I know there's a few different threads on "hype" and other subjects similar, but this one is solely on the idea of "camping".
This forum is full of a diverse crowd of people, young/old, male/female so it'd be interesting to hear different sides of the coin.
Have you ever camped before? Will you ever? Why or why not?
I know back in the day people could go into a store hours after they open and purchase a pair.
But now it seems most, if not all releases, you have to line up 4+ hours for releases if you want a pair.
In my opinion, if there is hype centered around a certain release (limited quality, OG colorway, not-retro'd in a while; aka Chicago 10's) there will be people who "camp".
For me it seems that most of the "campers" are younger, but are there any older NT'ers, say 30+ that still/will "camp" for a release?
There's some releases coming out this year (Gold Medal Pack/Bred 11's) that almost certainly require "camping", unless you do your homework beforehand.
With all that said, once again, just discuss how you feel about this and whether or not it is "Killing the game" or something that adds to the "appeal" of it.
