I went to Philly last week for my daughter’s birthday. I made a pitstop at Cherry Hill Mall because they always sell heat. I went to three stores that had the Air Max 97 South Beach, but my size was not available. Defeated I stopped by Champs. I asked one associate about the sneakers, and he told me they were sold out. Walking out a different associate stopped me and let me know that they may be still available via their handheld. He looked it up and BAM they were there. All I had to do was pay and ship them to my house. I’m not going to lie; I was hype AF. I wanted these sneakers but not willing to pay the $250+ resale fee. As many times I shopped at Footlocker and Champs I never asked anyone to look new releases up. Don’t make that mistake it doesn’t hurt to ask.
If you notice on the store website, it states “Available for purchase in select stores.” Go to your local store and see if they can order it.
Now to the discount. I wasn’t able to use it in Cherry Hill due to inputting the wrong numbers. They let me know I had seven days to fix it and come back to any store to use my discount. I got it corrected quick and went to my local Champs to get the discount. Being a Veteran, I was able to use SheerID for 20% off. SheerID is an American eligibility verification services company. It provides eligibility verifications for retailers, membership groups, and other businesses focusing on target markets such as college students, teachers, and military personnel. Each store is different. For instance, at Footlocker, Champs, and Eastbay you must be Active Duty, retired, dependent, or 30%+ disabled. At Ashley Stewart, you just have to be Veteran. Other stores you can be a student, teacher, or first responders.
