so a lot of people always ask me to question how do you get your shoes for
retail bra I mean this is insane like I never get lucky I always I'm struggling
today I got you I'm gonna tell you about all the steps that I take on how I get
don't choose for retail even regular tops whatever it may be so go ahead take
some notes sit back relax let's get into this video welcome back to the channel
what's up with you guys how you doing how you're being if you did not know by
now my name is DJ in this is the DNA show you haven't already go ahead and
hit that subscribe button brah you don't watch a couple videos already you seen
my face before and you still ain't hit the subscribe button come on brah
smash the button join the family drop a comment down below let me know that you
are now new to the family if this is your first time seeing a video was
something you don't win so let's go ahead and get into this video brah I am
excited to talk about this topic just because I know not just me but each and
every one of us sneaker heads out there in this world of the sneaker Kingdom we
all trying to get our shoes for retail or under retail or whatever it may be so
I'm going to talk about how to get your shoes for retail today alright step
number one now this one is very very important now the reason why I say this
one is so so important because to me I feel like it's all about who you know
and how you can get things and why I say that is because you got a network if you
don't network when you're trying to be a sneaker head it's just gonna be so much
harder if you know more people if you know owners of shops if you know people
that's doing private parties special releases any things like that when it
comes to these rare drops not sure take it in sometimes you never know who it is
that has the plug on what or whatever it is but nine times out of ten if they're
interested in sneakers I guarantee you they probably know somebody that might
know somebody that knows somebody that one day down the road they're able to
get that random rare shoe that they didn't want and you now want and the
reason why I'm saying build your network is not just to use people but also to
create lifelong friendships you never know you might come across something
like I'm a size 13 say I came across something size 11 and I'm like hey I
know the homie that might want this shoe so I could slide it to him and he could
get the plug on it because it just wasn't for me
now I know we all want to get these rare choose for herself but sometimes it
might be better just to plug the homie because you never know they might be
able to plug you down the road as well and the next thing you know you getting
that other rare shoe that you want it and you couldn't get it and they got it
you know what I'm saying you get the memo let's take it a step number two
this one pertains to educating yourself and understanding what's going on around
you and that is finding release news and how do you do those things first thing
I'm gonna say is go to social media platforms so that's gonna be places like
YouTube Instagram Twitter things like that when you find different people like
me on YouTube or somebody else that has information for you that they can give
to you about where to get stuff for how to get it all these different things
take advantage of those platforms dive into different links that you see on
Twitter and find feeds and places to follow and things like that I'm gonna
link different things down below in the description on channels that you should
be following and instagrams and Twitter's and all those different things
so that way you can get more information from those places and they'll be
dropping more stuff for you so that way they can send you a direct link or
whatever it is hey this shoes dropping on this day or this date got pushed back
these are now gonna be coming out here or this is the store that they drop out
or whatever maybe make sure you take advantage of those locations and then
you want to go to sneaker blogs I'll have this list of sneaker blogs
down below as well and what I mean by sneaker blogs is they're gonna pertain
specifically towards sneakers and blogging about the topic whenever a new
shoe is premiered to the public nine times out of ten the sneaker bugs are
gonna get the information first they're gonna take the photos they're gonna find
any leaked photos and they're gonna post pictures about it say hey this you might
be coming out in the summertime whatever may be and when the summertime comes
around nine times out of ten they're probably gonna already have that release
information say hey this shoe releases on July 14th and go here for this
information and click on this link to go to this store to enter this raffle and
all these different things unfortunately it's not just easy to be like oh I'm not
to go caption shoes for retail that's my number one method honestly of keeping
track of just what's going on there's so many releases brands and all these
different traps everything's been kind of on hold with
what's happening right now but I guarantee you with all these release
dates getting pushback there's gonna be a lot of stuff dropping and there's
gonna be a lot of dough that people want to go up so make sure
that you stay tuned for that stuff at understanding hey this release date was
then and now it's now so how can I get it step number three now this one right
here is the direct-to-consumer right we understand we just did our research we
know where all the stores are that are going to be getting the shoe we made our
phone calls we've done everything that we needed to do and now we want to go to
the big headed monsters who's gonna have the most pairs where they most easily
accessible those are the factors you want to come to next so when it comes to
that who has the most pairs and who's going where Nike and Adidas Jordan Brand
easy whatever you want to call it they fall under two different arm brothers
but let's start with Nike first so everybody knows Nike has what sneakers F
if you haven't already download that out that's where you can get the latest and
greatest it's a very hard time sometimes on the very limited drops they do
raffles instead of first-come first-serve a lot of people have
different emotions when it comes to sneakers app I'm probably assuming the
same thing with easy supply we'll talk about that in a second but we could talk
more about sneakers out in another video I'm not gonna break down the whole
checkout process and the fastest way of doing all that if you doesn't want that
drop a comment down below let me know if you guys want that but stand on topic we
have Nike sneakers at Nike calm down our scene at the store so then you have to
go to the store and figure out hey what is the Nike store doing what you got a
call in a wouldn't you know you guys doing around floor you guys know first
cup served I need to come a week early every store every city has different
rules so the best thing I can say is call up your stores locally and
understanding where can you get it if you have no stores in your seat your
best bet is gonna be online or a friend that you know that lives in a city that
does have a store and that comes back to step number one with networking because
if you have a friend that doesn't want the shoe call them up and be like hey
bruh I need you to pick up this shoe for me all I'm saying is you can definitely
call up a couple of homies in different cities because sometimes I gotta call
the homie in LA and be like hey bro I need you to slide over there and snag
that for me because I know it's only out in LA I'm in Portland right now which is
a whole nother topic but sometimes you got to do that but let's take it to the
adidas topic now Yeezy supply everybody Easy's everybody loves Jeezy's as you
know on this channel you don't see Easy's that often on this channel just
because i'm not a fan of them like that do I got the answers man you only got
the answers on you and you ain't got the edges you already got the answers swag
all that extra stuff I like Nikes that's me I don't like it either zizi's it is
what it is that's where I'm at but anyways on another topic I'm getting off
topic because I already know I gotta explain myself because people is just
gonna be mad that I don't like to where I did is easy but anyways easy supply is
at a website that you can go and get easy from obviously adidas comm those
are some other options a lot of people want to get the more limited stuff so
they go for easy supply and again you always need to be on places like Twitter
in different places like that to see where other people are dropping
information whatever it is that's going on keep your ear to the streets I
understand what's going on around you because you don't want to be the one
where you get on Instagram thirty minutes too late just randomly
not paying attention to your phone and then you look at everyone's like oh I
just got the shoes and you're like damn right I missed out I didn't even know
you don't want to do that keep asking questions
keep talking to people keep looking for answers so within that same category of
all this stuff it comes to apps in different places where you can enter
into raffles through our app or a website and different places like the
Flex app which is done by Foot Locker in different places like that so I'm gonna
have links to different apps as well and information for those but you really
want to dive into the apps and take your chances because sometimes you might be
able to enter a raffle on an app and be able to go pick them up from your local
shop that's how you know at the mall or whatever why not try if you're trying to
get shoes you might want to try the worst thing you could do is download the
apps and not at least try it's free to try it doesn't hurt you to enter a
raffle right so go ahead and enter the raffles for your local shops and don't
be always complaining I never win the raffle I never win your avila well
you're definitely not gonna win if you don't enter so at least just try it's
not gonna hurt you that's not your only option I guarantee you right now there's
no way you can just try one Avenue to get a pair of shoes for retail and
expect it to work every single I get a lot of shoes for a retailer
under retail and I have not got every single one of my pair of shoes from the
same direct source they always have to come from different ways and different
people and different stores and different you always got a network you
always gotta get stuff from different way so be open-minded understand hey you
can't win them all but you definitely got to try another big thing is when it
comes to the Raffles now nine times out of ten the raffles happen at a store and
then they say you got to pick up the shoes by 1:00 p.m. or 6 p.m. or whatever
it is you want to go in and get in line at that store or do whatever it is that
you can if you lost and see if you can wait for that 1 p.m. time slot so just
in case a raffle winner didn't win you could be that first person to buy
first-come first-serve right there so you got to check your city and
understand like what are the rules at my stores how do they function how many
people are gonna come out for this release everything varies depending on
the release as well so it's hard to say specifically all you do go loose many
hours early or whatever it is because I couldn't tell you every city is
different every shoe is different every release is different these are all
variable things that are happening when it comes to shoe releases even if you
get a random size and then try it out for your size sell it to buy another
pair in your size whatever you got to do that way you at least got the shoe for
Reta and then you can make moves from there ok step number four now this one
again I think is I don't know all these steps are very important that's why I'm
telling you everything but step number four is important to me because I feel
like as you increase your odds you have a higher chance right because that's
just kind of like anything right so what I'm saying is increase your odds ask
people around you that are willing to help you people that are willing to also
wake up at 7 a.m. or 11 a.m. or whatever time it is in your city to jump on
sneakers app or try to buy them on this website or whatever it is enter this
raffle for me and go pick them up and I'll pay you whatever it is get more
people to help you out the bigger net of people that you have around you that's
willing to help you out brah I'm telling you right now it's gonna be a crazy
thing that's how I got to pierrat Travis Scott once for retail office sneakers at
because I had three people try and two of us hit and it was funny because I
hate and I was like bill yeah let's go I got him
and I just got another text right after that
and it's like screenshot coddled by my brother I got two pair this is crazy
I feel like Nellie for a minute gig stop it and sometimes you don't win at all
even with all the people but sometimes you might strike and get you know two or
three or whatever it is and get multiples and be like damn bro I really
just came up so I know that was a lot of information to take in I know there's a
lot of things to talk about and I can't touch each and every store in each and
every shop but if you have specific questions to any of those things that I
broke down other those four topics go ahead and ask me down below and then
I'll try to get a more in-depth video that way we can have more information
for you guys as well and again I'm gonna drop as much as I can down below in the
description so you guys can do your research find places to get more
information and things like that I hope this was helpful again I really want you
guys to get shoes for retail and get them for that great price that you're
always trying to get them for because I understand how the game goes breath I've
been doing this for a long time over 10 what 12 14 years now or something like
that I've been doing it for a long time I understand how it goes I've seen the
evolution of sneaker collecting and how to buy shoes it used to be you didn't
even need to camp out you could just go buy the shoe and then it was like
first-come first-serve and then it was like oh you could buy six pairs and then
I was like oh you could only get two pairs then it was like damn I ain't even
gonna be able to get a pair now it's like these raffle as long as I
understand bruh I feel you on this whole system and how everything works because
I'm telling you right now the more hands in the higher chances you're gonna have
to get that shoe that you own so with that being said my name is DJ don't
