The (unfortunate?) fact is that we still will go through those hoops. They make us want the product enough that we'll camp out, we'll create multiple accounts, we'll check forums to see the quickest way to get em. Nike cares about how consumers buy their products, but they don't care who, when, where, or why. So they can still do what they want, and we'll still do what we have to. Even if you and I don't go jump through the hoops, two more people will.
I hear what you're saying, but using AR on this release out of nowhere and the Air Max Day nonsense they pulled (I know people that are hardcore AM1 heads and they were livid.) isn't the same. The way I see it, folks aren't upset that they sold out or that they're possibly limited. That happens, there's fake sellouts on SNKRS from what I see, all the time. It's the jumping through the hoops that I don't understand. When those Atmos were released you knew they were a QS days before the release, if you did your homework. There were a few spots that got them and they were made available and you knew the rules of the game. This nonsense literally just pops up and then it doesn't even work correctly from people reporting in here. That's not how you should treat a release for SB at this point. I love respectfully debating SB with my SB sisters and brothers in here. You folks are the best! I'm super passionate about SB. But, I just can't get behind this stuff for people that had to deal with this today on SNKRS.
But for those of you who actually want the shoes, don't sweat it. They'll either be a wider release or you can cop one of the other ten styles of high top black dunk and gum sole variants that nike's put out.
