So I’m sure everyone here is far more versed than I. Occasionally I find a pair of shoes I like maybe try to hunt a pair down I missed release on whatever.

But I’ve never really gone the distance to wait for a pair. Cue April x SB dunks. I’ll take whatever hate these bring me. Look cool, gonna buy a pair for me and my nephew.

Now these are being released in select skate shops, cool, so I contacted the two nearest to me. They both said, on day of release they will be a raffle inferring they will not be selling to regular customers only raffle winners??

Like I’m willing to wait in line for something and possibly not have a chance to get them that’s the name of the game… But only a raffle to gain access when they already reduced the number of stores? Is this regular for release or something fishy going on with this retailer trying to just increase business for a big release?

    This aint Harry Potter but “Welcome to the wonderful world of resellers” only its not wonderful its the exact opposite.Theres so many ways retail sellers divert some of the best shoes to resellers via bots or backdooring etc…The only certainty in this market is as long as Nike makes their money they don’t really care who buys them.
