Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing the Jordan 6 Olympics for a while now. You know, the ones that originally dropped back in 2000 and then got a retro release in 2012? Yeah, those. I missed out on both releases, and the resale prices were just insane. But guess what? They’re back again this year, and I was determined to get a pair this time.

First thing I did was mark my calendar for the release date. I made sure I didn’t have any appointments or anything that day. Then, I started doing some research on which retailers were going to be selling them. I found a few online stores and some local shops that were getting them. I made a list of all of them, just in case.
Next, I set up accounts on all the online stores that were releasing the shoes. This is important, people! You gotta have your payment info and shipping address all filled out beforehand. Every second counts when you’re trying to cop a limited release like this. Trust me on this.
The day before the release, I double-checked everything. Made sure my alarms were set, my accounts were logged in, and I had my money ready. I even charged my laptop and phone the night before because you know, I am prepared for everything.
Release day came, and I was ready. I woke up early, got my coffee, and sat down at my computer. I had all the websites open in different tabs. The release time hit, and it was go time. I refreshed the pages like crazy, added the shoes to my cart as fast as I could, and prayed to the sneaker gods.
- It was a bit of a struggle, some websites crashed, and my heart was racing like crazy.
- But after a few tense minutes, I finally got that confirmation email.
- I secured a pair! I was so happy, I did a little victory dance.
A few days later, the shoes arrived. I carefully opened the box, and there they were, in all their glory. The Jordan 6 Olympics, finally in my hands. I laced them up and wore them around the house for the rest of the day. Felt so good.

My Final Thought
This whole experience taught me a lot about patience and persistence. If you really want something, you gotta put in the effort. And sometimes, even if you miss out the first few times, you might just get lucky eventually. So, if you’re after a specific pair of shoes, don’t give up! Just be prepared, stay focused, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get them.
