They BOTH release in August, That's it. They're just showing up at skateshops. Most shops don't even know if they're getting them.^The label on the front of that box is serious!
Sorry if this has been asked before but this thread doesn't seem to be 100% on point....
What is the release info for the LEVIS x NIKE SB? Are they both releasing the same day? And what stores have been confirmed to be releasing them in the US?
It's always been like that with SB's the shops never really know they just show up. Unless it's a reputable shop like BP, but since 02 it has always been a guessing game.Yep, its been pretty inconsistent with QS's- Premiers, PH 2's- shops even claim to not know for sure now. Kinda screws resellers, but it makes it that much harder for those who really want them, Gotta wait for the word and keep checking emails just to have a chance. I cant get down with that
So yeah I think I just scored six pairs of the blue Levi's from overseas.
I'll post pics when they come in.
Shops don't know when there shippments come in or whats coming it just shows up. Then they send emails, make phone calls, or send tweets when to give you details.^ Not around here, we used to get emails from the shop 2-3 days in advance of QS releases. Now, its an email whenever they get their shipment (usually later than everybody else, and theres no advance notice- just come and get em before they're gone)
^ i'm not sure if you even read what you quoted there- but if you've been around SB's since 2002- you would know it wasnt always a guessing game (at least where i'm at) and i've only been buying SB's on release since 2007.. From my personal experience- 2007 through 2011, i always knew ahead of time and couldve got anything i wanted. Only thing i missed out on was the skunks on 4/2.0/10 because i refused to wait in a line and skip out on work for 4 hours, because they wouldnt hold a pair of those for anybody
Obviously you didn't read what you typed, because this right here agrees exactly with what I said. I guess going against the grain and living to disagree is your suit. There is no advance notice on SB's ask your local shop they will tell you they can't give you the exact day of release like say JB, because they don't have one. They have a idea of when they may come in sometimes. So when the shops tell people they don't know exactly they really don't know. You get emails after the shipment gets to them or on occasion the Rep may give the shop a heads up a day or two before shipment. Not often though. Since the days of the Bisons, Heineken's, Irons, etc. it's been the same song with SB releases^ Not around here, we used to get emails from the shop 2-3 days in advance of QS releases. Now, its an email whenever they get their shipment (usually later than everybody else, and theres no advance notice- just come and get em before they're gone)
Ask yourself this "who asked my opinion in the first place" and the answer you should give yourself is "no one". Someone made a statement about how shops claim they don't know when the Levis come in, and I gave a little bit of insight to help out. No one gives a **** about your city you nosy, condescending, bickering little *****. I've made SB purchases from Cali to ATL, and the answer has always been the same "we do not know". You show that you agree with that and somehow we end up here. Read everything you typed in this thread, and then work on that make sure it never happens again. The things dizzy ignorant people say about others are usually a reflection of themselvesDude, what the hell is your problem - NO ADVANCE NOTICE to the consumers/US/ME. I was speaking for myself, I DONT work for the shops- but i can tell you they gave US advanced notice before, and now they dont. We have an idea when, and they have a better idea when their gonna get stuff. You're stuck trying to look like some knowledgeable, genius about sneakers- i'm telling you from experience how its been in DFW. Maybe nobody ever liked you and found you as annoying as i do- so they never gave you a heads up on their release (which they could share ONCE they got their shipment) Not now, they get them in and put them out, first come first serve. Even for the derbys and cheech and chongs in 2011- they sent me an email with in-hand pictures Thursday, saying they would release them on Saturday morning at 11 (when they open). Get over yourself and stop being a "know-it-all" because you dont know the first thing about how stuff goes down in MY city. Nothing worse than some delicate genius that thinks they know better than somebody elses PERSONAL experience.
Yes I camped for about 20hours, at the time I wasn't working. We have about 6 skate shops that have a Nike SB accounts, But only 1 of them gets the QS's. So I got for $140 mark up price. Since im working again, the mother of my children is going to camp for me on this levi's release. Which is still, i dont know when. Shop told me end of this month.You camped for 20 hours? Wouldn't you rather just work overtime at your job and pay the resale price? Did u get them for 100$ box price? I won't camp longer than a few hours for a shoe but that's just me.
