Online is nearly impossible for the majority

btw how do you order off ndc us since you're in Canada?

I have an address in the us with cbiusa.com. That's how I get my nikeids too

I don't understand the "hype" around this shoe?... Can't believe these are reselling for that much.... smh

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

The only thing that upsets me is that there were problems with this new method, which caused me to miss out.  If everything went normally, and they sold out, I would be cool with that, but when its flawed from the start, it's discouraging.  I understand Nike wanted to try this out before the carmines release, but this wasn't the shoe to try it on.  Nike definitely should have tried this on a GR or even a surprise restock.  And seeing how the timer doesn't work well for FTL, Champs, or EB, what makes Nike think that will work well for them?

The only time I camp is for shoes that I truly want.

Exactly, if I have a fair shot and don't get the kicks oh well on to the next, but when Nike screws something up and screws my chances, burns me man.

WELP....

 

[boosthog]

Nike is just not learning. If they want to really control this, they could create a separate site for the new releases.

But they don't want to do that because they won't be able to brag about their website traffic in board meetings.

Until it effects their bottom line they won't change anything for our benefit.

Right lol. I guarantee you the guy in control of the twitter account is doing this after people that missed start going in on nike lol.

It's unbelievable how Nike manages to **** up every time they implement something new on their website. If I ever did this with the websites I manage, they'd move onto another vendor ASAP.

*crosses fingers that the agency that outsources their work to me eventually lands Nike as a client*

 

[dbchoops]

Why are these hyped? All kobe 9 low sit in stores

 

[fallenz3ro]

@Piston Honda  the thing is, the shoes still sell out. Even with all the screw ups, as long as they make their money they are good.

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

Limited + Premium = Hype

View media item 986204Do the math.

 

[goat4521]

If these wouldn't have been limited they would still be sitting like the other 4 EM's. Hype machine at its finest.

That is true, but Nike still has to put in extra man hours to correct something that should have been correct the 1st time around. That's wasted resources.

LOL negligible.  just a couple guys doing couple hours.

You would think they would have a testing region to their site where they can test these things before they allow them to go live to the public.....

 

[addy85]

Since Nike was a debacle this morning my local footlocker came through for me

I hope there's a restock so everyone can get another shot at getting them. 

 

[pinoy78]

Thats what

They tweeted the link 10 minutes before with a countdown clock. When the clock expired, no option pick size on desktop & mobile sizes showed but it would not add to the cart. Eventually mobile users could add to cart about 5-10 minutes later.

That's what happened to me too.
