Alright, guys, so I finally got my hands on those Jordan 12 Black and Greens I’ve been eyeing. Let me tell you, the whole process was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it in the end. Let’s rewind a bit, and I’ll walk you through the whole thing.
It all started with me, casually browsing through sneaker release calendars – you know, as one does. I saw the Black and Green 12s listed, and immediately, I knew I had to cop those. I’ve always loved the 12s silhouette, something about that design just speaks to me. And the black and green colorway? Super clean, super versatile. I could picture myself rocking those with pretty much anything.
The Hunt Begins
So, first thing I did was hit up all my usual spots online. Checked the big retailers, some smaller boutiques, even some resale platforms just in case. No luck. Sold out everywhere, which, honestly, I kind of expected. These were a pretty hyped release.
Next, I started entering raffles. Online raffles, in-store raffles, you name it. I probably entered like, ten different ones. Filled out all the forms, followed all the accounts, did all the reposting and tagging – the whole nine yards. It felt like a full-time job, I swear!
- checked retailer websites.
- I started entering raffles.
- Wait for the result.
Then came the waiting game. The agonizing wait for those raffle results to come in. I was checking my email like every five minutes, constantly refreshing my inbox. One by one, the “Ls” started rolling in. “Unfortunately, you were not selected…” “Better luck next time…” It was brutal, man. I was starting to lose hope.
Success at Last!
But then, finally, I got that one golden email. “Congratulations! You’ve won the opportunity to purchase…” I swear, I almost jumped out of my chair. I clicked through so fast, filled out my payment info, and hit submit before I could even process what was happening.
And that was it! I’d secured the bag. A few days later, that beautiful box arrived at my doorstep. Unboxing them was a whole experience in itself. The smell of fresh leather, the crispness of the materials, the way the light hit that green – pure fire.
I’ve worn them a few times now, and let me tell you, they’re even better on foot. Super comfortable, and they look amazing with everything. I’ve gotten so many compliments already. Definitely a great addition to the collection.
So yeah, that’s the story of how I got my Jordan 12 Black and Greens. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but totally worth the effort. If you’re trying to get your hands on a pair, don’t give up! Keep trying, keep entering those raffles, and hopefully, you’ll get that “W” too.
