Couldn't agree more. I'm old now and was trying to explain a couple of younger sneakerheads in the gym about the good old days (IMO). Using the Nike Special Orders # to track something down, or getting a heads up from people posting on NT and calling and asking them if they would ship. Had to be quick cause even if the place did ship, NT would overwhelm them and if you were late they would shut it down and stop taking orders. I remember getting B Grade Jedi SB for $49, B Grade Ice Crystals for $59, True Air Max 97s for like $50. Hell if I remember correctly a couple of people even scored What the Dunks from outlets at the time they dropped.
I remember scoring multiple pairs of B-Grade Olympic 7s (for $69.99) from a store in Wisconsin because of this thread. Called them, asked if they ship.....a few days later had several pairs at my front door. The good old days.
