^ Well I don't know if it's so much that Sheik lost their JB account as it is they lost their limited JB account. But we will see what happens. Either way you put it San Diego sucks for limited J's. I can't believe a city of our size and buying power can't gain a few more urban accounts. I mean New York must have hundreds if you read through the Jordan pages on Niketalk.

co-sign to what dennis said...you cant compare NY to SD. When you compare the demand here in SD, it wont even be a dot compared to the one they have in NY, you cant even compare it to LA.
Shoe heads in SD didnt really get big until after the "SB era" started IMO. I remember when i just moved here back in 2000 and it wasnt hard to pick up and Jordans or even when SB started. I dunno about other cities but i was able to pick up retro's up to 2 weeks maybe more...after release.
Anyways. Does anyone here know how the Green Bean V's release went? I know i was able to pick up my pair saturday afternoon. I wasnt really planning on buying one...and ended up buying 2 pairs
so much for quitting.
check the sig if you need one...

^ So then is that officially the only store in San Diego even getting them or did they say other Sheiks were too.
And I know New York is the place where the sneaker trend got started but you would think with a city as big as San Diego and with as expensive as this city has become we would get a little something. I'm not saying we need the same kind of volume as New York but when something as big as the DMP comes out and literally only four stores got them totaling only about 50 pairs, and now this comes out and it seems that only one store is getting them, that's just ridiculous. Maybe one of these days we will get a spot as cool as ******** again.
And the real funny part about this is I'm not even buying these shoes. I didn't like them back in 90 and don't like them now. Even more now because of all the hype that's around them because they are an "OG" colorway that would be looked at as nasty and variant if it was a Retro + colorway. But it's just showing me how impossible it's going to be in the future when other limiteds come out. I mean as it is right now regular Retro releases are a pain and require way too much effort. But I guess that's the price I pay for being a sneaker junkie for all these years.

Of all the Shiekhs it had to be the Plaza Bonita one.
EDIT:
Here's an update, though I'm passing on the grapes I decided to help my fellow SD peeps out. In regards to Shiekh these are the stores getting them, well according to what they said on the phone.
Escondido: 5 to 6 pairs
Horton Plaza: "I don't even know man." - Shiekh employee
Plaza Bo - "Indeed we are." - Shiekh employee
Parkway Plaza - "Call back on Friday." - Shiekh employee
Chula - 5 pairs
Carlsbad - 5 pairs
FV - "Call back tomorrow." - Shiekh employee
MV- 10 to 12 pairs
Hope that helps you guys out.
Good luck getting your pairs!

Also, why are all the Shiekh's selling their shoes at 12 in the AFTERNOON when they open at 10?
"And everybody has their own crosses to bear. Mine isn't different from anybody else's here but we all have our crosses. The point is to pick that cross up and carry it."

Probably because those who already bought their pairs are coming in to pick them up at 10:00 so it looks like they sold em on release day.

More proof to Shiekh SD's shady business.
Just got this off the "other sneaker board's" SD thread.

n8NMONSTER:
too fresh mebbe i should of got a few more for myself
i ended up getting 2 from mv as well
just so ppl know Chula Vista Mall in Chula Vista and Mission Valley Centre in Mission Valley area will be kinda low on the good sizes so best bet is to check out Plaza Bonita in National City or Parkway Plaza in El Cajon...
didn't think i'd get em but my homie pulled them out and i couldn't resist
gonna try to get another one my size for a rainy day d( ^_^ )b
I hope you're reading this JB!!!!

You guys are like little girls. I don't think I've ever even shopped at Sheikh but you treat it as if you worked at a shoe store you wouldn't want first dibs on certain shoes.
This is coming from a guy who has no clue whether he's even bought anything from there.
Thanks for putting your two cents in though.
