What did you expect? It would be interesting for a professional statistician to do the mathematics and tell us the odds of you getting 1 of the 23 pairs that were released online. I don't care if your order went through: You should already know that it doesn't mean anything. Nothing is promised. There are no guarantees until the product is in your hand and the ownership has officially been transfered. Laid back tactics gets you laid back results: online sitting on your gluteus maximus participating in the Jordan XX3 Premier Credit-Card-Info-Data-Input Olympics. Really!? And you're complaining.
You can't complain if you haven't given it 110%. Should've went for the knockout rather than leaving it to the judges for the decision. Some of these complaints in this thread are extra.
Wow. You must not be aware that some people, actually most, cannot go to the stores to get these. They have jobs, school, too far, too cold., etc. I'm sure there are more reasons than I can even think of why people can't go to get these. Not to mention, online is the ONLY way for a lot of people to have a chance to get these including myself. So if these or any other shoe only came out on the west coast, your saying I'm lazy( laid back) cause I didn't want to drive all the way to cali from michigan to get a shoe and instead tried my chances online???? I agree that there is a tremendous amount of complaining but this is what Jordan Brand gets for making a shoe even more limited than the first premier. Also, this IS the jordan thread and complaining is allowed. If you don't like the complaining, don't read the quotes.
I'm not telling anybody or you what to do (i.e. stop complaining). I'm just making a point: Ya'll are excessively complaining and beingunrealistic with a false sense of entitlement. NikeTalk can complain all it wants; I just want to help bring this part of NT back down to earth andbalance/smooth it out.
Some more points I would like to clarify: It's not that you CANNOT go to the store. You're fooling yourself again. You CHOSE not to go to the store. You could go, right? You could take off from your job (like I did), school (even though most schools are out for Winter Recess), travel far and wide (which Ialso did), or cop a bigger coat! You just CHOSE not too...which is cool. You apparently have your priorities straight by design or, more often the case thennot, by default. By the way, I took off of work to go home to NYC as an opportunity to be with fam for the holidays, hang and bang some of my NYC breezieswaitin' for me to come back in town, and cop these Premier Finales that we all very-much-so desired.
I never said you/ya'll were lazy. Just said ya'll ain't give it 110%. You don't have to drive, baby. Cop the flight. Yes, you should'veflew to the nearest spot or the spot that you felt had the best chances of letting you cop. That's what I did: I flew 905.08 miles to NYC when Icouldv'e just went to a way closer location. Bottom line is a lot of people are making excuses for themselves and are blaming and pointing the finger atNike and a number of others. Look in the mirror and ask what you could have done to get the results you wanted. Be responsible! Feel free to ventilatethough: It's healthy. By no means was I saying complaining is not allowed. Just saying some of ya'll are complaining and damn near practicing hatejust because you aren't in the game. Look in the mirror and see what you are becoming. Bottom Li'zine.
