No one said all night. But if you're relatively on top of your **** you know that the TDs came out around 10:00 (central time), so you would expect the same from these. the randomness is good for your average person that knows the sneaker is dropping today but sucks for anyone that is even semi "in the loop". Maybe it should have been FCFS until Adidas tweeted the link and that would be more fair.

Explain online FCFS to me....
 
that would be me! 
All these cats with 10 rep that got lucky on a pair are posting now

Go back to lurking

So....those with bots check out before everyone else who thinks they're about to check out gets the immediate OOS message once a link/page is "live"?

What I was getting at is maybe they should have allowed everyone who was on the link before it was even tweeted to purchase a pair and then implement the raffle after the link was tweeted. Probably not possible, just food for thought. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.
 
SHOUT OUT TO THE DUDE WHO HELD ME DOWN!

Struck out everywhere online and through raffles. Went to Bait and waited for 4 hours for unclaimed pairs. Owner of the shop told everyone all pairs are sold out. At this point, my sodium level was through the roof. I was gonna go home but decided to stop at the mall just cuz of an intuition. Asked the guy if there are any sizes left over and he asked what size I needed. I told him 11 and his eyes lit up and ran to the back. Bam!

When a company says a release is open to the public at a certain time it should be.  When apple says you can preorder or purchase iphones at a certain time on a certain date they are available to any and everybody to complete their purchase.  It's not everybody show up and we'll hand out raffle tickets and pick who gets to purchase.

I'm not in support of the camp life, I've never camped for a pair of sneakers in my life but if I choose to get up at 8am on a saturday morning for an online release I'd rather get it over sooner than later instead of watching my screen while some algorithm decides who's next.

Congrats bro, that's awesome!
 
I failed on the phone waiting for adidas. Asked about 10 buddies and only 1 hit today on the adidas site. And saw 2 friends on facebook get it and they have absolutely 0 interest in shoes. Not sure if there was really that much pairs as I keep reading people say there is or was it just really random with the people they allowed to get in.

Honestly I feel like Nike has the best process for buying limited sneakers, with the virtual line and all, along with the cart reservations. It makes everything relatively smooth.

Wasn't it established that the NDC line is semi-random too? I thought it was shown in the script of the waiting in line prompt that it just refreshes at a specific refresh rate.

NDC is random also, the line they put people in is phony and not fcfs but you're more likely to get through the line quicker than someone that got in line 15 min after you.

Yep. The whole line thing is just to pacify people. 

So is Nice Kicks the last option is it over?
