Nike Foamposite Pro Solar: Released 4/25/14

[boosthog]

Villa's site explodes when they release socks. Doesn't matter what time they do theirs.

 

[chizzle]

and where did nike say this

No way of posting the picture on here but check their tweets about a hour ago, they replied to someone saying they're tweeting the link.

man this whole jordan  restock will probably occur right after 

thats why it got cancelled last time bc they released the foams prior

Maybe if you try again and they cross check your address or payment you're going to get megged? Problem is if they do meg someone for buying multiples. Then Nike doesnt instantly repost they'll just hold them until a big restock and post them . People would just be taking another guys chance away at getting a pair when they think they can double up.

isnt that what resellers do

 

[sneakersnake12]

WIth these selling at $350 to $450 the resellers are going to come out in force tomorrow.

Watch out the Resellers will be arriving.

I agree completely with the possibility that this was the case for this release, one big marketing ploy for NDC to milk that "Yeezy" hype for all its worth on its marquee 250$ model...But lets not forget the big huge hype machine NDC unleashed the night before by announcing that at 10am they would be making an announcement for Jordan fans!  I mean to me, that was a huge part of the reason that may have contributed to the site traffic and crash!  It was dumb of them to even make that announcement.  Why not just surprise us all, as they usually do with restocks, after all the stock for that mornings releases sold out (which of course they would have).  





UNLESS THAT WAS ALL A PART OF THE PLAN TOO!?  DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW!?

LOL. WAKE UP NOW!

 

[boosthog]

Leave it to Nike to make an IT mishap turn into a PR/Hype boost. BAHAHAH man...

 

[super t1ght]

Friday at 7 is a horrible time for a lot of dudes with families and **** to do. I wish they just dropped unannounced, but it is what it is

 

[boosthog]

So is 5am.

 

[generaljumpman]

so release these when most of America is off of work already?   I guess that will help there servers?  makes no sense lol

 

[boosthog]

As an IT person. Honestly you want to test it at max load. If they do it at a time to help "save" the servers, they will really have no idea whether they fixed anything or not.

yup. which is why majority of online video games have a beta testing period to test their servers

never turns out that way on release though

Yea but if they tested it out on 'unpopular crap' then they would not see it at max load. If they really wanted at max load they'd have the AJ restock and the snakeskin 11's drop all at the same time with these.

 

[boosthog]

Exactly. You ideally have to simulate "real world" conditions with stuff like this.

It's the same thing with actual engineering.

Ever wonder why bridge cables can hold way more weight than the actual load it will see? Or why rock climbing equipment is built to handle 1000 lbs+ ?

If one thing fails, you want to be sure the parts that are still existing can still hold up to the weight.

Having said that I think this appears to be more of a design flaw, rather than a server capacity issue.

true. hmmmmm. just drop some other js or whatever but seriously these servers should just function like they used to before 2012. didnt have issues before that. these foams are certainly 1/kind since they are the closest thing imo to the og 97 joints since the black/black foam pros 2003

Did anyone go for the GS sizes last Saturday on NDC?

I thought they sold out fairly quickly in GS but I was so busy with mens I couldn't be sure.

Why would Nike even choose an evening time? This Re-Release has travesty written all over it

7PM eastern on a friday is much worse than a Saturday 8AM release, coupled with more people wanting them now means that Nike will most likely crash tomorrow.
