i like it when u can earn your sneakers like a man by camping,rsvp takes the fairness out the hobby.Now that nike wants to screw ppl over the ny gun incident no kids are getting he db 8s.in fact,the price on ebay has skyrocketed for gs and mens.A raffle is a sham.I hope 21 mercer is fcfs ,i dont mind taking off work and being a warrior.its kinda fun until knuckleheads ruin it

These shoes are for charity,so yeah i dont mind taking off work to support the kids who entered a contest just to design the shoe,and ultimately become sneaker legends.each kid is very sick and the shoes are often very creative so i dont mind camping a day or 2.

Never felt like camping made me more of a man. I felt like a big a** kid if anything standing outside in the cold, almost getting sick and skipping work for a pair of sneakers. To each their own, but IMO, being a man is taking care of priorities before a pair of Jordans.

I have a job,and i dont mind camping.camping isnt for kids.why u think the ppl from wisconsin invaded nike chicago?because wisconsin is a state known for camping,cold and warriors.it takes heart to camp ,especially in this weather.i respect the camper more than the atc bot user

camping is overnight generally,at the max 2 days of rotating and other secret maneuvers.

Solution: Nike does a pre order that supplies all of the demand.. and that will kill resellers.

Trust me...I'm all for donating.
The DB shoes always are my favorite release for two reasons. One, as a "collector", it's JBs longest running "special edition" line. The BINs dropped off quick, the packs are usually seasonal or anniversary dependent, and I really don't see the LAB series taking off. I still regret not getting the 2s when they first dropped, because I didn't think the line would pick up steam. I loved the concept, but really didn't like the design of the shoe, so passed. When the 1s came out the next year, grabbed a pair and haven't looked back. By the time I realized the line was there to stay...the 2s were hard to find in my size w/o paying an arm/leg.
Secondly, SHADINESS/GIMMICKY/MARKETING SCHEMES ASIDE, the shoe DOES contribute to OHSU. Does is directly and as much as Nike/JB makes it out to be, probably not. Does it help their bottom line @ the end of the year when they're using it as a tax deduction, yes. Does it create hype to sell the next model, yes. I get it...anyone w/ common sense does. Still doesn't mean that their contribution to the hospital doesn't help/happen.
I have a special needs child, who benefits from hospital's like OHSU. He has 3 insurance plans (one from my company, one from my wife's, and a state insurance plan due to him being disabled), and there are test/procedures/exams/medications that STILL are not covered, and we have to come out of pocket for. Fortunately for my son and family, we are able to provide him what he needs...not everyone is as lucky. Not only do hospitals/organizations help with the research and development of treatment of the children they are providing for, they also help with grant/POS/private contribution based funding of the things they need their insurance won't cover, and their families can't afford. I've seen families benefit from these types of donations, and it really does make the difference in getting a child a therapy he might not normally be able to afford. Would it be better for Nike to just dump more cash into their pocket than utilizing it for their own benefit in terms of marketing/PR/product placement...probably, but they're a big business, and big business doesn't operate that way. They fact they are at least donating something, is better than not.
On top of it all, it gives these kids who are struggling through quite a bit something positive to focus on, and help with morale. It's more than just dollars/cents. If the design/project helps a kid feel better for a bit...I'm all for it. They didn't do anything to deserve what they're going through, and anything to brighten their spirit is great. They get to be rockstars for awhile, and I love it.
*steps off soapbox*
If you really want to camp for the kids...work an overtime shift instead and send in a donation. Will be more effective, and you'll feel better about it. If it's just about the shoes...do what you gotta do.
Still looking forward to Sun and failing miserably. Hoping to find a decent price close to Xmas.
