I struck out of 4 raffles and had a bad feeling about today. I was prepared to pay resell because I wanted these so bad.

Footlocker randomly came through. It took me a few hours of refreshing/adding to cart to get the Concords. Today is a good day!

Good luck to everyone else!

My sessions keep getting timed out on FNL after adding to cart.

It's 2015 and they haven't figured out how to remedy these issues.

Still trying to add my wife's 7Y to cart on NDC. Her add to cart on her PC has been stuck since 10! Almost 4 hours and counting now.

update: Ok i guess we give up on the 7Y. Off to play ball for the first time this summer. I hope everyone got to grab at least one pair. Nike still showing stock, keep trying guys. SNKRS seems to be the way to go again.

I entered my name in the raffle for the Chicago 1s but when I saw the list for my size, my hopes for a pair dwindled away. FML

So there's no way I'm getting those Chicago 1s, even above retail, without 58 raffles and back-door hookups/bots right?

Just give it to me straight, people. :(

Rules to keeping shoes clean:

Wear a throwaway pair when it rains or has rained (meaning a pair you don't plan on preserving). It takes very little water for it to splash on your shoes when walking.

The kind of fabric makes a huge difference, leather being the easiest to clean. Canvas or suede is bearly uncleanable.

The shape of the sole can make it easier to clean. The Roshe have a smooth sole, no bumps (usually), so you can really wash them easily. Other shoes have a bumpy sole, so dirt gets in and it's almost impossible to wash off the dirt as it gets in.

Personally, following that, I just wash the sole, the rest stays clean. If you bump your toe on rub the heel on some stairs though, it will get dirty so be careful with that.

Times like these, I wish I know low people in high places.

Same boat as you but I'm so hopeful that I'm passing on the AM90 Infrared for the Chicago 1s



Decided to see what the fuss was all about...

i always have Nike, Finish Line, Foot Locker, Eastbay and FootAction open on release days.

there's always resellers and praying to catch a restock.

if i cant get it sitting in my own bed online then its not worth the trouble.

I loved it when Nike Saturday releases were at 5am PDT. I get up about 4:30am regularly on Saturday mornings and can sit at my computer to shop online at release time.

Now I hate it that it's at 7am PDT...I get up at 4:30am to get ready for my running club that starts to run at 7am PDT. I tried shopping for the black/red 11 lows last Saturday using the Nike SNKRs app while on a 9-mile run at the same time...that didn't work so well, yo. =( lol

I want to cancel my order. I was able to get them at FTL with my military discount.

I feel like my chances at the 1s is going to be low since I'm working. They block Twitter links and have stupid IE settings.

Just depends how much you like the model (in low form).

I wouldn't but I haven't much liked any of the mid colorways when converted to low form. Just a personal thing though.

If you like them, go for it. Wearing out the low while resting/preserving your mids makes sense. Also strikeout potential on those Shattered Backboards seems high, also something to consider.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

I haven't landed one Jordan/or Nike Lab anything that I have truly wanted going back into 2014. Ive had maybe one successful online experience. I don't expect to land these either and I want them badly. I'm always ready right when they go live and it doesn't matter. It's becoming a joke and then I pop on here and bitch on and off the whole day lol

I refuse to pay for a bot and play all the bs games you have to do to land a pair, Id rather just bitch than go down that route.

I miss the days of easily getting a pair of any Jordan I wanted when I was younger.

If it was me, yes, because I'd actually wear the lows.

I missed out on the georgetowns but the way I do it is just 5 browser windows open and the SNKRS app on an ipad. Once you click Add to Cart, just WAIT even if it takes 3 hours. Raffles are a big no-no here in Atlanta where traffic is bad and stores are 10 miles apart with shady employees refusing to give tickets. I'm glad online actually gets me something nowadays whereas 2013 or earlier I basically had zero sucess outside of raffles.

Well, Nike Store cancelled the Chicago and Pinnacle release. Hopefully, it's not a random drop.

I'm not on Twitter and message boards like that right now.

I have to work tomorrow so I'll sigh be clicking incessantly on Foot Locker and Co.

Man I need these bad, so clean.



So is Nike going to actually do something about the bots this time or..

I haven't tried ordering from eastbay, footlocker, or finishline in a while which site offers the best chance?

Well I'm out. Not bothering on the 1's now, Last time I tried Finishline.com they screwed over my debit card.... like charged 3 times.

lol nike.com can go f themselves. Whole thing is a joke. Bots and bs have been going on for so long and then they decide just hours before release to pull the plug.
Glad they're tired of it, but whats their next move.

So are they truly going to fix the issue for future popular releases online or is it everyman for themselves type crap in stores which I can not see being a good thing.

I picture even more fights in the future lol

See... Nike didn't fix shit. Resell on ebay might be even higher possibly now.

If you don't have instore connections or win a raffle, how the heck do they expect "people that truly" want their sneakers to land a pair.

What was the point of their dumb app now?

And the rest of these sites if they're still putting them up are gonna get even more traffic, bots etc and fail lol
