it didn't load because of the way the webpage is coded. The images img src script is set to be loaded from a resolved domain, < img src = "/etc/etc/ejtjt.jpg" > It didn't load because the code asked for a picture from the ip address instead of the finishline.com domain.
I think some of you people need to take some type of web design class or google some stuff before you start going "web site sucks" crazy. Their website is fine 99.9% of the time. It's only when their is immense load that their site fails and any site will fall if enough people start using sql heavy scripts (such as the cart and checkout systems). All they could do is upgrade their servers, but what's the point in paying thousands extra, maybe tens of thousands, every month just for something that happens 10x max per year....during "special" releases on a website. Financially and logically, it makes no sense.
I thank finishline for even giving us an opportunity to get them, even though I didn't. I'm happy for everyone who got them, even resellers. Some of had the info and we didn't take action, that's our fault, stop blaming everyone else. All the time some of us have put into trying to get shoes that we still don't have one pair of...we could have paid the damn resell prices by now.
