I expect so much more from a company netting 6billion. No way was the communication from Nike to Footlocker not crystal clear about how to handle this release. Either way you cut the situation, from the outside looking in...it's not a good look for Footlocker.
Considering how much money they make from their website alone, you would think that footlocker would invest more money & attention into their websites, just to make sure that their revenue isn't interrupted by server crashes.
I agree, these brands have too much power over us as consumers. Look at what resellers are doing on eBay? We need to be smarter, unite, and purposely not buy into a major release just to prove a point.
@evilside what happened to your twitter? You were a dope follow, COME BACK!
Between the Yeezy's and the Bred 1's, I've definitely considered experimenting with a bot this week to see if it'll help me any for either one of these.I just need one.
Have we figured out the science behind what type of internet connection you need for these online only releases? I've read the bots and scripts don't work on footlocker's website. No?
It's safe to say that the sneaker community has changed tremendously since the creation of this site. Too much info, and info being so easily accessed is what's wrong with the sneaker world now! Damn social media.
Any body seen the red tech fleece sweats? I was at the Running store at The Grove in LA, and one of the employees complimented my grey pair and asked if I seen the red ones. It's crazy how fast that release went left. Who would have thought a pair of SWEATS would sell out?! Smh
I am curious why Footlocker had the green light to make a huge announcement, and then minutes later had to change it to "online only." You'd think that a major company would have had it all figured out, especially knowing the "chaos" it would cause ... people calling stores, DURING THE HOLIDAY...
LMAO! This YEEZUS era in Kanye's career has made it so hard to be a proud fan. Him losing his Nike deal is a huge blow to his brand, and Adidas is a horrible look. How do you go from Louis Vuitton, Nike, APC and Guiseppe...lol, to Adidas/Y3? Major downgrade.
Nike should re-release the air...
For the show at Staples, I can't decide if I want the GA floor section or seats, prob section 107 or 112? Who knows Staples well enough to determine the best move. I haven't been to a show there in a few years.
I'm hoping Nike keeps the fuelband going and give Jawbone a little more competition. I was in love with my fuelband when I first got it in 2012, and after 4 different bands, I'm ready for 2.0. Nike, whassup?!
I was on the fence at first like the rest of you, and then I saw those high res pics? Wouldn't be mad at having those in my collection. Might have to ebay the situation.
