Nah $500 total on top of the price of the shoes.

Can you point out one store that was on the map, but the local store actually isn't getting them? Unless you talked to an air head employee (pun intended)...seems like half the workforce at some of these stores sometime.
Thanks for the info. A lot of important detail are missing. You mention some stores in NY and NJ. What part of the state? What stores? FTL, FNL, NT or mom/pop joints? Someone mentioned F23 store in Chicago as having near hundreds of pairs. Also, hard to say GR or nah based on numbers per store I think. The maps show almost double the number of spots of previous OG1 releases. Even if there are few per store. Total number I think will come out higher. I can understand the flood of raffles. That might mean hard to cop, but might mean nothing for the resale if most people are doing raffles are just resellers who couldn't care less about the shoes. They are going to try to unload them at the end of the day so it will depend on how many genuine buyers there are which is a pretty limited world when it comes to 1s.
I would like to know as well.
Nike has been upping the price and producing more. Sure, some releases sit, but JB has seen climbing sales and profit for a while now. In the past the numbers were smaller and the prices were lower. They have come a long way and they aren't going back. Nike is doing the best they can to maintain hype, but squeeze out resellers. Best way to do that isn't to lower the price. To keep producing high numbers and changing the design closer to OG to keep people coming back. Also, as far as shoes sitting. Lets be honest up until year of the 7 the releases have done fairly well. I predict next year and after would have still been slow because those aren't most loved Js anyways. I am not a fan of JB increasing prices, but what can you do. There is only one JB and one MJ. I am quite happy that adidas is stealing shine away and that'll put Nike on its toes and try to compete harder. Just keep the production numbers up so at least we don't have to give fat fat profits to leaches on ebay. Thats mutually beneficial to us and Nike.
Oh Sak back?he just came back today wtf he gone again??
Just one pair mostly as a trade for '13 if the resell reaches that high. I doubt it will. If not, then everyday beaters and bust '13 from time to time.
Are you trying for these ?
Oh I know that happens. But FTL ain't FTL without that level of incompetence. But cases where it shows on locator they are getting pairs, but then never do when you go to the store. A lot of mis-information to go around. From forum posters and store employees when you call them.There will be cases where the locator will say FCFS, but actually will do a raffle. Ran into that twice today.
You can't even say one store in small town/city is getting X pairs when usually they get Y pairs for an OG1 release. CIA employees aren't this secretive. lol! Unless people you work with know your account on here and could get you exposed. I understand.I don't like to give out specific location numbers just to avoid potential let's say issues arising from it...
But don't let the fact it's in more stores trick you into thinking ohh more pairs
All that was done was pairs were more spread out to be honest which does help people's chances as its not like 1 location in someone's state gets flooded forcing everyone to go only there
Now they have 3 options for example to sign up and it raises people chances as not everyone will hit 3 locations granted many do but not all
So a little help is still help lol
As far Nike profit upswing I can't argue it too much
But people forget Nike makes a killing off wholesale to 3rd party such as footlocker finish line etc...
And hats pure profit and stock Nike doesn't have to worry about selling as its already sold
Most don't know this but a store with a Nike account has to maintain a wholesale purchase rate of 40-50K per month to maintain holding an account with Nike
This can be varied higher or lower depending of the type of store
Mind you its not like all of that is fire releases lol
And if you can't sell it guess what Nike says
**** you pay me new month couldn't move the product? That's your problem
That's why you see stores over years close its doors
Can't maintain the pressure over head etc..
Especially on a slow release year and if it's crappy on top of that and they have to mark down
It can be brutal
@vampire xtc
You think FTL would take one stores Stock of Bans and send them to a bigger FTL store
Reason I ask, today Mgrs in multi FTL stores had Mixed answer on their stock.
One spot said they were told they wouldn't get any GS pairs but the mgr says she had GS pairs on her shipping Manifest. If they came no raffle FCFS
but another spot who did raffles tickets in the AM were told mid-afternoon they wouldn't be getting any pairs per their District Mgr
but they had pairs on their shipping Manifest???
how does that even work?
Doing my raffle runs at the two closest malls tomorrow.
I only need one pair.
Probably Bayfair and Southland.which malls are you going to?
i'm located in the bay also
This is why I'm not optimistic about winning any of the raffles I entered lol.Ok, got a buddy of mine doing raffle calls and will choose my name.
Now to just wait it out. Might just camp for the hell of it and try to get one to stock.
good luck fellow bay peeps. I'm too lazy/busy to drive out so I'm hoping I eat at Sunvalley
Probably Bayfair and Southland.
you don't put your name on there ?
Worst Raffle is ShoePalace
You just fill the ticket out n leave...
No proof of nothing
and if you miss the call, On to the next person
Hopefully minus the peeRip Juan Gabriel.
All my Mexicans and other Latinos know what's up.

I remember when I heard *** for the first time on Married with Children. Thought we were doing it big then lol. Kidding aside, they say **** now on "regular tv"? I'll be honest, I don't really watch TV unless it's a sport event. I actually got rid of cable and buy Vue/Slingbox during football season and do without the rest of the year.Its allowed now since TV started allowing it.Cuss filter off?SNKRS is gonna be a SHlT SHOW
Hungry Howies. That's the spot when you're on a pizza budget. Haven't had them in like 5, 6 years when I lived in Mobile, AL. Big ups to Foosackly's to anyone in Mobeezy.
*fixed after 23 Penny gets a hold of inventory lol. Someone may need to do another heist of his storage unitLocal HOH said9020 pairs in ATL, got 6 tickets between my wife and I. If I miss out, oh well.
You not seeing the gems being dropped via @vampire xtcSo will this release be a general release or quick strike?
