I have a feeling this is going to be an easy cop on NDC. I've been right about this release so far, and something tells me they're gonna have a reeeeeally large stock for this, and WILL be ready to handle the server load.
Consider these reasons:

• Nike only sent limited quantities to boutiques for a reason - to control this release. The last few hyped releases haven't gone over well and Nike knows this. They were never planning on huge quantities in stores to prevent people from getting upset and starting riots and $#&@. That's why they only sent a semi-large stock to 21 Mercer (their exclusive boutique) for heads who want to cop in the traditional campout style. 
• Hype is too big. Nike knows how big this hype is and again, doesn't want another Galaxy Foam release.  They want to discourage resells (because lets face it; Nike WANTS our money) and prevent the bad press associated with salty hypebeasts.
• Look at how much stock was allocated to A, B, and C (and also D) list celebs. I figured this before any stores had confirmation of stock - Nike can't dodge bad press by giving away all of the world's Y2s to celebrities to show off on Instagram. Therefore, they anticipated how many people would want these shoes IN ADDITION to the celebs and produced enough to satisfy the thirst. This is why I think the April date was pushed; Nike claims it wasn't, but I think it was to produce more pairs.

Basically what it comes down to - Nike wants people to buy their product, from them, and they know how big the hype is. This release is different from the Galaxies because with a shoe like this, even people like me who aren't heads (I don't own a single pair of J's and more than likely never will) want to cop. Nike wants us to them our money, not to resellers on eBay. They WILL come through, I'm confident.

What @!%@*#$.

 

[johnnyhardaway]

looks like nikemontalban got a call from the corporate

 

[space ghost]

I also tweeted at exactly 4:21 and again probably missed this chance too.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

It makes sense, but it still seems optomistic to think they'll change their ways based on the Galaxy release. This is Nike, and while most sensible people would agree with your line of thinking, they've proved that the hype is more important to them in the past.

Doesn't mean it wan't rigged.  21 Mercer has pulled some shady crap with limited released stuff in the past this wouldn't surprise me at all.  BTW if it wasn't rigged please explain this to me
