Nike stopping bots?

[C.Magneto]

Anyone else know more about it?

 

[waukeganwill]

glad to see they are making efforts, but when it comes to technology Im sure they will find a way around this.

If this increases my odds to get a pair of the upcoming 'Chicagos' I applaud this move.

Who needs bots when cats are backdooring stock.

Even at the corporate level.
Nike only fooling the naive consumer with this announcement.

Is basically the "Grey Market" wave from some years back?

From my understanding, yes. Bunch of YouTubers and IG people pushing that method.

Even if they do come up with a way to stop the current bots, I guarantee there’ll be an upgraded bot software that bypasses the new protections in no time.
To the best of my awareness and personal experience, no company has ever successfully stopped sophisticated botting software. Like I said at the beginning, maybe they can block the current botting software programs, but even that I doubt.

A friend of a friend got some Travis Scott's that way. I couldn't tell the difference or even care to tbh

Even the cushioning and comfort is the same?

 

[ogbobbyjohnson773]

dont they say this every 6 months?

 

[rocafella kidd]

Yeah, this is corporate BS guised under some “good” , Nike thrives off hype.. as a consumer we should be upset that we are willingly giving up the discretion and ability to decide what we want to keep and return to a corporation who created this in the first place. Unless they come up with a detailed plan of how they are specifically going to target resellers, this is corporate overreach and will affect the normal consumer. I’m not even a reseller but at this point when millions are trying to enter a shoe with only thousands in stock as much as I dislike resellers, they’re not the problem.

Yea right. They’re not gonna do anything about it.

 

[kickvicisous]

Thought they were already canceling orders that appeared to be using bots? Sometimes the same people working to stop the use are oftentimes the same ones creating bots and other automated services in the first place. No different than white hat vs black hat hacking
