Big "L" here again, can't even win on what seems to be less desirable drops, still pissed I missed the early access last week on the Shadow 2.0's

I’m in a lottery for the Jordan Shadows on Saturday. What are other good places to try for them?
Nearly every stockist will raffle these.

If you really want a pair, you may want to pay resale now before the official release. If you win a raffle (lol) or hit on SNKR (also lol), you can either keep a backup pair or resell.

It’s amazing how many resellers I’ve seen with stacks of these shoes already…I’m going to stick with my OG 1.0’s and call it good

I'll think about it.

I'm actually not a huge high tops guy these days - just a lot more of a PITA to get on and off. And Jordans have never reallybeen that much of a thing for me anyway. The only pair of Nikes that I've felt compelled to get on the secondary were the AF1 Paisleys, which were a Japan only release, and so they were not really that available anyway, and because I like neutrals, and I really, really, like black paisley. I might end up paying StockX for the low paisley Blazers as well.

Article in the NY Post regarding the success resellers have experienced during the pandemic.

Begs the question of how these resellers (among them, teenagers) get early access to coveted releases and in large quantities.

I can imagine how the son of the Nike executive did it, but these other randos? How?

To get that many pairs of hype releases you've got to use bots or have backdoor hookups
