resellers would travel to the antarctic to get the for retail, i doubt a boring part of England would deter themEnd won't sell out in store because of their location, they're in a part of England where that sort of shoe isn't popular and most people from other cities won't travel too due to the distance.
They don't do phone orders so some people will actually travel and spend the day there, but Newcastle isn't exactly the greatest place to visit.
Somebody else on NT mentioned something similar to this idea:Honestly that's what the atc services get. Sure it's unfair for team manual but oh well. All the online retailers should develop a unique code like for the snkrs app. And randomly send those out to consumers. Like an online raffle then you have to enter that code to purchase the shoe. What else is a fair option?
Somebody else on NT mentioned something similar to this idea:
Nike should just do the raffling themselves. On the Tuesday and/or Wednesday before a release, Nike should tweet a page for the shoe where you enter your shipping and billing info and agree to have your CC charged if selected. Yeah traffic on that page will be bad but you should be able to get in to enter your info sometime within that 24 and/or 48 hour period. Any entries with duplicate CCs, names, or addresses should be automatically removed without giving notice as to why it was removed. Unfortunately, it would then be 1 shoe per household but it would force resellers to have to recruit tons of people if they wanted to win a FSR. While it won't stop resellers who win a pair or two, it should stop ATC resellers who are currently guaranteeing a FSR online. Then on Saturday morning, Nike should run the raffle and send out confirmation emails to the people that won and "sorry, better luck next time raffles" to the people that didn't.
It would be pretty unpopular but they could even take it a step further and give the people who missed out on the previous release a slightly better chance of winning the next raffle. Its far from perfect but it would at least take away the advantage that bots have.

While this would be practical, I doubt they will do it.
You better look again, the thirst for the 2015s has got people already paying more for 2013s.
you guys are assuming that everyone should be put on a level playing field with an online raffle. thats dangerous. are there bots? yes, but that doesnt mean that the person who is religious about clicking the link immediately should be on the same playing field as someone who doesnt even know what time they release online (even though the information is there).
Yea an online raffle would be the best way to handle releases
serious as cancer. the person who wakes up for the release and willingly tries, deserves the shoe more than the person who just threw their name in but doesnt want it badly enough to wake up and actually try for the shoe.Everyone has the right to every single pair of sneakers released as the next person
Looking at it any different is absurd...
You can't be serious
The person who camps for 3 days and convinces their family to join them deserves it more than someone who just wakes up and tries for it.Everyone has the right to every single pair of sneakers released as the next person

yeah thats what im saying. but i also see your point too.I feel like with that that kind of logic, you're generally saying that the resellers that put in the work to get multiple pairs deserve the sneakers than an average consumer that just wants one to wear.
