hrmm, seems to be the price people have paid as recently as 10 days ago.http://www.flightclubny.com/p.php?fc=ny&c=bb&sc=penny&i=040718
Am I missing something here? What's up with that price?
I agree with this. People just being able to get shoes whenever would be great, but like you said business is business and Nike is about a dollar at the end of the day. Regardless of how many people get hurt or miss out on something that should be available to everybody, money is money.My take on the whole camping/safety issue is simple, stop having release dates. Let stores sell the shoes right when they get their shipment in and don't put out a public release date. In addition to this, do a restock or two so everyone gets multiple chances. I can pretty much guarantee you that this would cut out 90% of the BS we hate about releases. However, Nike would never do this because these release dates create a buzz behind the shoe and it keeps people on social networks talking about them, which causes more and more people to buy the shoe based on that alone. Can you imagine a world where you don't need to get up just to wait in a line, or even camp out on your computer? Nike servers wouldn't crash because a million people wouldn't all be trying to buy the shoes at the same time and with restocks you could just walk into your shoe store whenever and pick up your shoe or even stock locate it if you needed to.

i believe it could work if they just said the month they release and not the specific day thats a way to create a buzz the only thing about
lesson here is: use credit/debit cards because if they steal those all they can do is buy food with your card and you can just cancel the card before any real purchases are made.

Can't work. A lot of people are young, and then you have others with bad or no credit.
so you sold them already? or you never had them?The resell prices in my area for these isn't even OD but I'm not paying a dime over 250 for these...
Sad thing is, all I was asking dudes in my area locally was 250 meet up and they were either flaking or trying to have me drive to them.
not funny bro.....Everyone should be strapped in the camp out line, when some tries to start something or cut, everyone just take shots at him, last person in line cleans up the body..
you shoulda swapped them with some1. Did you notice a color defect on your pair? im feeling like im the only person who had one, even the new ones i got have a little color problem but its not super noticable for a $240 pair of shoeOn top of that, a lot of people aren't buying these shoes with their own money. Mommy and daddy gives a lot of people the money to buy these shoes. Last I checked, they checked ID for credit/debit card purchases at shoe stores.
Yeah, sold em since they were 1.5-2 sizes too big.
The guy attempted to pull out the gun and shoot him. He got to his first and ended that. Come on my dude... He didn't noticed the guy until he was right near his truck.Do you think that "multiple hours of training in real life scenarios" is the norm?
People act like acting quickly, responsibly, and definitively when at gunpoint is a given. And, they act as if shooting somebody is no big deal either.
Your friend saved his life... but he also initiated a violent situation where one didn't previously exist.
RespectHe could have also called the police and reported the incident and never risked his life in the first place. You say that he saved his life and went back to his wife and kids, but he also chose to endanger his own life over a material possession (albeit a very valuable and important one) when he has a family at home. ...Did he have theft insurance on his car? Again, it all worked out okay for him (thankfully) in this case, but was it even a wise risk to take? At the end of the day, he risked his life in a way he would not have had he not had a gun.
And, yes, of course, there are instances when the victim complies and still gets shot. But, this discussion isn't about anecdotes - the 19 yo old, your friend, me or you - it's about increasing the odds of coming out of a situation safely. Having a gun may work in some cases - I will not argue that - but I'm unconvinced it improves those odds in the aggregate.
The other aspect to consider is what happens even if you successfully defend yourself. Most likely, there will be an investigation of some sort. So, even if you are eventually cleared of any charges, you go through a major hassle and ordeal. In a sense, that's the best case scenario. Worse, the narrative of what happened is murky or contested. Perhaps you're actually charged. Perhaps there's doubt whether your scenario fits within the "Self-defense" clause. Perhaps you have to hire a lawyer to get off and you wind up out way more money than you would have been in the first place. Perhaps, you don't get exonerated. Perhaps in the process of the investigation, you incriminate yourself regarding something else.
Maybe the person you shoot gets away and plots to get you back.
You sound like a responsible dude and all, so I'm not trying to attack you individually here. I'm just trying to give people a larger landscape of associated scenarios to consider when forming their opinion on this issue.
Even if you successfully defend yourself against a "goon" and get out of that situation without being harmed or robbed, there are number of chains of events that firing one shot could start that would lead to worse outcomes than being out a couple hundred bucks or a pair of shoes.
did u paypal cause its in canadaEvery time I goto checkout, it gives me an error.
I know my card(s) (I've tried both now) are good (not at any limit) so I'm not sure what's going on? Maybe they're soldout and that's the way of declining me? smh
