Chapter 459: A Little Story About Wade and Wade's Way
I don't know how many of you in front of the screen are Wade fans, how many are Wade's way shoe fans. If you are, then this article you must not miss.
How many people have gone to great lengths to find Wade's Way 5 All-Stars, although the domestic version also has an independently numbered tag, which looks very powerful. I was envious before, why is there no tag in the American version! But now, it's all floating clouds. Today's article is relatively long, I hope you will be patient and read it thoroughly.
At the beginning of the month, the official Titter of Wade's Way issued a notice that it would open a temporary store of Wade's Way in New Orleans, the venue of this year's All-Star, and the latest Wade's Way 5 All-Stars will be released in advance on the 17th. From my personal point of view, this pair of WoW5 is the best-looking color scheme in the 5th generation, and the sullen is the real sass, and I have to buy a pair of everything. Then the news came out on the Internet that the global limited edition of 00 pairs made me panic. 00 pairs? There are only three places in the United States that are available: Wade's Way, The Sneaker Store in Miami, The EditionBoutique in Miami, and a pop-up store in New Orleans. My hand speed on the official website is not good, and I have a hunch that the official website will not be easy to buy (it turns out that my hunch is correct), Miami is too far away and only available offline, New Orleans... I looked at the map and drove for 1 hour, well... It's okay, I've driven so far before, so let's go to New Orleans, and feel the all-star atmosphere by the way, although I can't buy tickets anymore, but maybe I can meet the stars! On the morning of the 16th, I drove off with my girlfriend.
The boring journey was omitted, and after a short break in Memphis, we arrived in New Orleans on the morning of the 17th. My first impression of the city was that there were a lot of cars, and it was possible that due to the All-Star Weekend, I had to be stuck in traffic for a long time in the city to reach the temporary store of Wade Way. The shop is located in front of a hotel in the city center, and it wasn't open when I went, even though it was past the advertised 11 o'clock opening time.
The shop doesn't open until 11:00. After entering the door, I found that this was actually a cooperative store, which meant that this store was originally another store, and Wade's Way should be a cooperation with it to sell Wade's Dao products in this store, so this store not only has Li Ning products, but also the original goods in the store.
There is a display area of Wade Way 5 in the store, which displays some of the five generations of products, of course, the most dazzling is the Wade Way 5 all-star color scheme released today.
I met a staff member of Li Ning Company in the store, and although I don't know what his name is, I guess he must have come from China specifically for this U.S. sale. Because there were very, very few Chinese in New Orleans, and I was one of the few Chinese in the store, I struck up a conversation with him. From him, I learned the truth about the limited edition tag of the domestic version released this time. I can't repeat the original words, I can only relay the general meaning, he told me that the idea of the tag is actually a temporary idea, the domestic last Tuesday and Wednesday to get Li Ning company, immediately sent to the major stores, almost too late. The shoes of the United States and China are exactly the same, and they are also limited, why is there no tag in the United States? His original words were: "The shoes in the United States were delivered a few years ago, and they are exactly the same as in China. It's too late to send it over..."Okay, I understand, it's just an iron plate, it doesn't matter, just get the shoes." Each customer is limited to one pair, my girlfriend and I each took a pair of the same size, and after checking out, a staff member from Wade Way in the United States came, took a form for me to fill in my name and phone number, and gave me a raffle. She explained that customers who buy shoes today will have a chance to draw a lottery, and those who are drawn will be able to meet Wade in person tomorrow...
I really couldn't believe my eyes, I was chosen! Happiness came too suddenly, a little unreal. The sleepiness that was full suddenly disappeared. Excitedly waiting for tomorrow.
The next morning, New Orleans returned to the good weather it had in the south, and the sun shone brightly on the whole city. After wandering around the city for most of the day, I finally arrived at the designated hotel at 4 p.m., and of course I didn't forget to bring the shoes I bought earlier. My girlfriend also asked me, where did I go when you went in to see Wade? I want to take care of him, let's go in together, and don't let him in... I entered the lobby with my girlfriend, and a staff member checked my identity information, and I looked at it, and there were less than 10 people selected, and I was the only Chinese. After confirming the information, I drew an X on my hand to indicate that I had confirmed, and then naturally drew an X on my girlfriend's hand... Can I bring my family with this event?? I don't know it, just wait, I'm bored and sitting in the hall waiting. Suddenly, I had an idea that I think is a brilliant idea now. I said to my girlfriend, you take out the right foot of your shoes, I take out my left foot, if we have a chance to sign later, we will sign one on each foot, and this will directly make up a double signature... Facts have proved that I am very wise.
In a few moments, Wade walked past me... Go inside the store and participate in the event.
Then we waited until the staff came and told us that we could line up, and we lined up together at the side door of the store. There are security guards who strictly control the position of the stand and will never let you go one step further. We were the second fans to go in, and before us it was Dad with a few very small children, who came out in a minute. Then my girlfriend and I went in with a sneaker in our hands, and in front of a bunch of reporters and staff, Mr. and Mrs. Wade stood on the stage, and I asked the staff to take pictures of us with my mobile phone. I shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Wade, and then it was time for a group photo. I have to say that Union is so beautiful, she doesn't look like she is 44 years old at all.
The photo is almost done, I held up the sneakers and said can you help me sign, he happily agreed, let the staff bring a marker, but unfortunately only black, Wade asked me to sign the white part of the midsole, I said yes!! After he signed it quickly, my well-behaved girlfriend also handed over her one, and also got the signature! Under the gaze of the crowd, we left the scene. I couldn't wait to take a picture at the door.
At this time, I was confused, my face was hot and dizzy, I admit that I was so unproductive, and this experience still looks like a dream in retrospect. However, just as I was confused, a door opened and came out, Paul George...... I was stunned for three seconds before he walked over before I reacted and shouted PaulGeorge!! He looked back at me and waved at me. It's really tall... (To be continued)
