Lining up for limited edition sneakers

[corporategrunt]

for youngins, lining up is a social thing apparently - hell some kids line up with their friends when they are not even purchasing the to-be-released item which is bonkers. I'm guessing at age 18, opp cost is still relatively low.

Oh My fucking god.

just incase anyone was still wondering why you would line up for sneakers

Nuff said! Evry sufu member will want to get their hands on these clown shoes!

Buy some coffee and look busy.

Pretend like your on the phone 24-7.

So people think you really dont want to be there.

HA! i lined up at supreme last week and just stood there alone reading the paper with my coffee in an american apparel tee, while like 50 hyped-out asian kids were swarming around me, came to the conclusion that i'm getting too old for that shit.

wrong forum to ask.

holy shit. does having stars on a sneaker make it limited edition and cool?

[mis]

12 Pairs of anything makes it limited edition and cool.

Tear gas + mask will probably do the trick

[so-so]

If anything I bet I'll see a bunch of Chinese Resellers all wearing BAPE.

Fixed.

Also, I think you should get there at like, 3 am, be the first in line, then when they let you in to the store, run to the back, grab a general release tshirt, sprint to the counter, buy it, and leave.

I usually get Turtle to hook me up with mine.

As stupid as it sounds, I know of people who spent hundreds of thousands and hundreds of hours and storeroom space to keep the sneakers. The amazing thing is that these people actually make a huge killing reselling these sneakers. I aint going to do it but kudos to these people.

xD Wow Tyro, I'm not that young. Unless 18 is pretty young at SuFu. I have a couple friends coming with me and I'm planning on going at like 7 or 8 in the morning just so I can get these shoes. Theres supposedly going to be only like 12 pairs and I figure if theres two of each and I can wear either size 10 or 11, there are at least 4 chances for me to get a pair. But if I'm gonna sell them, who really cares. Though I do have a bad reputation for not being able to let go of shoes.

As far as fanatics go, dont go at 7 to 8. Go like midnight or before that and sleep in line with a friend. Armed yourself if its a seedy neighbourhood. You will be disappointed if you go at 7 and 20 dudes are already lining up/

I'm not looking to wear them, I'm looking to sell those puppies for cash. I already have a friend who wants to take them off my hands for $450

Fuck having you as a friend !

How times have changed:

I lined up "Once". The second release of the wovens at A-life Orchard street, probably 2001-2002 (All black with Fatigue/Brown contrast). I got their at 7.30am first in line, when the doors opened only 7-8 guys were in line, ony 2 Asian fella's, no one wearing Bape etc....shit's gone "Mencap"!.

Portable gas grill, food to cook on it, 30 pack (beverage of your choice), bags to piss in, beach chairs, ghetto blaster filled with obnoxious music, a few blunts, and make sure to have your friends stand around on the sidelines and amp up your prize spot in line. Get wasted all night long, and then bum rush the store in the morning and walk away bragging about the best night of your life!
