never seen so many people signed up for a raffle (a couple of stores even has long lines
) since the bred 11 holiday release a few years back

Yup. Even the lower end foot locker around me. Got close to 20 pairs of these.
While HoH's got upwards of 120+ pairs.

Well said but that average person really don't mean much with the new marketing strategies. Maybe 6 or 7 years ago. But with at least 4 releases a month I would say the new age "sneaker head" means more to nike's bottom line then that 60 year old guy who walks around the mall. I mean without all the business jargon would you agree that more pairs sold is the best business.

They were pretty chill on Saturday morning.
They are probably bent from people constantly asking "how many pairs did you get in?, can you hold me down?, would you resale right now for $XXX amount?" etc.

Hahaha I just checked with the gf and she said it was almost 50. I'll say this though, it taught me what my time is worth. For an extra hundred bucks I would gladly not visit a single store, spend money and time driving around, etc.
The reality is there will only be a handful of shoes this year and any other year that are really that must-have and hard to get. Everything else is back to being a joke if you have a credit card on release day.

Numbers look good nationally, but the fact that Portland only had one footlocker (the HoH) get them makes me nervous. SNKRS and the footsites felt like a good fall back until the draw was announced yesterday.
After a mess up at Niketown Portland the manager promised me a pair a few weeks back, but flaked out after realizing what shoe this was... She even pulled the launch coordinator over and he told her what was she was doing and she still was saying "I don't care, reserve him a pair." of course a couple days later someone (not the manager) calls me and says "my manager says we can't actually do that." After that whole ordeal I don't feel like going down there unless they do the online raffle.
That being said getting ready for paying resale on these, even though these are a GR I am not confident.

And here I was thinking this was going to be an easy cop...not feeling too sure about that now.
I'm going to be in Santa Barbara on launch morning. Anyone have shops they recommend that might have them in the state street area? If not I'll be doing all online and hoping for the best.

These FCFS are going to be brutal. 300 people put in raffle for one of my local stores that only have 18 pairs. That mean maybe......18 winners. So where you think those other 282 or more people going to be to get those 100+ pairs at HOH. Plan accordingly

Nice. I went to the two around me. Got around the same amount in each spot. Plenty for employees and customers. Lol.

Yeah to those doing FCFS-PLEASE be safe! If you are successful, don't hang around longer than you have to and be aware of your surroundings.

See that's exactly why I posted that on here . Go in there today they're doing the raffle today their liars. I called corporate on them because I went in yesterday and they told me to come back today . Today I call and they tell me the raffle was yesterday I then told her what happened and she told me to come in and she would sign me up on the list . When I got there other people were signing up.
When I asked her why other people are signing up today she said the raffle is open today now

Can't explain this too ppl just a dead horse being beat. Any time there is a release like this just like Royals were still limited don't care about no allocation map. I know this game already to ask every #Og release like this one how will it be. You can just feel the hype even if nobodies talking. Every #Og that pass on stuff are in full Robocop mode for these
