SOLE COLLECTOR x JORDAN AT NIKE SANTA MONICA - PART 1 RECAP

Arrived at Santa Monica promenade or the mall around 3:40 or 3:50AM.
I didn't expect the line would be that serious and I thought you can't camp out in Santa Monica mall until 5AM, but I guess not...
The line outside Nike Santa Monica around 3-4:40AM.

Got the lanyard and my raffle number.

Just put my raffle number in the size 9 slot.

Still a long line around 8:20AM.

Some random guy who bothered me and other people while eating breakfast because he's petitioning himself so that he can be a candidate. He said he's gonna run for U.S. president in 2016. Haha. Goodluck.

Afterward, I went along with Nell, Jimmy, and Esco to Nike Vault to try our luck and win some Nike Zoom Kobe V - Big Stages.
Nike Vault is located right next to the Magic Johnson statue and it's a store that will mostly carry Kobe's shoes.
Arrived there and there were a lot of people already waiting.

Somebody is already wearing the ZKVI (the black one), Flint XIII's, and ZKIV - "4 Rings".

1 of 1 Sample Nike Air Force 1 High - "Chris Hall". Very nice pair of AF1!

Hmm, the light is shining over Kobe.

Eh, no luck with the size I wanted. The selection of sizes when my number got called were size 7, 14, & 15. What am I gonna do with those sizes? Hmm.
Then we just decided to visit RIF-LA...
