Shoe Gallery was of the six locations releasing “The LeBrons” past weekend. While we know NYC and LA drop zones were lined with resellers doing everything to cop multiple pairs… and the Cleveland mishap also left nothing but a bad memory… seems like events in Chicago and Miami went rather well. Each store received 25 of each character, which adds up to 100 shoes per store and 600 total (well 580 to be exact ;)). Shoe Gallery prepared a corner section of its interior and dedicated it to the Lebroin VI release. Packed with illuminated shelf space, a basketball hoop and even a glass casing that served as a shrine to the four infamous Lebron character figurines. As for the hoop – well, all customers who bought a pair of the Lebron VI’s got one raffle ticket good for the drawing to win one of the four Lebron character figurines. For every pair you purchased, you had a chance to take one shot and if you made the shot, you got two more raffle tickets, which would increase your chances to win one of the figurines. Even though it was a nearly impossiible shot given the tiny hoop and the tiny basketball; 2 or 3 people made the shot. The first person in line was a guy named Jerry. He was out in front of Shoe Gallery camping out since early Thursday. As soon as 10AM came in and Shoe Gallery opened its doors, he went straight for the ‘Business’ and ‘Wise’ colorways and took home a pair of each. Those two were definitely the crowd-favorite and the original 25 slimmed down fairly quick. The other colorways followed suit shortly after. Source: nicekicks.com | the305.com.
