    Wouldn’t let me join, then had to enter payment and address again then it would constantly crash, wouldn’t read my face finally after 8 minutes it let me join. All that for the impending L.

    Haha na today was terrible. Normally I think it's solid for what it handles so quickly but today was clearly too much for it. My wife was not amused.

    Na it works fine 99% of the time. There's just way more demand than supply on lost things we go after.

    2025 seems about right for a true Chicago with no gimmicks. 85, 94, and 15 are the only proper versions. Some of the others are cool but 94 and 15 are the only reap retros.

    I think he was hinting that the ‘85 hi in ‘25 would finally be Chicagos.

    Wasn't sure I'd end up with a pair but ended up with a pair for wife and I. They gave me a rug for supporting them over the years too lol.

    I view it differently. Employess should be able to easily cop a pair imo.

    I think they should let them do a sign up for pairs. They get a pair in their size with no box and their employee id number on the insole or sharpied on the bottom of the sole. And they dont come in until a week or two after release. Otherwise take your chances with the shitty SNKRS app like everyone else.

    Na most companies do some type of employee benefit program. Like my company will buy .5% on our interest rate (that's a lot lol) if we do a loan with them and waive all costs. Maybe give them like 3 coupons to redeem for pairs or something like that. I mean they literally work for the company that makes them. I don't even cars if they sell them, it's an employee benefit.

    I know youre gonna say it wouldnt make a difference in your feelings on it but im gonna say if hadnt had two pairs set aside for you yesterday you would feel a little different about someone taking their guaranteed access to something and reselling it.
    Like i said, let them sign up for a pair if they want them. But atleast make it as hard as possible to resell them.

    Idk maybe but I've missed on tons of shoes and I felt the same way then. I guess it depends on the employee. A VP making $300k a vs a store employee making $15 an hour changes my opinion.

    Same. Though the role doesn't change my mind. My SIL is a higher level employee at Nike and my brother is a sneakerhead and gets what he can from the EE store just to wear. He'll get a limited drop every now and then for my daughter, but I don't even ask them to hook me up. If there's something I really want that I take an L on, I can buy resale.

    I was referring to the resell part. Both should get pairs, but the VP doesn't need the money, the store level employee could probably use it.

    Nike employees shouldn’t get every release but they should get some sort of perk. Maybe it’s an employee only SNKRS release and you get one hit a year for limited releases.

    that said I deserve a pair before they do
