was that his request disguised as a plea for help?
re: countdown, i have ZERO interest in them using this release as another guinea pig for that crappy timer.

"if you utilize social media, the early links will come" ...sad reference to Field Of Dreamswas that his request disguised as a plea for help?

A Fast Internet Upload speed helps too..
and even then on releases like this a ton of us will strike out sadly

Countdown timer might be worse because it brings traffic to the product page and will ultimately lead to the site crashing. A true TLO without people being able to predict the early link is the only way Nike can improve their online launches.

Rolling the dice on this one. If I cop, then I cop a pair I like. If I fail, then my bank account loves me more. Win/win with no pressure. Just staying off the reseller path as that's lose/lose for me.

no the real way for nike to handle that is upgrade its servers you mean to tell me you are a billion dollar company but can't withstand the stress of 50,000 people at one time.

AGREED. As much money as they REEL in they can pay for better servers or even get somebody to host for them during big releases. I swear idk why any of these big computer companies haven't cash out on them yet.

it just baffles me that if facebook can handle the type of traffic it sees daily then handling a jordan release shouldnt be that difficult if the proper measures were taken server side from nike.

Exactly. If people can still purchase off their website no matter the traffic that's all that matters.

No disrespect but if you're clicking the TLO link and not see your size, you are way too slow. Make sure you're using a streaming twitter platform like tweetbot or tweetdeck. I've always seen my size during a TLO launch, getting it to add to cart while waiting in line is another thing.

honestly, just get a bot. this shoe sh*t is baseball in the 90s, everyone's juicing. if you're not, you're already putting yourself at a disadvantage.

I think that all depends on your internet speed too. I've seen my twitter app on my phone go faster than my tweetbot or tweetdeck once before trying to RSVP. I've always got to click my size but then the "we are waiting to put the shoe in your cart" but then it says sold out every time. smh

Not saying Nike can't make improvements but having multiple users signing on to their accounts right before 8am, constant downloading of pages due to auto-refresh, then requesting the server to add to in 50,0000 different sizes all at once is really not a simple task. Then allowing those who already have the shoe in cart to purchase is another hassle in itself without crashing. Reason I prefer NDC over everything at this point is that when and if you do get the shoe in cart, it should be a 98% purchase. I haven't lost a shoe in cart since the SC x Gloves

Even though I wasn't the biggest fan of the Stecyk AJ1 x SB and only grabbed pairs to help friends, I hate not having complete sets and know without a doubt that I will have both of these Lance Mountains so I kept my eyes open for a pair of Stecyk's in my size since Friday. Ended up grabbing a DS pair off of FB for $194 shipped and invoiced this morning and am pretty happy about that. Will be really glad when I have the complete AJ1 x SB set once all the pairs have released too!
