I was in Cali for this release (Orange County, to be exact). Got some tips from a few NTers on where to go for fcfs.
Showed up at like 715 at house of hoops, I was 39th on the list. They ended up having like 35 pairs. Wamp. Headed over to Bait. I was 18th in line, they had 12 pairs. Wamp.
But I was in cali so I wasn't even gonna stress about it.
Ended up picking up a pair locally in Philly via FB for 210. More than I've ever spent on 1's but it was an isolated incident and i was really spending vacation money anyway.
All in all, while I loved that cali line-up/campout weather, there are simply not enough pairs and WAYY too many people out there. Maybe it was just Cuz they were 1's? I don't know...I don't know the sneaker scene in Cali.
As I walked out of Bait, dude tried to sell me his pair of 1's for 350. I told him my boys out east are copping off ebay for under 250...whatevs.
