These are insanely available compared to Bred/Banned 1's. 24 ish FTL locations in the Bay Area + Stockton, Fairfield, Tracy and Modesto. I even had 20 stores on the reservation app to pick from including Eastridge - San Jose who never gets anything hyped.

By the way, I believe Eastridge Sheikh is closed down. Just swung through to enter SP raffles. All non mall Shoe Palace locations are FCFS. Bascom, Tully, North Capitol, etc.

View media item 2382631
Edit: Spoke to Tully SP. Both Tullly & Bascom are live raffle Saturday and North Capitol is Sunday Live raffle.

Yep, was shocked that eastridge was shut down when I went this evening. I asked about it at champs and they said they were just gone one day, and some dude was supposed to start working there and didn't know they shut down, he just showed up to no job. [emoji]128557[/emoji]
I got three tickets at the 2 shoe palaces at eastridge.


Also, that shade palace on Capitol told me "they didn't know what they were doing till Friday". I hate those guys, it's always so....shady.
 
 
I am debating on if I am going to do raffles, I never win and I don't feel like wasting my time
I usually win at least 1, but i went to one store today and got a ticket and said F it. Went home lol. Online or bust
 
whats up with the @ thing? is it supposed to alert me about a message im mentioned in?

because i dont ever see any notice or nothing on the screen that tells me

On desktop it does? Used to also message or email but I turned that off years ago

I never know when someone @ me so I prob look like an *** when I never respond :{
 
damn..just realized I declined signing up for VIP club when I bought some space jams at HoH last week. this was before I got the app..

is it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to hit if you don't have 10 minutes?

It really depends on stock to be honest. A buddy of mine hit on those Oreo Yeezys with only a 7 min (or whatever it was with just VIP + check in) at Footaction. Obviously after winning the Oreos and Top 3's he became a platinum star club member.

But if you select locations with low inventory, there's a chance you're screwed. Your best bet is to apply for store with MASSIVE inventory so the sneakers can eventually get to you after the people with 10 min gets their pairs.

That place is shady, no doubt.
They said on the banned release, they had folks camped out and the line was around Jamba and in the back of the building. :{

why skate in them? tons of better shoes to skate in and way cheaper...trying to "flex" or get attention?
This thread is moving sooooooo fast that y'all have prolly wayyy moved on from this. But um...with all due love and respect froston21? F what you talking bout G. If I can get two pairs one will be my new skate shoes FOR SURE and certain. Plus there's this gem that was posted in 2013 Black/Royal thread: 

Dawg it's hella Air Jordan 1s in this skate video. So um...nothing flexy about skating 1s at all. 
 
I know old heads skate in 1s but my era is all about the eS accel and reynolds 1...johnsons


I'd freak out if emerica brought those jems back
Repped. Same for me and the shoes common around my way with the kids. I really just skate in Jordans because I just learned last year @ 29(late, I know...but it was a pre-30 life crisis), and  told myself I'd beat some of the shoes I have before spending money a new pair. So now with this in tow, and the history of skating with AJ1s....I figured I'd get a pair to beat up on the board.

When I called they said they would do a live raffle Sunday morning [emoji]129300[/emoji]
I asked to speak with a manager she said as of now they were doing a live raffle at 10am. I said that's when u guys open so will u give out tickets before? She said ya. I said what time, she responded uhh idk before we open? :lol
I bet it is a raffle they are just limiting the days available to the public. No way corporate told them to do that a day after the release :{

^that's good self control lol.  I've entered so many raffles that I think I'm going to win more than I need in my size.  FOMO will kick in and I'll end up picking up all my pairs lol

This 2013 thread funny compared to this one: http://niketalk.com/t/519529/official-air-jordan-i-retro-black-royal-thread-feb-2013

There it was plenty people not worried at all because of the All Stars that also dropped last time, clowning people who got what are now steals for pre-orders, and then the limited nature caught everybody off guard....meanwhile in 2017 we all cautious as ever(maybe too cautious...yeah right...can never be too cautious). Anyway an interesting read for some of you NTers. NT is funny/awesome.
 
dumb question, is there any type of location prioritization in these apps or is it a random store it selects. I have 10min HS and I'm really close to a store that I've hit on before for some releases and would rather be able to pick up there rather than drive for 45 mins to pick up...but i will if needed

Got these last year again....beat about 5 pair down early 2000s

Wore my Reynolds 1 last Saturday. Ive had this pair since they came out in the early 2000s. I skated in 2001 Breds I picked up at the outlet but the Reynolds 1 was my fav skate shoe of all time. I took a lot of crap for wearing these all red shoes back when they came out. Nowadays all red shoes have all the hype. Who would of thought

Props for the skating at your age. I'm 42 and yeah, love 1s cause of bb and all that. Plus these came out when I was 10, and I was bummed I never got em as a kid.
 
If anyone can point me in the right direction on where to make a straight trade with these for banned 1's it'd be much appreciated.
 
I'm copping as many pairs I hit on, if I win 1 raffle 1 pair will be copped! Limit 4. Retail or bust! All for me too

I didn't know I had like minded NTers so close to me. If you guys wanna go to the live raffle and meet up send me a PM (not sure if I'm going yet).
