I spoke with the manager. Nobody was rude, they just said that corporate policy was requiring masks and that it takes precedence over NC laws. That doesn't sound right, especially given that their website seems to portray NC gyms as needing masks but the ones in Texas don't.
Got to have an ear to ground. Most of the hot drops are going to be Yeezys, Off-White, specific Jordans, and some of the new Dior hi-tops are fire. Every now and then a Nordstrom Rack will have some crazy shit like Fragment 1s if you get there early.
As far as the stores go you gotta ask around. Usually the big malls will get them depending on your region. If he asks the employees they can tell him. It's not a secret.
There isn't much skill behind it really. Just gotta be able to finesse on IG and Twitter. If you can hook your homies up they'll tell their friends where they got the shoes. It's all about building a network. It was to the point where I was working nights at Chipotle and people would show up and I'd meet them in the parking lot to sell shoes.
I did it for years while I was in high school. It's not as lucrative as it used to be due to the prevalence of sites like GOAT, StockX, and so on. Not to mention the amount of fakes.
Essentially what I'd do is go to Footlocker or Footaction on release days. I'd give the money to my friends and have each of them buy a pair too since most stores would only sell one pair per person. I'd get about half a dozen pairs, keep one or two and flip the rest. It's pretty simple really but definitely harder now than it used to be.
They retail at $200 but I haven't had a problem getting them for retail in Raleigh in the past 3 or 4 years. The last time I paid resale for a pair of Yeezys was for Zebras.
Not sure if Yeezys aren't as hyped now or they're making more pairs but I always get the pair I want without hassle. Great shoes tbh, super comfy and they look good imo. My 67 year old dad actually wears a pair of Sesames when he's not at work.
I've not worn one either. I've had a couple places offer me one but they haven't prevented me from entering when I refused. The only place I had trouble was BestBuy. The guy spent more time arguing with me about not wearing mask "for his safety" than if he would have just given me my shit so I could leave. This is a cult. The Mask Covidians need to be stopped.
No issues so far. It has the auto-off feature which can come in handy but I haven't encountered any battery issues yet. I will say that the glass on the optic seems to attract dust more than my Vortex optics on my other rifles but I also use this one more so I guess I notice it easier.
The thing is I don't even work for a small company. I work in IT for one of the largest privately held companies in the state but due to lost revenue from the lockdown they're going to be laying people off at the end of this month. Since I'm one of the newest employees it's most likely going to include me.
Roy Cooper is a bitch. He wouldn't dare to show his ass outside of the Governor's Mansion.
I've sent multiple emails as well as letters to him and his staff over the past few months and have yet to receive a reply. He's ignoring his constituents and destroying NC's economy. I can not wait for election day. Roy Cooper is a fraud and a failure. I would take Blackbeard as a Governor before Roy.
Roy Cooper can fuck off.
I made this point a while back with my brother. He's got full-blown TDS and his response was "Now you're pro-choice? Glad to see you support abortion now."
I can be pro-choice on masks and still think that abortion is murder. I think it's unfair to apply "my body, my choice" to pregnant women considering the child they carry isn't their body.
ROY COOPER CAN FUCK OFF
