I don't think this affects NDC launches. This is pretty much the same thing Niketown has been doing the past 6 months. Only difference is youre entering from home instead of in store. I don't see the big deal.

This is not for online releases
This is for in store and should help these NY dudes with the rigged and shady stores

I will say it will be a lot harder to win raffles at Niketown now. Not everybody has time to go in store to enter, but they sure can find time out of their day to do it online.

Fine by me, because I aint taking hours out of my day to enter a rigged raffle.
Better off taking my chances online for an in-store release.
LMAO @ the employees of these stores. They are ******.

They've always done this. It's similar to the Twitter RSVP but in raffle form.
If you don't have a Nike store in your state, then it doesn't apply to you.

Can't disagree with that. Let's see what they do next with on line releases.

Wait I thought they were raffling a spot online? As in release 30k shoes online and instead trying to get your size you are guaranteed the size online?

If they limit and or eliminate online releases to wipe out bots and just put shoes in stores this will def be a game changer

No way they kill online
They make 100 percent profit as opposed to wholesaling
They are dumb for not selling more online as it is

They cant do it just in stores. People want to buy shoes even in Wyoming, where they likely have no nikestores

So if this is about in store then what about online?

Crazy but, still wondering what changes for online releases.
I am thrilled to see that those ******* asshats that backdoor for friends and family take a L.

I just thought about something. This really ***** up those NYC boi's up there don't it. As far as folks buying multiple pairs. Well not just them but any Niketowns that was doing that

Only difference however is it is randomly generated and not where you are going up against guys on mega servers with a million fake twitter accts. You can still have a million accts if you have that much time on your hand but, the picking process is 100% random and open for exactly 30 mins. The guy who submits a raffle entry at the 30 mins mark is just as likely as the guy at the 1 millisecond mark.

its going to take a little extra work, getting cell numbers and creating nike accounts with text verification. i hope nike banned cell numbers that don't pick up releases. i like it much more than ftl raffles where you going up against multiple families of ten.
