I work near Hollywood so I had to make the call to someone local or I'd be in the same boat as you fam
I was like F*it, and decided to take a drive to NTSM got there in 45 min.Traffic was not that bad and got my size 11.
Just to confirm, we will have them available for sale on our website and over the phone tomorrow morning at 5 AM PT/6 AM MT/7 AM CT/8 AM ET.Originally Posted by Marv Machamp

It's getting to be too much at this point, Nike can't get their releases right. Just make enough damn pairs for everyone, then you'll truly see who buys sneakers because they like the sneakers as opposed to liking the hype.
Not wasting a tank of gas and valuable time, not worth it, IMO.
No knock, but people are just too happy to bendover and oblige to all this nonsense.
You're right, this is too much work just to reserve a pair. People were camping out 3-4 hours to simply get a wristband.Not only that, but they always do the wristbands at some random time in the day, as if we have no job or other obligations that we can just head over the store like sheep and line up for their shoes. I will be trying my luck online at 5 am and if I strike out, will go to my nearby retailer and try to cop a pair.
I feel everything you posted here but 15+ years is a long time to wait for a colorway to retro. I'd waste time and gas for that.Originally Posted by ooIRON MANoo

I wear a 12 in everything but ended up getting a 11.5 in the playoffs b/c I felt like my feet were swimming in the 12s.
