FINALLY!

I got my Air Yeezys!
It was a long ass train ride and a log ass day for me!
Waking up at 4:30 for my train isn't a good look!
But I guess travelling 1st class ain't too shabby!

I arrived at the Nike Sportswear Store, 1948 at around 10:30am Friday morning surprised to see around 10 people already there.
The guy at the front of the line had been there since around 7:30am!
It was a long day, I didn't sleep at all!

It came to around 8:30pm and the store manager came out and issued us with numbered tickets due to the fact that we wasn't able to stay outside the store because of complications with the council!

I got number 13, luckily enough though; I'm not suspicious!

It was a long night around London town trying to find somewhere to stay, but I ended up just going around central for a bit, and then eventually ended up posted up in St. Pancras station until the tubes started running at around 6am the next morning.

I arrived back at Nike 1948 at about 6:30am Saturday, surprised to see new faces sitting at the front of the line; with rumours that the numbered ticket system was just a scandal to move us along from the store front.

The shop was due to open at 10:30am, but because of the queue and other things, I didn't get in to get the Yeezy's until about 11:10am!

It was a long, long wait but it was well worth it.
Over 24 hours waiting for a pair of shoes and I endured a day that was about 34 hours before I slept!
