Apologies for the delay all, there were over 160 photos on the camera, and it took us a while to sort through them. A huge thanks to everybody who made it to the event last night, and for all the support we received. It was absolutely epic, and no doubt the biggest launch event in NZ's sneaker history, with literally hundreds of people flooding into the doors. I'm sure all of you already know about Ethan and the others' overnight campout, but by midday the next day the line had stretched almost a block down the road, stopping traffic and curious bystanders along Broadway. We ran out of tickets well before the 7:00pm mark, and the line still stretched around the corner and out towards Modes/Route66. Everybody, including our guests Woody & James from Sneaker Freaker magazine were pretty surprised with the turnout, as we were.
Congratulations to the 30 lucky individuals who managed to get their number drawn and went home with a pair of Air Yeezys. I'm sorry for those who didn't get their number called, but I hope you still managed to have a good time regardless. Thank you to everybody in the community who came out to support us, Nike, and the Air Yeezy launch.
Big thanks to the entire Nike New Zealand team - Mike B, Mike C, Megan, Juanita, Mark, and everybody involved on their end.
