IMO, I think this will be the hardest/craziest release out of all 3.

Exactly...first release is always the most hype...look at the Spiz'ikes...these will be referred to as the OG Kanyes in time, because theywere the first colorway...

So, I waited since 6pm last night for the Yey's at Inglewood Millennium Shoes. The line was cool and I met some good people. When they started selling, itall went downhill. You were only allowed to buy your size!! Dude was making people try on the Yey's before buying them to make sure that they only boughttheir size. So if you are a size 8 coppin a 13 is a no no. I can't remember how many pairs they sold but it was definitely less than 10 pairs. I am reallymad at the store's tactics. I know for a fact that there was a VIP list for these, I got proof! If you waited all night and you're near the front ofthe line you should be able to cop regardless of the size. Some people want to trade for their size others want to just be able to get a pair but #%@ like thisruins a lot!! I dropped a lot of money at this store because Inglewood Sports closed down and I was just trying to support a new legit spot in the community.Now, I am not shopping there at all!!!!! I boycotted Inglewood Sports after the new ownership crap went down because they were disrespectful to theircustomers.


anyone know if this also happened at the slauson millenium shoes?

I'm just gonna give the cliffnotes right off the bat:

- Showed up on Friday at 5 PM. There were about 6 people ahead of mine & JKilla's group.
- I asked the girl of a dude in front of me to buy me and extra pair for a $40 tip.
- They let people in the store, 1-by-1.
- Pairs ran out before JKilla got a chance to cop, so I sold him my extra pair at retail, because he was nice enough to bring me along. (

)
- There were only about 12 pairs sold. High Point needs to get their #+++ together.

- My dude Adrian Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals was chilling at the cash register of the store. (He owns it.)

These pics are from High Point's blog.

I'm in the green hoody and JKilla is in the gray hoody, sunglasses, and Vs.

At this point, the manager came out and announced that there were only 3 pairs left. Dude on the right in the glasses looked like he was about to shoot up theplace.

My girl here in the Ed Hardy hoody smoothly gave my extra pair to JKilla when she left the store, leaving the back ofthe line real salty.

People on the right of the picture showed up at 8 AM. Talmbout "Are you selling?" when I left the store.

I used his ^ girlfriend to get me the "extra pair".

Ready to do it all over again next month.

[Lì Qí]

I'm going ot chill on the blacks and wait for the tans, June right?

 

[jphonix]

y'all really think they're gonna fall to around $4 - 500 on average?

apparently only 2000 of the 3000 are on this continent, so they are pretty limited.

If you're referring to a store then call Motive807.


Lol I know, I was wondering if anyone got them from Motive807 because I wanted to know if it was crazy or whatever

I'm definitely camping for the black pair at either LDRS or STA
To those that copped the gray pair, how do they fit? True to size?

They really fit a .5 size bigger.

 

[bluprynt78]

Still looking for an 8 or 8.5 to WEAR!!! Looking to pay a lil above retail for anybody that wants to help another NTer out. Yeah you could make a few hundredmore but you also make someones day!!! The choice is yours!!!

think you're gonna find there ain't that much love around here like that...

 

[b fr3sh]

i got my pair, waited in line for 6 hours, not bad compared to how long most of yall waited

the philippines is definitely stepping up in terms of sneaker releases lately
i was forced to cop a half size down, which fit perfect, so im guessing they run a little big

I was saying the Black/Pink pair will be the craziest release. But thats just my opinion.

Yeah, a couple people arrived from Slauson Millennium Shoes and told us what went down. The story goes, they had a long line and they sold onlyfive pairs!!! Most of the stock was sold to their "VIP's", once again, stupidity!

I've been an NT'er for too long and I don't understand why we support these stores after they blatantly lie to our faces about these type ofreleases. You would think Nike would be a little more selective about which stores they choose to sell their important releases. It's not like the streetsdon't talk when it concerns how stores handle big releases. I think NT BH and Proper has handled big releases quite well. I still remember when MillenniumShoes bungled up the black/red Laser IV release. Apparently nothing has changed since then.
