I dunno man.
There's not much money to be made on these...
unless you've bought in bulk (like 15-20+) or plan to sit on them for a couple years

Nah man.
Just like everything else in life, if you want something, do work and go get it.
It's obvious that a decent amount of people thrived while others did take L's. This is how the game goes. I really do hope and wish that everyone that wanted a pair got one.
But I guarantee you that for this release, there is a very strong correlation between the effort you put in to grab a pair and your success rate.
Ranting because you didn't get something that you felt you were naively entitled to (for whatever reason) is pointless

So is this your resell site or something?
Nike has been doing this for a lot longer than Adidas

These moved quickly here in NYC. By 10am all sizes were pretty much gone. My local footaction surprisingly had more pairs than both FTL flagship & HOH stores.
I was lucky enough to triple up.
Coupons were unfortunately excluded. but still worth retail tbh.

this. thread didn't really start popping off until they released in the morning. then everyone started scrambling. but there were a few links posted earlier in the morning before the big drops and the in store jig was known if you visited the thread in the past few weeks.

Disadvantages to living in New Orleans: we don't get anything really sought after-like if it's not a GR, you prolly got no shot.
Advantages: food, liquor, secondlines, and every foot store here getting them and nobody wanting them except for you. View media item 2403739

I got a 10 locally but need a 12.5-13. I am pretty sure the employees at FTA were holding pairs and most likely my size

Feel like there was plenty of opportunities on here/links posted. If you didn't cop it's cuz you didn't try and assumed it would be very easy. Or you just recently became really interested in them because the hype

I wouldn't say online was an easy an easy cop unless you were loading sites at the exact time they dropped but if you did your hw and knew where to go then an in person cop was easier.
Dudes that just woke up today and decided they wanted them slept but if you were planning on these and missed out then let 'em vent

You're probably right. But to me, not to the extent as it has been lately. The fake sellouts seem to be happening a lot more often. Just based on what I've seen, no proof (obviously). In my opinion, there is no way there will not be a strategically placed restock in the near future.

Slept in and got lucky, grabbed the last size available, which was my size at 4pm!! Phew..
