The only number that counts is the ms ping.....Unless you know exactly where nike servers are, than you can only use speedtest.net to estimate...Clicking the closest server to your computer will always show a super fast ping rate....Anything faster than 100ms is pretty good if your crossing the country...

I just HAD to register because of your stupid hypothesis. (Long-awaited, lazy registration)

Nike's revenue exceeds 20 BILLION yearly... You're telling me that a company with that much money won't spend SOME amount of money towards there website which I would say is there number one revenue stream right now.

The servers that Nike.com, NikeStore and anything within that realm is actually hosted in California (Palo Alto) in HP (Hewlett-Packard) HQ's. Now, with that said, regardless of where the server is located, Nike is a WORLDWIDE operation. People in UK will not be loading images and any site resources through Cali because Nike has the big bucks. Nike spends thousands and thousands for a CDN (Content Delivery Network). Basically, in short terms this copies all static resources (Images, JS, CSS etc...) and stores it in locations the CDN provider has. Nike uses Akamai (largest CDN in the world), has 37 locations around the world with top tier servers that cache and keep the resources. This means, you'll be loading almost EVERY site content from the nearest location of where you live. If you have a good upload speed, chances are your page will load a few milliseconds faster, webservers work as per load, so chances are the second that your page loaded... Several thousands of others did too.

With that said, I sure hope I can get to enjoy the community here. Cheers to my first post!

Yeah except once you get them in your cart on NDC you got em, you can get a size in your cart on EB and lose it putting your info in...that sucks.

But then again, it's hard to even get your size into the cart. Well most the time, not all the time. Luck of the draw for this tomorrow. GL to all!

Going to be trying for these but not really tripping if I miss out since my 2011 pair are still DS... If I get lucky, I'll sell my 2011 pair to someone who missed out.
