Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[BreezyH]

Man my HoH changed up the process and i swear they want altercations and bullshyt drama..

Old Method (sucked but more fair even with rigged raffles)
Give your ID, select a Size, Give phone #...
If they call you, your size is reserved until 6pm on Saturday, if you dont go by 6pm Saturday they are open for sale

New Method (this shyt is dumb as hell if you ask me)
Give your ID, you DO NOT select a size, Phone #
Then get this shyt

"winning ticket numbers on Wednesday afternoon. That number will serve as the first ticket for the release.

Example: Ticket #37 is drawn, Ticket #37 is 1st, #38 is 2nd, #39 3rd etc.

Store will open at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday 06/20 for customers with tickets in the order of winning ticket drawn. Customers must have ID to get a ticket"


Sooooo even if you win you dont get your size, you have to line up at 7:45am in the order its selected and you pick whatever size is available, So even if i win, I am a 9.5 dont mean i get my 9.5, we have to line up and hope people in front of me dont take all the 9.5s..

so now its Camp for tickets, hopefully you get picked, if you get picked you CAMP again for sizes... smh

seems like they tried to keep the "fairness" of a raffle with the fcfc aspect, rewarding those who get there the earliest to get their ticket. but you end up with a bunch of people who are pretty much forced to sell shoes cause they dont fit. or sit around and wait for a potential size swap. what will not happen is someone who is a size 8 being left with an 11 and not buying it. they're still gonna buy it

My boy at finishline just told me why they changed to that..

It seems for Bred XI Lows 2 good workers got caught by customers red handed. They were back dooring pairs but miscalculated how many were presold and sold peoples winning pairs. Normally around here people wont bytch to much, if you won a size 9.5 and they are like real sorry but we got shorted a 9.5 do you want a 9 or a 10? 99% of the time they will be ok, if they bytch thy get a coupon or discount and happy.

Well that didnt happen, these 2 customers were at the register the same time and went crazy demanding to speak to a manager and wanted something done. And it was pretty obvious they got caught backdooring pairs and got fired.

Well with this method, you dont even have to worry about specific sizes being saved anymore, hand out 1000 tickets, have 100 winners just make sure you have 100 sneakers in the back regardless of size and you dont get caught. Such bullshyt

For people interested in Bron sales prices. It is best to lurk, the Niketalk Lebron 12 section.

Dudes find plenty deals. But they die fast.

I prefer the new method. As actually that is how we used to camp out. You line up then go in and you have the option to try and get a 9.5, 10, 10.5 (if Im a true 10).

Or say fukk it and get a 12 to flip....


By only listing 1 size on a raffle you just limited your chances. Id rather raffle for a spot, than 1 size

I am fine with FCFS but that causes problems out here man ALWAYS a problem, always fights, always people getting robbed.

But this way its FCFS for a ticket, pick a winning ticket then FCFS again? That shyt is like the damn matrix now.

what hoh is this???

 

[meth68]

what hoh is this???

It was Willowbrook in NJ

The Paramus HOH is still doing pick size/phone number normal routine.

 

[Panther]

I pray they dont start that shyt in Atl.

I thought the point of the raffle was that i dont have to get up early and wait in line

 

[Romey Rome]

I think the new method that store implemented is stupid cuz most times police won't even let u line up. They break every one up

 

[meth68]

It just got so much worse, so they posted the winning ticket. These lazy b*stards they pull 1 ticket...
Foot Locker: Ticket #507032

So basically now 507032 = #1 in line, 507033 = #2...and they keep going so you dont even know if you won if you are 507089 because you dont know if they have 57 pairs in stock, you dont know if the other 57 in front of you will show up

So I called cause im confused and to make it even worse, hes like you have 506896 I will still show up, cause if people dont show up the numbers flip back around like a circle...

fukk them I am not wasting my saturday at 7:45AM to find out

 

[Romey Rome]

Yea this is incredibly stupid. What if the person with a number closer to the winning number shows up after me ? That means he skips me as long as he's there by the time the store opens?

Yes so say you are #12 and I am #2.. If you show up at 7:45 and I show up at 8... you get a choice before me, it makes no sense. I am not even wasting my time with that hoh anymore
