in the work. Know your locals, know how they operate and give your patronage to the ones that do things right. That doesn't mean showing up to shops only for hyped releases with your hand out. Make it a routine to stop in, shop around, chat with the employees, buy their merch and rep them. Buy non-hyped gear from them. Be an authentic human, build a relationship, and they might look out for you.
Be apart of a community. imo that's what this hobby is about, not just hoarding shoes.

But not everyone has local places releasing stuff like that. I've been lucky in the past to live a couple miles from Premier, but after moving to a similar sized city in the South, I've realized those types of shops are few and far between.
Most sneaker "shops" here are either resale shops with higher prices than StockX or mall places like FTL, FNL, etc. There are no local SB accounts or skate shops that are carrying Dunks around me (closest would be 2+ hours away), which means online (getting lucky or paying resale) is really the main option for me and most other people.
I agree with you about the community though, it's just hard to form those relationships if those people/places don't exist around me/others... Which is kinda why NT exists...
