L on SNKRS, online, and I don’t know what is going on with my Kith app.
Ended up with 4 pairs for the personal collection and grabbed a pair for my girl.

Not to this extentUnion 1s came with the vintaged look and people loved them
Love the pic man!
Nice. What were some of the trivia questions?Won a size 12 for a co-worker of mines at the Better Generation this morning here in Houston. Method was a ton of trivia questions. Out of all the people I asked, it seemed like I had the highest score out of all(65).
Free doughnuts and was a pretty cool experience.
What else you got that you forgot about ?
Love the story, love the morals! Someone with the stockpile, find out this MAN’s sons’ size and hit him with the oop. That is realness at it’s fullest. Props to you good sir!Love the pic man!
I'm glad for everyone that was able to cop.
Here's my personal version of the story:
***L***
***LL***
*LLLLL*
***L***
Took an L across the board today. Even though it's been an unpleasant experience at each release like this for years now, I can live with it, I'm an adult.
But, here's my son's story for today and he'd been waiting for these so bad, more than any other J ever before, more than Christmas!

Such a sad experience for a 13 year old the way things are...to experience of the dark side of shoe game when he'd been saving for about a year for these...now that he's old enough, telling me over dinner: ''dad I checked, there are some available on ebay for 525+65$ shipping...''
Re: ''No way you're spending that kind of money on shoes son!'' (which he doesn't have anyway and no matter how much you want something, it is NOT ethical paying triple the price for something. Yo Money! we're talking about shoes here! Not a house! not money for education! shoes son!)
Him:''well what should I do then? You know I really wanted to have these shoes today''
Re: '' yeah I know, I feel ya, me too, wait 2 more years son till the crazy prices come down somewhere more reasonable because it seems like Nike, Footlocker and al. doesn't want your money and there is no way I gonna let ya getting ripped off! You know some years ago, before you were born, when the first Chicago 1 retros were at the Nike outlet, I remember them being piled up on the floor right in the middle of the store and were marked down to 19.99$, no kidding and even then no one would care to buy 'em back then...myself: I didn't have alot of money as a kid so I had to chose and pass on J's even at that price!''
(I've been 'hurting in a way'' for almost 30 years now but I made the right choice back then because needed some running shoes for running track and made it to the national level later, but that's another story! So glad for those who copped today! )
So he took the L like a real Winner, but tough life lesson for a kid...just like me back then.
Actually was dope. Quick and easy process. Allowed for people to actually have to know some history to win (trivia) and not just having randoms come to get pairs for others or to resell. I liked it.Won a size 12 for a co-worker of mines at the Better Generation this morning here in Houston. Method was a ton of trivia questions.

Hey man! you're too kind just for thinking about this! I appreciate the thought! Wasn't begging for anything though...just sharing true life story with you guys as I'm sure we're not the only ones and it will resonate with many people here...should ne Nike's job to make sure they don't disappoint their future life fans right? or other merchant's selling J's as well for that matter...Love the story, love the morals! Someone with the stockpile, find out this MAN’s sons’ size and hit him with the oop. That is realness at it’s fullest. Props to you good sir!
Marcus Jordan’s dad is the GOAT.I don’t knock anybody for grabbing multiples and putting in the work. But it is quite comical when people got 4-8 pairs and say it’s for personal use or “the fam.” Just say they’re getting flipped and be real
Who the heck are y’all kidding. Unless StockX/GOAT are part of your family.
As previous stated....Love the pic man!

Awww man! thought they were yours and I was genuinely glad for you.As previous stated....
NOT MINE
I WISH
Found it online and thought it was creative.
I caught Ls and couldn't enter Draw like most.
Time to retire ....
Here’s my story….. took hella L’s like everyone else. Tried on SNKRS and that **** was a fiasco as everyone already knows. I was able to join the draw finally but 1 hour and a half after the draw I was still stuck on pending so I assumed the L and went to sleep. Woke up at around 2 and the L was confirmed lol. I didn’t even care anymore at that point I was content with my 2015‘s. I had mentally moved on. Went back to sleep.
Woke up again at 5 to a text from my ex. She was able to get me a pair through SNKRS. My girl walks in the room and she hit on SNKRS too. I went from hella L’s to 2 pairs just like that. Now I just gotta find someone to trade me a 10 for a 10.5. Crazy ****. I’m gonna give the other pair to my son.
