vamo,
I had misunderstood your post before. I thought you had said kampoutkid broke the machine and I combined that with what the girl at Niketown said to come to myconclusion. She never said Kampout broke the machine, she just said he had been there. She also said she had spoken with headquarters (at Nike) and that thePurples had won. I'm not saying they DID win, I'm saying they MAY have. In the end, I'm only relaying information I thought other board membersmight be interested in. Besides, there is nothing for me to "give up." I'm not angry about the results if the stashes win. I'm confident Iwill eventually find a pair of purple highs for the right price and if I don't, I don't. My only point, which I continue to reiterate and you continueto ignore, is that Nike is not the most reliable company. Think about how many times they have scrapped or changed sneakers or releases. I'm not trying toget into e-beef or anything like that, but it seems you are taking this much more seriously than me. All I'm saying is that the results should be takenwith "a grain of salt" as they say. To me, it seems like you just have a need to be stubborn and ignore what other people are saying. If that'sthe case, that's fine. Just don't be surprised if the results are different than you expect (i.e. anything from the stashes having different laseringthan the F&F to the purples releasing to a different sneaker or nothing releasing at all).
