On another note, should I just go ahead and drop a platinum pair for 1880? I didn't even ask for that much, the dude just threw me a huge offer. Should I take em? (Yeah the DMP and 2k dudes flaked.)

[swish hitter]

Dummies get caught up in a bid war...  Psycology is an interesting field...  You'd pay anything just so that cat bidding against you doesn't win.

I got to the checkout stage but got the spinning circle til it blanked out.

No idea only nike would know that. That was internal they did that for a reason.

I selected my size for the Plat's only as soon as the link dropped, definitely under 30 seconds or so. 

Frustrating, I really thought the stars were aligned for me considering the other great things that happened for me this weekend 

. I was going to rock these all summer.... I've been on NT since 2000 and a consumer of Nike since 97, where art thou sneaker gods 

? 

I know the reason why its showing. I pulled it up and its there just can't add to cart i have a guess why too but i cant share -- also dont know if they page will be valid to add to cart if they return to stock they might make a new page and this will still show out of stock. To answer the question about the why the site crashed -- Simple the servers couldnt handle the traffic. When you type in nike.com a request is made to a server to send you the information you requested. When 2 many requests are made the server gets jammed up and times-out aka white page/lagging -- To offset the jamming nike routed most of the people to a maintenance page making your transaction void. When you refreshed you also might lost your loading place in line which brings me to the checkout part.

For nike to place a hold on your sneakers you need to be at STEP 2 of the checkout (PAYMENT OPTION AFTER CLICKING THE NEXT BUTTON) that means hitting the next button at the shipping information @ step 1-- Many people got to the shipping information and got jammed up cause of the server lagg when they went to the payment screen which means -- YOU DO NOT HAVE A HOLD because the server didn't get your info so what your seeing in your cart isnt really there cause the server never got a hold place request -- So when you got to your cart after everything was cool the sneakers were removed cause according to the server you never got to STEP 2 cause of the lagg and timeouts-- NIKE DIDNT REMOVE YOUR SNEAKERS the server never got the info that you made it to the checkout payment part. People that got to the payment screen because they either reloaded or it just went through for them with no routed maintenance screen -- are the ones that have a hold.

I don't know what nike will do with the rest of the sneakers they have -- im sure there are some stuck in limbo and either will be restocked back to the site or nike will just pull everything and ship to stores. I hope they do the NDC but just by them pulling the link i doubt it.

Hope that helped some of you guys understand why your sneakers were not in the cart. Me for 1 was confused i thought after you got to the checkout page STEP 1 you got your pair held -- sadly not the case.

This makes a lot of sense to me, but step 1 is as far as I got and I was able to hold them.

You must have clicked that next step button and the server got your request. Nike said that you need to make it to the payment step (step 2) for there to be a hold on your cart -- Maybe it was a fluke -- Enjoy your pair!

Stop asking if you should take this or take that your an adult if the price sounds good to you then take it, no need to ask everyone to fill out a survey

Doesn't hurt to ask for a second opinion. No need to get hostile little things.

SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT EVEN IF YOU MADE IT TO THE STEP 2 PAYMENT SCREEN, YOU STILL WON'T HAVE A HOLD?

WHEN THE LINK WENT UP I CLICKED IT, ADDED A 10.5 TO MY CART, CLICKED ON CHECKOUT, GOT TO THE STEP 1 SHIPPING PAGE, THEN CLICKED NEXT TO GET TO THE STEP 2 PAYMENT PAGE. I WAS ABLE TO DO ALL THIS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. AFTER ENTERING MY CREDIT CARD INFO I HIT PROCEED AND THEN THE SITE CRASHED ON ME. ISN'T STEP 2 WHERE THE HOLD SHOULD BE? ALSO, THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT TO STEP 3 AND THE SHOES WERE STILL REMOVED.

I DID ALL THIS LOGGED INTO MY ACCOUNT ON MY IPAD BY THE WAY. YOU SEEM TO KNOW  A GOOD AMOUNT ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS. MAYBE YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN SOME OF US.
  

 

[feedtheego1982]

I think the key to this new system is patience..  Once the site crashes, which it will, just be patient and don't close ANYTHING.  I got way to "click"happy.  Everybody who got them seem to just let the computer do it's thing, mixed with a lot of luck.

 

[firmeporvida]

I'm sure this has been answered already, but I don't feel like going through 600+ pages, do these run small, big or true?

you should wear them and not continue to ask us what you should do. do whatever you think you should do with them, or feel free to send them to someone who will actually appreciate them and beat them into the ground

It's called shill bidding. The seller is doing that. Making u believe it is going for that much. SCAMMER!

EXACTLY.

Everyone claiming that Nike had removed their pair from the cart were either:

1. Not logged into the NIKE account WHILE placing the order.

2. Not actually on the PAYMENT screen (Step 2 — not that shipping detail screen)

Some folks also made the mistake of trying to checkout the pair they had in their carts way too quickly. I knew for a fact that the servers were indeed going to go down while I was placing my order so I made sure I kept my screen on STEP 2 the entire time and didn't even bother placing the order which is why my pair were legitimately put on hold.

Just got this e-mail a few hours ago reminding me to complete my order no later than midnight today.

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

One thing I noticed when checking out that no one else had mentioned was after I entered my cc info. It would give me a "timed out due to inactivity" error, but once the page came back up someone else's payment info was there. This happened several times. I said F-it and choose the paypal option, then voila!!!
