There was a line of 20 of us outside (i was about 16). When the doors opened everyone sprinted to the Footlocker. Kids were falling over, 1 kids shoe fell off and he kept going. A footlocker employee brought the shoe up when she opened. When we got inside to footlocker there were already 5 people in line that somehow stayed in the mall overnight. At about 5:45 a group of kids came sprinting in, thye were camped at the other entrance (fail). So the line was 40-50 deep. Store had 36 pairs as of yesterday. They open the gate and say they only have 21 pairs... 15 went "missing". They only had 2 13's and kid in front of me wore a 13 and a bunch needed 12's. Only two size 12's so I ditched the line and camped in front of a store opening at 8am. Was 2nd in line behind a Dad who was buying an 11. Once people realized they got screwed at FL everyone came to this line. They only had like 15 pairs and tons of peoples "friends" showed up and started cutting the line. When the store opened they planned on letting everyone run in, I talked the girl into allowing 2-3 at a time. Told her people would knock crap over running in and would probably break stuff if they don't get their size. Of course they have no 11.5-12 guess they "didn't get them". Got my 13 from the girl handing them out and when I went to ring up I was getting questioned. Apparently that pair was on lock, I wasn't supposed to get them but once they were in my hand no chance I was giving them back.
Think I'm going to try and do online releases from here on out. I feel too old to be camping outside and sprinting in. Everyone was young like 16-18. So i guess they have nothing better to do but I feel a little grown for this. Esp since so many people were re-selling/didn't know anything about shoes. People bragging about their collections that consists of GR shoes that came out this year. But I got my pair for retail so I'm happy.
