Yeah. That's me. Thank you guys though! It's a pretty amazing feeling.

Had a lot of noise about me being a heat fan though, as if that affected the quality of my submission.

I will post pics here when I get them.

Would you rather pay resell or retail?

Seriously.... Just because you look for the best price doesn't make you cheap, it means your smart with your money.

I want to assume they're sending them to you in your size, but it's Nike. Were you able to pick?

drewsone said:

Thanks man! Yeah I tried my best. Was a good 18-20 hours of work, locked in my room behind my computer screen

But was definitely worth it. Think I'm going to make some prints of them.
Yeah, they notified me and ask me for my shoe size. So I'm getting the whole pack in a 9.5

makes me sick because I know nikeDC gets a ton of stuff and we see leaked inventory all of the time. its stupid that Nike has turned the blind eye on them and I personally think the staff should be fired to make an example. @evilside exposed their RSVP process as a sham, dudes post receipts of multiples purchased on the same checkout (stupidly), its a local dude on craigslist that sells a FSR of gs and mens for every hot release including the prelude pack as a whole, we got the kickkspott post, and so on and so on and so on.

Bruh i PERSONALLY know 4-5 heads that work at nike DC and they HAVE NOTHING to do with the RSVP process. To just say that their entire staff should be let go? C'mon man, that makes zero sense and won't stop the problem. I'm sure there's a corrupt few there and they probably manipulate the RSVP process and deserve to lose their jobs, but lets not just cast blame on everyone.

The actuality of the situation is that 90% (probably more) of nike DC RSVP's go to a consistent group of BOT/RSVP service owners (pretty sure the KS dudes and their cohorts are part of this group). Sadly, these guys have locked the process/system down. Personally, I can't hate on them, as sadly, its what the game/hobby has become (please dont crucify me NT for calling this a "game"). We either have to adapt or pay resale. That or just NOT buy the shoe. Its a crazy concept i know.

and you also personally know they let people buy full size runs too. ill scale back the whole staff as it was dramatic but the managers all need the axe. its no ifs ands ors about it.

and it makes no sense to call that group BOT service owners as im sure we have seen better developers try and fail there. its simply rigged and they only let a few scraps actually become available to the general public.

I've personally never seen dudes cop FSR's of a limited shoe at Nike DC, but I wouldn't be surprised if some KS or someone similar has a team of youngins or heads win the RSVP's for him/their team... I'd def like to see pics of dudes buying FSR's of kicks at NDC... never seen or heard about THAT... Post pics if you got em... Like I mentioned before, I know many heads in there and I'm curious to find out if this is happening and if they are even hip to it...

I have no reason to lie.

we saw evidence during the champ pack X release
we've seen on the forum a pic of a receipt from nikeDC for 4 pairs of the same shoe.
also, its a dude on craiglist that been having FSRs too. you know where he got them from.

I know these dudes, cuz i hit them up about a couple preludes. They told me that they hit up NYC for like 5 weeks straight for all the preludes (both NTNY and the other NT in LI i think) and they had a bot that was winning the RSVP's for em. Again this is what they TOLD me via text. Take it how you will.

Yep. I know the dude who sells Rsvps. Sad, but they are cheating.if you can't beat em join em.

bigj505 said:

im 0-10 so far. i DMd them multiple times within seconds of the tweet and have never gotten a reply. Sat in from of my CPU for the BHM kobes and tweeted as soon as they posted it. Nada
its pretty obvious something is going on up there and ive been saying this for the longest. we have a niketalker that works there and he hasnt spoken up not once every time i say its conspiracy.

I am working at this. His paypal features a fake name, so i have to figure out who he is. All i know is he is a white guy under 30 and works at NikeDC. He got me some Lavas early and then texted me about a week ago guaranteeing rsvps for any shoe. He explained and so now, im trying to clock him.

bigj505 said:

knew something was odd when they opened with the white cement 4s and didnt have a FSR

between people that use the rsvp twitter apps and the people that pay off the rsvp dudes it looks like us regular users have no chances.
check out the footlocker page. looks like hoh at pg plaza. also, wrong thread

Yeah i preferred the risk of robbery and physical assault offered by the FCFS method. At least i could fight off line cutters and people sneaking in the mall. Twitter RSVPs is flawed, because its based on speed of reply. It should be open for ten minutes, and then the winners should be picked randomly. What idiot didnt realize a script could be written to let people cheat? I.havent programmed in nearly 5 years and my first thought was i should try and write a TwitterSnipe app... Of course every sneakerhead with half a brain about.computers thought the same...

When things like that happened/still occur till this day, "cleaning house" is a must regardless if some employees are innocent...Only solution at attempting to rectify the issue...

WHo's to say they just didn't buy other buyers out immediately after copping? They easily could've bought em for $2K of other "winners" and just racked up .... THis is common place in NYC...

The BIG time resellers just cop off other winners and resell for even HIGHER... and it makes sense with the chip pack as it was MAD limited...

That first post is viable as before Nike Corporate started managing the tweet process mad shadiness went on... That old manager (older black lady) i dont think is even there anymore... Can't see this happening CURRENTLY...

Those aint chip packs though bigJ...

Those are some kobe 7's... which might not of even had a limit for that particular release (cant see style codes so dont know WHICH kobe 7 that is)...
