    I believe it's more of the older people on NT having trouble.

    I think it's ******* about time, footlocker, footaction and champs reservations are finally working in the ny area. I really do hope this levels the playing field. Good luck to all.

    What's going to happen if shoes don't sell out on Saturday
    Can anyone buy what's left for example after 6 pm as an example at a cult off time

    I see the advantages to this app
    But does every release need the use of an app

    Like the black/white 3's lol

    You have til 6pm to pick up the shoes. After that I'm sure anyone can buy what's left. Someone correct me if wrong.

    You're right, it's pretty simple and they give a detailed description of the app

    don't really like the app as it currently runs

    it's based off "loyalty" but how would you spend money with the company when shoes were being backdoored just weeks ago?

    most people only won raffles for less desirable shoes

    plus I just never sign up for memberships

    they were worthless til now

    The memberships were good for the coupons and what not. You can go sign up online now and just get some everyday stuff to hit the $300 needed for platinum.

    that's what I'm saying

    the coupons were excluded for anything worthwhile

    anything else I buy elsewhere

    I had the footaction membership back in the day when it meant something and they sent you cool things like release posters and sneak peeks

    I still don't understand the head start feature. It makes more sense if you were purchasing the shoes online but not for a raffle (draw) through the app.

    Those with a head start get their reservation submitted before those without it.

    What good does that do though if the entire thing is a raffle system?

    Talk to a manager and said the dm said footlocker cooperate is happy with the raffle system so far.

    Imo there's goods and bads but there's still is flaws and ways around it but it's still new.

    We'll see how this thing goes when it goes into full effect in every city.

    It increases you chances of securing the shoe.

    Just curious how much of an allotment of the inventory they are giving to those with the benefit of head start vs those that don't. Just seems like more of a loophole to me. If you're gonna have a true raffle system, eliminate head start.

    I believe it's all the stock. And no, this isn't a loophole. It's stated as how the raffle works, not sure why you would consider it a loophole. They want to reward customers that shop at their stores. Giving everyone a fair chance will just lead to people creating fake accounts, which is what we see with nike's draw system. Although I think FTL has some stuff to work, I do think it's a step in the right direction.

    You can only pick up one from the store you won at if you won at other stores I believe you can purchase them too. One idea for the app could be once you pick up from one store you can't access the other stores.
