When I went to a signing last year, he only signed shoes bought that day. But I think its NM, not him that does that. They turned away people even meeting him if they didnt buy something. Which CL found out later I heard and sent them something in the mail.
That was nice of CL. I have a feeling NM will stick pretty closely to the "must buy that day" policy. I'm sure there will be a lot of people, media, etc. and NM will for sure want to make sure the customers who buy that day don't get dissed.
I'm on a ban regardless, but I'd be more inclined to buy if NM had better stock. I've been a little disappointed with it these last couple of seasons, which is too bad cuz I have an awesome NM shoe SA.
