Nike Zoom KOBE V, aka The All Star Games
Limited releases to: Eastbay.com, Footlocker.com, Nike.com, KB24.com
12am ET was the release for these limited edition KOBE Vs and I wasn't going to miss out. I had my Eastbay.com account logged in already w/ my size highlighted, ready to add to cart when the clock strikes 9pm PT. Footlocker.com was going to sell these too so I had my account for that logged in as well.
My gf's the best! She wanted to make sure that we'd be home on time so I could be on the PC ready to make the order by 9pm. Originally my plan was to order multiple pairs so I could sell the others on ebay and make a profit but things didn't work out that way.
Anyways.. my heart started racing when the count hit 10 seconds.. SHIT THIS IS IT!! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.. REFRESH!! BaaMMM!!! my size was ready to be added to cart! My credit card # was on ctrl V standby and I got so excited from the rush that I forgot to insert the Free shipping code. I had to wait 1min 30sec after I clicked submit for my order to process and it must've felt like one of the longest shoe minutes of my life. At any moment, my order could've easily been declined, my pc could've frozen, or my Firefox could've timed out. All these situations could've occured because it was a limited shoe, and probably millions of other people were probably online trying to order the same shoe @ the same time. Finally the process was over and I got a confirmation page, a minute later an e-mail confirmation. *whewwww* what a relief! I was lucky enough to get my Nike Zoom KOBE V ASG shoes.
The shoes arrived thursday Feb 18 from USPS. Damn Eastbay!! what I hate about ordering from eastbay is that they ship the shoes in a USPS postal bag and when my KOBE's arrived, the box was all jacked up! assholes..
Unfortunately, Mr. Bryant wasn't available to participate in the All Star Game due to his ankle injury but pictures of him wearing the these KOBE V ASGs on saturday was good enough..
