Early links are generated by running a program which searches a large database of possible URL configurations. You'll notice nike tends to follow a general pattern in its URLs. Well you can't just keep a page off the database until moments before it launches- you have to have it available to go live, to connect to the inventory system, and to be used. So 99.9% of the time when your program is checking pages you get nothing or misleading pages, but every once in a while you'll find a URL that appears to match up pretty well with the desired product. There's your early link.
Now some can be guessed, but nike isn't making it as easy as it has been. Supreme used to be ridiculously easy to guess (though they switched it up on the foams release which is how I got 2 pairs- I figured they'd pull something like that and just sat on the shoe page). So getting access to the URL database is tricky, but it exists and it's not impossible.
