Mission Air Yeezy

April 4th, the first release date of the highly anticipate, long awaited, Nike Air Yeezy by Kanye West dropped and you know that we were out camping for those. In the DC to B More Area, 5 spots got 'em. Out of those 5 we stopped at 4 of 'em trying to get a pair. April 4th, at 1:35 am, the crew left out for the city and hit what we felt was going to be a more chill spot due to its location, the DTLR on Minnesota AVE, Southeast DC...we showed up a little disappointed to see about 18 people already lined up. Next stop was PG Plaza, said to be our safest bet. About 15 minutes away, we found this to be true. We only saw about 10 people. This was around am. We hung out all night, most of em slept but I stayed up and wait. Around 5am, we hit up McDonald's, and just chilled in the Benz. Sun rise came, and we were out by the door. We were told the doors to the mall were to open at 7am, which was a lie. The security guard came around and told everyone the doors would be open at 10 and the Target would be open at 8am. The anticipation kept rising every minute as the crowd of sneaker heads and hype bums kept growing. The doors to target op end at 8 and to my surprise out of the 40 people ready to run into the mall, only about 10 of us went to target. Some were told that the mall doors would open before the door to target would so every went to one entrance. Me, Bingo, Paul hung out in target and at 9am the door opened and we hit jets to DTLR. I'm not gonna lie I slipped and busted my shit on the title, hat flew off, but Paul & I were proud holders of number 3 and 5 in the line. Most the people who had been there all night were towards the front but some were less fortunate. UNFORTUNATELY, to an unpleasant surprise, this line didn't mean anything. The african security guard, claimed he had a list of 16 names of people who were there first. At PG Plaza, the security office is at the back of the mall, so majority of us had no idea. We were informed earlier in the night that they had started a list in the back but when we went, the security said, the list was already full and that everyone else would have to line up. Do to the anger and yelling arising, Prince George Police officers showed up to help control crowd. After 15 minutes of arguing and thinking, the managers of DTLR decided they would allow those 16 people to buy there pair and have the rest of us in a raffle for 8 pair...such BS! Of course, none of our names were called so MISSION AIR YEEZY went from IN THE BAG, to EPIC FAIL. Later that day, we hit Commonwealth on Florida Ave and yet again, the luck of the draw didn't go in our favor...now it looks like all we can do is be better prepared and ready for the next released one next month. Overall the night was fun and the camp experience was straight....next time, well be ready, you can bet that.
