Yep, that's what we get, with the limited and no online BS, than they wonder why is the brand not thriving.

I'm sure those were all just true collectors spending a fortune and not even thinking about reselling
No way there's going to be anything left after 4 days! Maybe some shirts or stuff like that.. but all the shoes will be gone for sure.

FWIW, the Packers dude said they were going to save some product for tomorrow. Not sure if they will save some for online, but they told the line they wouldn't allow it to sell out today (not sure it would have anyway).I'm sure those were all just true collectors spending a fortune and not even thinking about reselling

That makes perfect sense. They obviously can't sell everything on the first day. Otherwise the store would be totally lame for the remaining days.

Stay strong. Resale prices will come down if you refuse to cave.

It was pretty terribly run. 4 people in the store at a time with one cashier.. that set up was trying to handle all the line. Staff didn't seem to mind people giving the line at the front extra cash for any pairs they weren't going to get otherwise.

Did anybody read up on the article at Sole Collector in regards to this release?
About halfway through there was one question that really stood out to me.
"Why the decision to launch everything in-store only? That seems like a deliberate attempt to bring it back to the "good old days."
I really like what token 38, Packer, and SNS have done, all the shoes look really good. BUT THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. Probably 80% or more of the dudes that lined up for these are resellers.

Bro, if they dropped 10,000 pairs there would be discussions on whether you should wait for the price to drop to $40 or go ahead and cop them at $60.
There is a right number whereby they are able to make money and the true Reebok consumer is able to cop a pair - sadly this is not it.

GrizzlyAnimal
Was the first person to hit me up when he saw that I was going to head in. I know Grizz from exchanges on NT in various other threads and IG as well. I was able to grab Shaq's for him and RTA's for another friend. But that was ALL I could lay out extra and I even brought a backup person in case.The store was cool but small. I got in around 2, in store by 3. FREEZING OUT. One of the Packer employees remembered me from copping Pump 25's in the Teaneck store. Props to that guy!
He did also say they were "capping" each days sales. So everyday was like a pseudo restock. Example...500 Shaq's over 4 days, 125 pairs per day. It had already been confirmed any left overs will be on Token38.com on Sunday.
They also let you buy 1 of each. Some dudes bought each shoe, but a lot of guys I spoke to in line were there for themselves only and 1 maybe 2 pair. Today there were a few sizes already gone...for today, but I didn't catch which shoe it was on. Here are a few quick pics...Shaq's are straight CRACK! And the RTA is identical in quality and materials as the original release.
EDIT...Pic not loading!!!!
