No matter how much you try to prepare by studying our weekend release guides, copping sneakers is more difficult than ever in 2015. Between resellers, bots, and fellow collectors, seemingly everyone wants a piece of the sneaker pie.

But there's a big difference between getting lucky online and actually putting in the footwork and research required to lock down your pairs. One sneakerhead, YouTuber Tony Mui, recently uploaded a clip that perfectly explains what it's like to hustle for that coveted pair. He covers everything from raffles to first come, first serve scenarios and finishes off with that unmistakable bliss of finally getting the pair you've been pining for. 

With that said, hopefully you've already started making the rounds for this weekend's "Chicago" Air Jordan 1s.
