I'm planning on getting at least two of the Retro 5's coming out: Bel-Air, Fire Red and Laney. The Bel-Air as of now is a definite but I can't decide between the other two yet.

I'm going for the Fire Red.

I am going to assume it is the same policy across the country, but I could be wrong. You can only get one pair per person and you have wait in line to get a ticket a week before it comes out to buy the kicks.

i have never heard of anything like that for shoes; even for jordans. everywhere i've ever been it's always first come, first serve.

I wish I was BSing you, but I am telling you the truth. Maybe it is just certain Footlockers/House of Hoops in NY, but I highly doubt it. Ever since February of 2012 after these came out they started doing the ticket thing. They dont do them for all sneakers just the ones they know that are going to be HOT. Actually there are 2 ticket thingys. One where you can just buy the kicks just as long as you were able to get a ticket and the other is a raffle ticket and can only buy the kicks if your ticket number comes up. It was very bad that night. There were over 1000 people at the 34th Street Flagship store. It got so bad they had to close down the street. There were about 5 cop cars and 20 on foot. That was my 1st and last time I will ever wait in line for sneakers.

1. The 1st pic are the last HOT kicks before they started the ticket procdure.
2. 2nd and 3rd pic are the 2 different types of ticket procedures they have. Look at what the retail price was for those LBJ's.
3. 4th pic is what they sell for in the secondary market. WOW!!!

One comes out this month and the other comes out in November, so it wouldn't really matter. I don't/can't wait in line for Jordans. I work the day they release and the closest store is about 40 minutes away.

My only option is online so if I get them, I get them and if I don't then it's whatever. When I was going to buy the Black Grapes I probably was able to get them but I stupidly decided not to.

From what I was told from Finish Line that it is first come, first serve. I don't know about Foot Locker though, neither the Fire Red or Laney are listed yet.

I love these Air Max Wright that I had to get another pair.

The ones that come out this month and in Oct. and Nov. are not the same exact kicks.

Hey Al, when you said fire red v. I though you meant the red v that came out in feb of this year sorry. Yeah man I love air max wright nice kicks.

Guru, in some stores here you do have to get tickets or raffle. I stay away from those myself. There are plenty of stores here that don't do it that way.

....yeah? You mentioned it being only one per person which didn't even apply to what I said in the first place. Unless your point was about a ticket.

[theguru14]

The retro 5's that you want are these the ones that come out 8/31? I am going to assume that they will be part of the ticket or raffle procedure that Foot Locker/HOH has in place. I would say most if not all AJ, KD, KB and Foamposites will fall under that procedure.

Can't wait to get the Fire Red V's in a couple of weeks

I've passed on all the retro's since 2011, and I REALLY want these. I'm going to get a ticket this weekend at my FNL, if not, I'll just have to wake up early and try online.

Yeah... I have no intentions of getting them in-store from Foot Locker. None of your posts really make any sense about what I originally posted, talking about only allowing one per person, tickets, them not being the same shoes (why would you even think I think they're the same?) Then repeating the same thing about the tickets which still has nothing to do with me buying them as I already stated once that I was never planning on buying them in a store. They are sold online also, unless I'm missing something....

That's cool, for some reason I never noticed the lining was different in the pictures.

I like the 4 and 5's of the fear pack. I have a feeling I won't end up with any of them because I can't decide. The Bel-Air is the only one I'm 100% about.
