Ready for things to get hairy out at your favorite retail spots? We’re less than 48 hours away from the commencement of the biggest shopping period of the year, set off like a firecracker with sales crazy enough to get even the laziest consumers out of bed and into line before the Harbaugh Bowl goes final. If you’re in LA or Tokyo and sneakers are are the top of your list for day-after-Thanksgiving shopping, consider the deceptively named Brooklyn Projects, who’re offering a raffle ticket for every purchase on the 25th. Giveaway items include a Nike SB backpack in a golden yellow with black and red accents that’s vaguely reminiscent of Dom Deluca’s ‘Reign in Blood’ Dunk Highs SB from earlier this year. That bag is an unreleased sample that’ll never make it to retail, but might the Eric Koston-signed Kobe x Koston Lakers-leaning basketball jersey be more valuable? Add in a third mystery item to be revealed in the store on Friday, and you’ve got all the makings of a must visit; will you adjust your shopping plans to include Brooklyn Projects?
