I heard in person from sjs that the pickup was later in the month - . I’m gonna be in Paris next week, hope I can pick up around Europe while I’m there.
the official raffle schedule for “The Ten” proceeds as follows: On October 27th is the Air Jordan 1 and Blazer; October 29th is the Presto and Air Max 90; October 31st, is the Hyperdunk; November 2nd is the Zoom Fly and Vapormax; November 4th is the Air Force 1 and Air Max 97. Missing from “The Ten” is the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star. After the raffle is all said and done, winners will be able to purchase shoes on November 9th.
I don’t think they’re backdooring, to me it seems like these stores are getting instructions from Nike to keep the releases in store raffle only. Since SNS and SVD usually do online raffles for all huge release regardless of how limited they are (Tom Sachs is a great example)
Imagine it would work the same as the way the footstores does its in-store pick up. When entering the raffle you select your store pick up location, and if you win that's the spot you would pick up from.

... here's hoping this means there will be a city-specific and broad draw for them.
