Nike x Tom Sachs Collab

Got my pair in today. They’re definitely roomy in the toebox area.

It's crazy people acting like the tasks took hours to do.. it could of been as quick or as long as you wanted it to be. 5 mins outta your morning for 1-6 pics and posting, Done. Now obviously there were people who went all out but I'm not gonna lie, I didnt do a single push up for wall drawing, my out and Back was pictures of flowers on my way to my truck with am out and Back badge i made, OBI was MAYBE a quick doodle. If you'd add up all the time you put in to it and sell the shoes for what they are going for now you'd probably still be making a few hundred+ per hour for your work. Or guaranteed you a pair of a limited shoes you most likely wouldnt of touched if they ran normal launch procedures. I think its a win win. And if you did it how you were supposed to and it improved your life a little, well thats a plus.

Facts, I just got lazy at the end and more I read into the winners, am surprised I didn't get an invoice lol - hopefully there's another wave. Don't want to pay resell for these by any means

What was you final score? I know what you mean, I was tempted to quit a few times but I actually started to get into the OBI part of it. Ive always liked art but never did anything with it, so it started to make me think of things to draw or do with objects to make art, which was cool. I wasn't for the Medicine Ball, Out and Back, or Read Before Bed. Got into using my cats cat tree with different openings for the 10 free throws. Easy ****. I was worried I'd do it all and not get a pair so I'm hella happy Sachs and Nike handled the release the way the did.

Edit- and yah i dont think there will be more. MAYBE Nike makes few hundred extras with the preorders for a SNKRS release but I doubt it and would be hard as hell to hit if they did.

Ended with 725 before cut off, now 815. Only reason I think more might be allocated in the future is the last portion of Tom last ig vid says stay tuned for more updates for those who were not eligible for preorder link but who knows lol

Exactly my sentiment. Yeah it was slightly annoying to do. I’d usually rush and do them at night. But for the most part, I didn’t actuallly do any of the challenges and was able to get a pair. I’ve always wanted a pair since the first ones dropped.

They came in today and I’m happy. I was contemplating selling them. Getting a $1000 shoe for retail is rare these days. But think I’ll end up keeping them and rocking them because for most people I can say, “yaint got em”
 
lets not be naive
Undftd nyc did deny people that didn’t meet the points minimum. But as far them denying you if you’re already allocating a pair? I doubt that because there are no rules that you can’t win a pair if you already got a pair elsewhere. In Union LA’s latest IG story; someone literally already won a pair on ISRU summer camp with 1266 points, and yet still won and copped a pair from the Union raffle
 
I find it funny that what’s probably the most limited drop of the year ended up being the one where it seems like most everyone that made an effort actually cleaned up on…Simply because they cut out the raffle via boutique concept almost entirely…Goes to show just how much stock, on drops that that have a ton more pairs, actually gets eaten up by these backdoor buyers that popsicle lick their way into buying out entire stock rooms…

100k Travis 1’s released via raffle? Won’t even get a chance to see what they look like in person…10k Mars Yard 3’s released via app challenges? Everybody gets a pair…******* hilarious :lol:

I wonder if more people would've done the challenges if it was for a Travis Scott Jordan 1 or something. Although the resale for the Mars Yard line is high, I don't think a lot of casual hypebeasts really care about the shoe.
I personally enjoyed the process because of how it weeded out botters and probably a lot of resellers. The "work" didn't even feel like work; Throw something into a hole; Make breakfast or doodle something; Go outside for 10 minutes"; Draw a line; Read a book; Lift an object. If you wanted the shoe and couldn't even bother doing something as simple as that, I don't know what to tell you. The moderators didn't even really care to enforce whether or not you did the challenges correctly - as a matter of fact, they even rewarded people for doing things incorrectly :emoji_rolling_eyes:.
If they go a similar route again for the Mars Yard 4.0, I hope the "work" is even more difficult than the ISRU summer camp challenges since outsiders now know how easy it was:lol:.
 
Congrats to those that hit.

Anyone have a good pov on how they fit? It’s been the worst lately as I’ve had to start buying 9.5 in most Jordan’s, running shoes (vomero 18 but still just a 9 in forces.

I’ve got a 9 available to me but don’t want to risk them fitting too snug.

i wear a 10 in forces and got a 10 in these 3.0's and they fit perfect
 
I remember a couple months ago people clowning ithers for participating in this claiming they weren’t going to jump through hoops for these…now that all the raffles are based off isru people trying to jump through hoops for a chance at the raffles…
Still happy with my decision to not jump through the hoops. Hope you're happy with your's as well.

It's not crazy at all. We're all different. I'm not judging you for having done it. I just had no desire to do those things, personally. It's sneakers. I have hundreds of ds pairs. Im not doing daily tasks for a pair. Im not camping out for a pair. Im at a point in my life where im just not doing that for sneakers. I hope you enjoyed it. There was a time I may have done it, just not now. I don't think youre crazy for having done it, no need to think im crazy for not. We're all happy.
 


The response from THAT corner of the sneaker world…Now imagine the reaction if most of the stock went to boutiques for a ~raffle~ release…
