Back then, all skateshops shipped. I think NIKE urged them to do phone orders cause they were losing money.
It wasn't until the Denim's dropped that the hype caught on IMO....
Anyone remember FAIRMAN's? Copped sevreal pieces from them courtesy of BAM !
I agree, 1st set did sit for some time because there was little hype/communication around the SB line. Hype started building because word spread and Nike SB was producing some pretty limited numbers. The skateshop I started going to(and still go to) got their SB account just before the October 2002 release. Became very friendly with the manager who told about some of the Nike SB restrictions. Not so sure set 2 sat on shelves (at least not at the shop I went to). I remember going to the shop a couple of days after them came in and couldn't get any of the colors in my size. Hype took off from there.....denim release was hyped beyond belief.
I sadly passed several times.
