100K shock drop, 30K actual release…feels like they’re making sure they got a “sell out.” Still a good looking shoe though

@JamesMeyers

9 ай бұрын

Yeah kinda interesting how they treated this release

I hit on the shock drop and had exclusive access at JD Sports, so I let my friend get a pair for himself. When we met at the Pittsburgh area mall, the Snipes across from JD Sports had a line waiting to get the 8s. We stopped by after securing my friend’s pair and Snipes said they only had a handful of 8s left in smaller sizes. I’m not sure these will be sitting anywhere from what I’ve seen so far

They’re going fast

People underestimate how many of us love the classics. Most of us aren’t new to this so we get that. These will never be below retail and they’re not sitting in any store in Atlanta

I think they sold out because people want something different. Jordan watering down the 1s and the 4s at this point. I had to get them haven’t had them since 93 and I had to get them again.

I’m in Detroit man everybody was doing raffles & I took a L on that but came on Sunday for leftovers & no luck at the foot locker by the crib but went down the street & was able to scoop the last 11.5 ✊🏼 people was lined up like the old days for these

I hit in shock drop. Didn’t try any raffles but hit another in store. Definitely didn’t think they sellout fast. Doubled up could have secured more.

Stumbled upon a 8.5 at a nike cleance store on the day of the drop for $160. Crazy.

To be honest the execution on these were excellent. I know the shape different from the OG'S but they are clean and less bulky. Retro vibe but sleek look

Almost all the stock on SNKRS went to both shock drops that’s why the numbers were low. Almost 220k

Some places will have some sizes but I’m glad they did move now with that they could bring out the bugs bunny and some more of the old 8s like the orange blazes peapods the aquas n wmns aqua

Bruh I always appreciate your content even when your prediction is wrong. So many content creators have simply admitted they were wrong, cause like the Palomino 1's these gone! U still kinda waffling talking about these reaching Outlets. 1st major GR in a long time where the prices have gone up on StockX on release day. U young cats truly underestimate the nostalgia, the story, the special connection that this one has with us OG's 30 years in the making.
