I'm so glad I didn't make the trip down for these. I heard this kind of info from people yesterday so decided against it. 22 pairs! That's a fookin joke, I could accept 1 or 2 pairs being put aside for staff maybe but 18 pairs!!!! They should be charged with looting along with the rest of the vermin. I feel for you Al, hope you made your feelings known fella.

Shit that sucks!!
I guess it was always on the cards after the same thing happened at No.74 in Berlin..but 22 pairs outta 40 is taking the piss..
But saying that if you'd shopped at No.6 for afew yrs and blown countless £££'s over the years and where a good customer you maybe deserve a pair to be put aside too.
I'm with Wildone so glad i didn't travel down and waste £90 on train tickets for nothing.
Hope you get lucky with a pair via the bay if nothing else Al (not for silly money either)
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em

I was told 40 pairs too Errol, actually, I was told slightly over.
Knew it was all going to shit about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when there was 7 people in the queue and I was told if I got there quickly I MIGHT have a chance of getting a pair.
Guessed they had 15 pairs left and wasn't far wrong.
Was told by a reputable source that they had 26 pairs left at 10.15 last night so head office taking pairs is bollocks if you counted out 22 pairs Al.
I have no doubt in my mind that a certain person was letting them go under the counter.
People keep saying how much of a nice guy he is, yeah, maybe, face to face.
I just wonder how much money was taken in back-handers to people who wanted to buy their way out of queueing.
I'm done with it.
Fuck Adidas.
You've been fucking over collectors in the UK for far too long and I ain't the kind of pussy to take it.
Sorry you lost even a minute of sleep for 'em, Al.

is a joke tbh.
Do they only come in one colour as the pairs for sale from Japan for example look a lot creamier in colour than Pokey's or is it just the flash photography?
lovin' me terrace footwear.

I made it up to the cabbage drop and I can see why a lot of people were well and truely pissed off. Naturally peeps were concerned about how many were available in certain sizes so they could decide whether
it was worth queing all night for. Some of the guys asked for a break down of what was available and it all seemed reasonable enough. It was said that there would be 1 or 2 of the lower and upper sizes
available and from around the size 8's to 11's there were about 3 or 4 pairs of each including half sizes, but by the morning these numbers had changed quite a bit.
In the end there were only 2 pairs in size 9, I think only 2 size 10's, and there weren't any size 8's or 7.5s available at all. Some of the guys near the front had queued for size 8's too.
A lot of people who had queued through the night were pissed off and decided to either leave, or, because they had already put in the hours, buy any size they could to re-sell.
It's not a good way to do things cos people ended up buying sizes that they had no intention of wearing which ultimately stopped others in the queue from getting their true size.
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?
