HoH Scottsdale was doing raffles (everyone in the area is doing raffles, no guarantee tickets...) signed up and tbh, I don't think I'll win, but if it's anything like last year, NDC *should* be able to come through...
I think folks are a little spooked because of the XII release. Think about it, how long has NDC had the online checkout line? Out of the all the releases, the XI was the first major Jordan Retro (OG cw) using the system; folks who normally are used to waiting 30 seconds to a minute are freaking out over 20 min - an hour.
Even the folks on eastbay who hung in for the 2-3 hours wait got theirs.
It's internet traffic. It's ISP and packets and transmission traffic.....nothing more, nothing less...
If the allocation numbers are close to the 500K mark like they were for the Breds last year, no one should be disappointed. 2 per customer, even more so....
The yearly XI release is Nike's "Christmas bonus"....
It's the "we know if we made a million, we'd sell a million..." They aren't going to make this limited in any stretch of the meaning...
Good luck to all - the thirst, is obviously real!
