What To Do To Pass The Time While Camping Out For Sneakers

Maybe this was your first release. You may have forgotten some essentials that can hold you down during these releases. Welp, you'll know better next time. Write this stuff down.

It's three hours before the release and you know you're gonna get that extra pair you was going to flip already. Why don't you take that time to get your eBay page ready so you can flip "On Sight"? *Kanye West voice*

If you're on one of those overnight (or longer) campouts, why not use the time for something productive? Cop that Rosetta Stone and learn Mandarin or Cantonese—then maybe next time you can cop straight from the factory.

You will always meet different type of people at these releases. Why not get their info and link up at the next release, and then the next, and the next? You now have a potential connect and U.O.E.N.O it.

It's an unwritten code that when you are going to camp out for a release you have to rock those kicks that you know will have people snapping necks. And the best way to show the world that you're first on line and rocking some heat is to do it for the 'Gram. Ease up on those #hashtags though. Except for #ComplexKicks, of course.

Some people just don't get why sneakerheads do the things they do. "What's the line for?" is one of the most frequently asked questions you're asked when camping out. So tell them "I'm waiting for the Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus twerk competition" and they won't ask again.

Who has time to watch TV nowadays? Well, you do. Bring the laptop, find a WiFi connect, pop open Netflix and be prepared for the series finale at the end of September. Plus, Walter White probably can show you a thing or two. On the other hand, though.

Have you ever gone on Instagram on the Saturday morning of a major release and seen all of those epic line pictures? Better to take them than to just double-tap them. Hint: If you can tag every person in the photo, you've probably been camping out too much.

Depending where you are, this might be a difficult game to play. Still, there are bound to be some in every lineup. And if you want to increase the difficulty, try and Instagram them without the person noticing.

The quickest way to pass the time when camping out is playing games. Candy Crush has a cult-like following now so we know you have it on your phone. We just wouldn't know what to tell you when you run through those five lives. (Actually we do—move your phone's clock ahead.)
