GF accidentally stumbled onto PSG kit release in Paris

I'm going to preface this with a Cool Story Bro and :csb: to get it out of the way beforehand because I know it's not that amazing, but I'm amped so I figured I'd share it anyway.
So, my girlfriend travels every year, and we have a tradition where I choose one authentic kit from the country she goes to and she picks gets at the team store. She's done it several times in England, Germany, and Italy, where she got my favorite one which is a MB4 Roma home shirt. This year, she decided to go to France and flew into Paris to stay there for a week before going elsewhere. Obviously, I'm a Zlatan fanboy, and I love PSG's shirts so that was my immediate answer.
Well, today, she decided she was going to go pick it up. When she got there, it was around 1PM, and it was closed. The guy held out his hand to signal 5 was when they'd open so her and her sister went shop a bit. Around 3:30, they noticed a line forming so she decided to get in it clueless to why it existed just so she wouldn't have to wait later. 30 minutes before it opens, she texts me pictures of the store, and she tells me she'd been waiting for an hour, which shocked me. It shocked my until I looked at photos again. The photo was of their 15/16 kit on display. After a quick Google, I confirmed that she had, without any prior knowledge of it, stumbled into near the front of a long arse line at Boutique officielle du PSG for the release of the 15/16 PSG kits. She told me that people were all pretty pumped about it, too.
Again, it's not the most amazing thing to ever happen, but it's hilarious to me that she just thought this was some every day occurrence or something. People just lined up every day with that much enthusiasm. I mean, you could buy it on the Nike app, but I'll take pride in having one of the first ones to come out of the shop.

That's pretty cool. I'm surprised they weren't on sale Saturday since they played their last match in them. I've never understood the rationale behind some kit release dates though.

Is that the one by the arc de triomphe?

That's a legitimately cool story, bro. You need to lock her down.

Pretty cool...
Reminds me of when I was in Paris last year the day of the Germany-France WC knockout stage.
Stumbled into the Adidas store on the Champs-Élysées...b/c French kits were Nike, every single employee was sporting a Deutschland kit. You could tell they were tired of explaining why they were wearing them that day.

No, Paris. Nice isn't anywhere near there silly.

Come on, guys. I'm a software engineer, and she's a historian. We're both so hideous that we don't even take photos.

Plan on it, man. She's the GOAT in my eyes... except that she left me with a 9 week old kitten who is super hyperactive and required a late night emergency trip to the vet last night. It's like having an infant who is super athletic and has claws that are daggers that are in your leg most of the time.

Apparently, the Nike app had it exclusively last week, but everywhere else, including the PSG official store, had to release it on the 27th. So, I'm guess it was a Nike PR move to sell shirts with direct profit due to people seeing it and wanting it immediately.

Makes sense, for Nike at least.
That looks like the Champs-Elysees store near the Arc...I stood in a similar looking line there last year.
Glad your girl was able to snag one for you
