so true, at first the midnight thing made no sense but now a whole plan of action is going into effect. definitely will cut down on the resellers its either online or in store. good thing i live 2 mins from a mall haha i can missout online then goto store still lolOriginally Posted by BlackJesus69
Nike is simply creating the new standards for a shoe releases that other stores will follow suit, only a matter of time.
Twitter RSVP for Nike Stores eliminated all campers for Playoff 12s : Any local Footlocker, Finish Line or chain department store can create a twitter account and RSVP for that specific store in any location, no more camping out at malls. No more violence or mob mentality brewing outside department stores. Twitter RSVP the day before release at random time, pickup release day. No lines except other RSVPS or buzzards, waiting for scraps or no shows.
NDC releases no longer midnight, but random time after 8AM EST on release day. This will keep the site from crashing because mass amounts of people will not be camping online, bogging down the server(s). I doubt Nike will release the shoe at exactly 8AM EST, they might but I predict it will be in afternoon, a fair time for anyone in the US but random. Nike Store has no reason to have the server capacity of Google or Facebook full time, it's daily traffic is nothing compared to those sites. Checkout will be smooth for those that get there first, till eventually inventory will sell out long before the server has chance to crash or even lag.
People will laugh when remembering that consumers actually camped out for shoes, just like people use to drive to Blockbuster for a movie.
this change might make me quit the sneaker game...Originally Posted by EuGeNiLe GTS

"yo son, how come your not drinking tonight"

Was just thinking this, especially if you're on est or cst time. If they drop at 8am you'll have to choose one or the other....or be in line and try your cell phone at the same time.

It's not random though, they said it's gonna be at 8 on the dotOriginally Posted by memphissfinest
THAT RANDOM TIME AFTER 8AM IS SO CLUTCH FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO WORK ON A COMPUTER ALL DAY AT WORK. SINCE I GOT TO BE ON MY COMPUTER ANYWAY, MIGHT AS WELL PULL UP TWITTER AND NIKE.COM AND KEEP IT ON CONSTANT REFRESH WHILE I WORK AND BECAUSE THE TIME IS RANDOM HOPEFULLY THAT MEANS LESS STRESS ON THE SERVERS FROM EVERYONE KNOWING EXACTLY WHEN THEY WILL DROP.
EXCELLENT.
This will be the case for all upcoming launch dates.Originally Posted by aFamous
Eastbay is actually changing their time now. I got a DM that they will release the Elite series at 7 CT/8 AM ET. I can't say if this is for all new releases, but I can confirm this is for the Elite Basketball series.
