I'm all for it regardless of if it's like SNS or SNKRS, both are better than the queue

It won't come remotely close to stopping the BS. SNKRs is botted to hell, confirmed will be too. Adidas is really dumb when it comes to this kind of stuff.

We'll see how they handle it, maybe they've learned from watching Nike and SNKRS, one can hope

Adidas actually thinks there's no exploit for confirmed on mobile so that should give you an idea how badly they're gonna botch the online version.

Maybe this is to reduce the amount of ppl online. You have to register to participate in the splash page/be able to check out. If emails don't match you can't check out/purchase.

Adidas needs an intern just to surf sneaker twitter all day and report back to the web devs

SNRS is the same way and it's botted up like crazy.
If anyone thinks this is going to be some kind of improvement that stops the bots they are in for a rude awakening.
It's looking like, based on the UK confirmed page that's up right now, that it'll be similar to the Draw but with a longer sign up time. The Draw is exploited like crazy.

Adidas probably hires a 3rd party programming team to design their website/launch program.
It would lead me to believe that if Nike and/or Adidas had a designated dept for programming and to combat bots, it wouldn't be as big of an issue as it is now.
These bots are doing some rudimentary syntax that I am sure a CS major can come up with code to fight it other than a simple captcha.
But if they do have a designated dept for it, then they are terrible at their job.
Even then so, at the end of the day the shoe sells out 95% of the time they put in those protocols so house wins no matter.

I don't think it's going to be like the draw because it clearly states "if you're quick" with the draw there is no need to be quick all you have to do is sign up and if you're selected then they charge you. I do believe it will be a hybrid of the recent SNS drops and the adidas queue. Where you sign up in order to access the queue/splash. Makes it so you have to have an account in order to stop thousands of guests from splashing

Have bought multi times direct from shop before.
Just remember they charge VA sales tax and shipping on the Paypal invoice. Good guys, no problems.

Remains to be seen, but anyone who thinks this is going to stop bots will be very disappointed haha

Eh at least you don't have to worry about trying to get them now
Just over 300 with shipping. Meh, win some, lose some, work takes precedence.
On another note, I didn't realize that Nike had a two year return policy on new/unworn/unwashed items. Was able to return 3 pairs of FKRs that I never got around to wearing and bought last year; that pretty much went to the OKs

adidas probably used a different type of material after the 1.0s?
all my 1.0s haven't stretched an inch, but my 2.0s, 3.0s, and inikis are def looser.

was just coming to say at least SL credited @freakydestroyer then I see how shady the site is. Maybe that'll throw people off from stealing links next time
It won't. SL just made hundreds off that stolen link. For every ignorant person that bought, SL got 6% of the sale. They don't give one F how shady the site is. Affiliate program has to pay up.

Thank you! Appreciate the response.
Good
Hard to get an answer sometimes when this thread moves a page every few minutes.
...Still not sure if I'm willing to pay resell on these. However, it seems like a good price.
