Used a location spoofer to change my shyt to my pops shyt in Inglewood.

Waited in the snkr pass post, thought it would change to reserve at 1015 but it didn't. Went to main page and back, all the shyt was reserved. :francis:

my last finish line ups ground shipment took three days and it had to go less than 300 miles, if ur on the other side of the country then it can take a while, go to this page and replace the XXX with ur zip code

I checked the tracking link and expected changed to 6/19. I'm pleasantly surprised. Good look on that map but is that finishline specific? Hpw does that work cause i'm in NY and that's 1 day.

This. Whilst I understand why they took the actions, the decision should always lie with the consumer.

If I'm paying full price for a product (and sometimes more) don't pick and choose what aspect of the product that you want to give me. It's already bad enough that a lot of those sneaker shops overcharge retail prices on hyped releases or even making you buy store products just for a chance to buy the sneakers.

That's why I wish Nike would start being more strict in how their products are allocated. The reasoning for the no box rule is bullshyt anyways as they easily could have done the no return policy instead like other sneaker shops do.

No box rule is dumb, because now the consumer has to go and buy a replacement box to store their shoes.

At the top.


Nike must have put in the call.

Should have just handed the shoes in the bag from the jump without all the theatrics and power trip.


Agreed the theatrics were OD.
End of the day like you guys said, the consumer is paying for the entire product they deserve the full product. Personally, a lot of releases I get now I don't wear for a couple years .. so how am I supposed to store it? Making your employees a-town stomp the box doest help the situation

And that's what makes their no box excuse wack as hell as they easily could institute a no return policy for hyped releases like other sneaker shops do. You cannot take the box away and still have the nerve to charge retail price. That's not how it works :russ:
