its not that hard if you know what you're doing, If they go the y-3 route again, it will be a similar outcome.. 

my orders for y-3 eu shipped today.. didnt get any pairs from US..

Was that in the same email? I just got an order change email. Nothing about regarding that.

2310 and still got cancelled? God damn. I was way after you, I would've been SOL then.

One of the dudes who order a 10.5 got his shipped and he was like 2415 or something...

I know that if you have the knowledge it shouldn't be hard, but as Adidas/Y-3 knows that this will happen they should implement a system to notice it. You backdoored?

Real talk, I got these manual and still got two more coming but they arent for me and they aint my size... feeling hella salty now. I could resell em to cop my size but I aint doing my homie like that. The other one's for the bae :frown:
 
Man I'm starting to feel like I got scammed by duedipiccherecycled. Atleast you guys got paypal refund. Haven't heard anything about my order, kinda wish I got my money back...

I am sure I missed a couple phases but its a good start...

Yeezy Drop Cycle in 20 Phases:

Phase 1 – Rumored dates for the next model/colorway start popping up.

Phase 2 – NT Yeezy thread gets flooded with LCs of the last Yeezy drop.  Please use the LC thread! If it is too good to be true then I suggest you move on.

Phase 3 – One of the Kardashians posts another filtered image of the shoe ‘confirming’ the release is coming soon.

Phase 4 – More images of the next drop start showing up across the internet. Some see a white dress, others see a gold dress. NT members continue to complain about the filters and lighting used in the pics.

Phase 5 – 2 weeks ahead of the rumored drop, people start asking their local shops or ADC customer service for information. Nobody knows anything, which results in the assumption that this drop is going to be extremely hard to get compared to the previous ones.

Phase 6 – People with ‘inside information’ start to surface. Some ‘know’ the production numbers, others ‘know’ the exact date and time of the release, and some claim to know the woman who sold the scissors to the person that cuts North West’s hair who is receiving the Friends & Family link 2 days in advance. Nobody really knows anything…

Phase 7 – Official confirmation of the release finally comes.  As a result, the NT ‘guest’ count quadruples in minutes. Yeezy thread is LIT.

Phase 8 – NT members living in NYC start to complain about backdoored pears. Canada NT members feel left out. Small town members say “online or bust”. European members feel shorted. NT members living in Bolivia question their life decisions.

Phase 9 - Lurkers start to surface. “Who is releasing these?”, “Will these be online?” “Can you spoon feed me?”, “Long time lurker, PM me that secret info.” Let me google that for you 'fam'.

Phase 10 – The computer science heads start to collaborate. “Code this, code that”, “C++ and don't forget to carry the one”, “After we eat, all of NT will eat!”. Members with no coding knowledge sit back in jealously and begin to chalk up the L.

Phase 11 – Everyones social media feeds are filled with raffle entries. Nobody seems to ever win except the botiques mailing list.

Phase 12 – In store raffle winners are announced. Winners boast, losers claim it was rigged.

Phase 13 – Drop day: Some haven’t slept in days, others have hypothermia. Websites are crashing left and right. Some get through with an easy +1, others complain that the bots got them all. “I hit submit but never got an email notification and the funds are still in my account, did I eat?!”,  “When’s the afternoon restock?”, “+3, easier than the last drop”, “I used the same address and card for my two orders, will they get cancelled?”. SALT. NT Yeezy thread can’t even be kept up with.

Phase 14 – Shipping confirmation emails start going out. Those that haven’t received one start to panic. Some feel the necessity to post their package weight. Nobody wants to know how much your package weighs. Some idiot boasts on social media with his order/tracking number. Another idiot reroutes that order or gets it cancelled.

Phase 15 – Cancellation emails start going out. SALT.  Some people haven’t heard anything since they placed their order while others have their pears in hand. These people contact customer service and get a cancellation email shortly after

Phase 16 – The lucky ones start posting pictures their stacks of Yeezy boxes as they get delivered. The members that struck out will say “You got eleventeen pairs?!!? I couldn’t even get one!”. SALT

Phase 17 – The lurkers give up and disappear. Guest count drops significantly.

Phase 18 –  New members who hit on the drop don’t pay attention to the rules and start listing their pairs for sale/trade in the Yeezy thread. Banned.  NT Yeezy thread slows down.

Phase 19 – @GrizzlyAnimal keeps the NT yeezy thread alive with trolling posts or hilarious gifs.

Phase 20 – See Phase 1.

You guy's have to keep in mind that adidas is not used to handling highly anticipated releases like this. Before Ye, what type of blockbuster drops did they have? JS? With that being said, I think they are dealing with all of the backdoor and site exploits on the go. What i think happened is

1. Those people who built a crawler for the cod10 number for the MR found it on thursday, back doored.

2.Orders were processed through whichever 3rd party processes their shipment s

3. By the time who ever is in charge of the yeezy project realized that stock had been depleted the timeline had already shifted and they had to do damage control.

4. Twitter went crazy and had all types of screen shots w/proof that release did not occur according to the terms that they originally tweeted, adidas twitter account goes mute. Also please consider that this method of release was a counter attack to the larger merchants who opted to not pick up yeezy season 1.


just my opinion.
