Yeah that was effed up. The ONLY saving grace (for me, as I was buying for 4 others and I only had 2 other adults with me) was the 2 per customer limit. Up to that point they were saying just 1. Gonna call them when they open today to ask about the $50.
SSA: I'm sure we were in line together. I was there right at 11:00 as well. I figured SoHo was the better bet as DMC was up in Harlem at Dr. Jays when they opened at 11:00 so that's where the crowd was.

That's a cunts move by someone at Adidas.
Making a mistake is one thing but admitting you made a mistake causing people to have to trudge back to the shop is another.
Fine line between doing right and doing nothing but the whole hasn't exactly covered Adi in glory.

Just got off the phone. They said they would give me the $50 for each pair with my receipt.(that has 5 pairs on it) It was touch and go for a bit. At first they were saying that I needed a pair of shoes for each refund because people were getting refunds for shoes they had sold already. Of course that doesn't make sense because an overcharge is an overcharge no matter what you do with the shoes. Anyway, I'm going back there tomorrow and some of you will have $50 US coming back to you.

Glad you're getting some money back Tiff but i agree with Pure and that's very rare. This whole thing stinks i'd be asking for my travel money back to the store aswell at least screw em.

That's just bullshit. If you set them on fire, you still have the right to get a refund.

To be honest I think it's quite good they were saying you needed to have the shoes for a refund, fucks the resellers over a little bit, but obviously a bit shit for people like Tif who has done a massive favour for a few on here. Hope you get all your refunds Tif, bit wank of them to over charge people, looks like I was right saying they were screwing people out of money

Its a fine line, that is...but its not up to them to play god re: if one bought to resell or to actually do good, and help mates from out of town....that being said, gotta take the good with the good, bad with the bad...
I'll bet less than 10-20% of those who paid the full pop even know about the partial refund....and even less who will bother to go back if they do know...
There's a ton of them on the bay now...I'm smiling at those fcukers....congrats to those who will pick up and get em at retail or maybe less
RE: Soon come Superstars. -
mr.pure - 22-11-11
Yeah, you know it.
Here's hoping all the resellers don't have their ears to the ground cos there's no hype releases due.
Cunts!
Lorre,

I'm hoping the resellers put the receipts in the box when they shipped them.
All those ebay peeps buying them at inflated prices based on the retail of $200. Now the reseller is gonna be rubbing his hands together as he heads down to pick up his extra $50.

Yep. I made my purchase at 11:16 am. My thoughts exactly about Dr. Jays. I knew they would be packed. I was gonna head back to the soho store when dmc was supposed to show up, but it was kinda cutting it close to my flight schedule.

If I didn't frequent the originals stores so much I wouldn't have known either. So i bought mine in soho on friday and just happen to be in miami on saturday and decided to swing in to see if they had any 86's left. I seen they had them marked at 150, had to ask questions then...
Doesnt hurt my feelings seeing resellers lose out, they have cost me plenty.

Good on you then mate re being a frequent visitor, thus a true Adi supporter.
And nope, no feelings lost if those fcukers lose coin...in a fair spin, some here pick it up cheap and rip em off all at the same time...

Since some of us frequent NYC, maybe we should consider a "meet up" in Manhattan someday. Preferably in the warmer months
my supes never see snow, slush, or rain.
