Man, last night... smh
First let me say congrats to those who got pairs. I Ended up pretty much staying up all night missing on NDC then driving to the mall to find a line already too big, then trying to get thru on random sites until about 11 est when I finally ended up biting the bullet and copping off MentalKicks, well I hope I did/goes thru.
Used paypal incase they are fake so it would be easy to send them back
Even if they do come thru I feel pretty bittersweet about the whole thing. Its a shame what the sneaker game has evolved into. I Can't believe all the pairs on ebay this morning. People were just waiting to come up. I dont blame THEM per se, but for someone like me who just wants a pair to rock, it certainly adds a little salt to the wound. Then seeing the news/reading stories on here, we just need to step back and put the whole thing in perspective. Kids are starving in america and we're seriously fighting over a pair of shoes? What part of the game is that?
As much as I have been loyal customer to nike, and it hurts to say, but #%#+ them. THEy KNEW ahead of time how popular these shoes would be and should have produced more. I know this would potentially take away from their 'hype creating' business model, but looking at all the chaos, was it really worth it? It would have prevented people from being beat up, stabbed, mugged, shot, pepper sprayed etc. Nike should be responsible and own the fact they carry some of the blame for the violence.
Like I said I've %$!%#* with nike since day 1, all the way back in elementary school, but they certainly could have handled this release exponentially better.

Man, what a crazy night. Thank God I was first in line. I camped solo but made friends with some people behind me. We had great conversation about sports, music, etc. We even rotated going to our cars for store runs and to get warmed up
. Then low and behold, these salty goons that were butt hurt from not being able to cop from the earlier releases arrived. Suddenly a dark cloud came over everybody in line. They were all yapping about how @#$#ed up it was that they couldn't cop them from the other stores and how they would stop at nothing to get a pair from here. We all know the type like Jay said " loud as a motorbike, but wouldn't crush a grape in a food fight. Little did they know that they were s.o.l. because a few hours earlier, the store managers passed out hand warmers to everyone. So prior to the store opening, the managers came to the door and said that only people who were in line with hand warmers could come in
. Right before it got ugly the police arrived (thank God). They let people in 4 at a time. You should have seen the salty looks on their faces when I walked out with my pair
. I don't give a damn about what people said about the prior XI releases, this was the ugliest by a mile. With all that said. I WILL NEVER CAMP FOR SHOES AGAIN. It WAS NOT worth potentially hurting someone/getting hurt for a simple pair of shoes. Merry Christmas to everyone.

They were being Sarcastic. Since the reporter mentioned should Michael Jordan do something. His comment about Mj selling from his house is just saying if Jordan was directly involved in this chaos. Best believe he would so something different. Very valid point. You must be whiteOriginally Posted by WhatsLosinLike

I'll just say I've never in my life witnessed something as crazy as this. I collected shoes in college to wear and I never had a problem getting any shoe. Now, this thing has just turned into foolishness. I will never understand why people drop nearly $200 on a shoe to sell and make MAYBE $100-$150. I thought shoes were to wear.
I was at a mall yesterday where there was a stampede to the door because it was about the 3rd or 4th time they told people to line up and leave. Then there were 6 doors that could be opened and they only wanted to open one thus creating further chaos. The police asked people to move to the side and I was one of the few who listened. It was a good thing because they maced/pepper sprayed people to get them to form a single line (which ironically still didn't happen).
After that I got back in line only to be let in AFTER the people who stampeded and didn't listen. I get in the mall and was told there were no more 8.5 or 8 anything and to wait on the side. Then I was told by the Champs manager "well Footlocker will have your size but you have to get in the back of their line". Someone who left the line gave me their size 8 so I said ok maybe i'll try it on and see b/c my 01 breds are an 8.
After waiting another hour I get in the store and at the register I'm told I can't try on the 8. BUT there's an 8.5 sitting on the counter (this is AFTER they said I was the last 8 anything). I asked if I could have that one and they refused and said I can only get what's on my ticket (an. Then I was told you can't try the shoe on and it's no refunds or exchanges. I'm like wait this is CHAMPS Sports right??? I call my spouse to see if it's worth it and this rude chick snatches the shoes and says "next in line" you're taking too long. That's when I became livid. I politely and intelligently (no foul language or anything) explained to her that disrespect is unacceptable in any way shape or form and called the DM over to the counter. He told her to go back to the stock room and leave, but I was heated.
They still didn't let me purchase the 8.5 so I left with high hopes for the 8 only to have them be a little too small-just like I suspected. I don't want to flip J's...I really just want to wear my size.
I'll def be calling corporate for all of this c o o n e r y (wait NT edits words like c o o n e r y now? LOL) and if I get anything less than my size I'm taking this to the next level. Oh and btw...I have video for leverage.
Honestly, 2011 might be the last time I purchase any Jordans. It's just not this serious anymore. If Champs doesn't clear this up responsibly I'll make sure they lose at least 100 customers and that more people on a larger scale are aware of this incident.
Wait, Are You REALLY Suprised That "!!!@%!%" Is An Edited Word Here On NT? For Being Such An "Intellectual", That Truly Has To Be One Of The DUMBEST Comments I've Seen Made On This Site In A LOOOOOONG Time
Please READ Below, And Then Realize How Rediculous You Sound................

To be honest it went down hill after Katrina. Bill White opened the city to Nawlins and that really set us back big time. We had our really bad spots (ie 3rd ward some of the 5th and others). They came and standards dropped considerably. That vid make s me sick inside. That vid is why I am TEAM FOREVER ALONE.Originally Posted by southwesthouston

I live in Houston but originally from France and i can tell you my friend that Houston is a sh^thole ! nothing but ghetto folks like that running around everywhere robbing , raping and killing and living on welfare checks that my taxes pay for from my hard work !
For those who copped, just wait till these hoodlums mess up their pairs from runing in mud puddle from being chased by the police or not cleaning them after every wear lol.

I used the twitter link, and it took 30 minutes, but got my pairs, didn't have the balls to try two different sizes. Got them in my cart, and order confirmed.
thank the gods it went through

I messed up by not securing a second pair. I had so many chances too, I always assumed I would be able to get a second one at the dozens of European sites I was surveying. If my order gets canceled I will feel like an idiot.
