im still new to this (Oct. 15, 2010)...i'm a nerd about remembering exactly when i started to do something.
im 26, and started following basketball in 94 so i remember Jordan during his second run. i can remember the 11-18 releasing then i stopped paying attention to shoes after he retired cause i couldn't afford them back then.
i had trouble getting the cool grey 11s in 2010, and got them the following month for $235 shipped off "the other site". that was the first big release i tried to get.
then i got the cement 3s without too much trouble on release date...and that continued for every release until the SB 9 lebrons in 2012. i never had a problem getting a release off NDC or eastbay or finishline until then.
these days its a lot harder. you gotta know someone, or pay 100 over retail to that someone, or pay ebay prices. unless you get lucky online or in store. i easily got the cool grey 9s. found out my mall was doing tickets and was 8th in line after getting to the mall after work at about 20 minutes before. no hassle, nothing. got a really good pair too that i'll break out this summer.
i really hope i'll be able to easily get these, will be happy with one. if i dont get them, i'll just keep my 2011s. if i do, i'm giving my 2011s away.
