THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[solecali]

What's the difference between the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 LE and the air max anniversary? Both In red and white Colourway

2.0 has the new updated sole, while the anniversary pair is the OG outsole. I think the anniversary is suppose to have the OG shape too...

Thanks for the early L Nike...[emoji]128529[/emoji]

So if you authenticate SNKRS with the same phone number, but diff names and addresses, will they cancel your draw entry immediately, or only if you win both draws?

Looks like it just makes you enter your phone number each time you try to login.  So is it just a one time validation, and you can simply use the same number to login over and over to diff accounts, and validate with the SMS code each time? 

I'm not doing this for more than 2 accounts, as it's just not worth it to me; don't want them that badly.  It just shouldn't be so difficult!  But would like to know whether entering twice on diff accounts with the same phone number will get my entry banned across both accounts....

Damn, so this Sneakeasy isn't Air Max 1 Atmos related?  Must be that Nike VaporMax shoe that they're launching...

I was told it was for the vapormax by one the reps on the air max bus in my city.  She said that the tickets were for a private event to countdown to the release of it.

Boo. Nobody paying full price for a vapor max. Thanks for the info though.

Those Vapormax actually holding weight though

That bearbrick is super dope!

 

[daffy 016]

bearbricks are gonna release only at atmos harlem and atmos japan

atmos harlem stated that theyre gonna release them this week but no details yet

Since I can't seem to figure out how to cop anything anymore I went shopping in the closet again. Basically forgot about these.

AM1-B and Crepe. I could never bring myself to undeadstock the Crepes. Maybe this Spring...

 

[salacious crumb]

Kind of wanting those pants with the jade swoosh.

 

[boogii]

Solar Red is the outsole and liner color ya? Just replicating for ***** and giggles and the render looks off...

yeah solar red.

ID's always look slightly different from render to real life

I would think the Team Orange color for the liner and outsole would be more similar to the pigeons right? Rather than solar red?

Now on to the Tiger Camo for me

Don't you need to verify your NDC account with your mobile number before entering the draw in the US (in Europe or Germany at least you have to)?

And you have to make a (pending) payment up front when entering. I'm sure the draw algorithm sorts out double credit cards and PayPal accounts.

So that limits the amount of accounts to like 2 or a handful tops if you ask like your family or friends.

So I don't get how you could enter like 50 or more times, even if you are using a bot.

tbh, I like the mechanism because I think there's no advantage in using bots and chances are pretty much the same for everyone.

All size 10

Ur underestimating the power of the bot.

F Nike with their hyped up AM month/day bs. I'm pissed that they made the red/blue OG AM1 a resellers shoe now. Such a slap in the face. This the type of shoe that should be made in abundance and readily available. Last time they hit discount. What a copp out Nike. Way to go. End rant/

 

[xmarcxaberx]

Ur underestimating the power of the bot.

I'm a software engineer and have a good understanding of how a bot works.

A bot does pretty much the same thing a human would do, just way faster and if you are using proxies multiple times simultaniously with different IPs.

But still you have to feed your bot with account data in this particular scenario (other than Foot Locker for example where a bot can try with hundreds of guest accounts and let you check out when the item is in your cart). And with Nike using your mobile numbers to verify the account and limits the entries in the raffle to one per account, you still need the number of accounts to equal the attempts you or your bot wants to make.

And still, if you figure to make like dozends accounts you would need dozends of credit cards and shipping addresses because you have to put these in BEFORE entering the raffle and before Nike (the draw algorithm) chooses the winners and can sort out double addresses and double payment methods.

So if I underestimating the power of the bot, explain me what a bot could do better in the draw scenario than a human.

I have a feeling with people taking Ls all the time argumentation is always "it's the bots", even if retailers and brands try to work ways to isolate bots. 

it may be right on some (maybe most) retailer websites. but then again, even without bots, if a retailer stocks ONE fsr of a pair, like 15 pairs and hundreds or thousands taking a shot at them, chances would still be slim, even without bots.

well lets leave it at that ;-)

i think the placement/measurement of the swoosh + the higher mudguard is what makes the golden era am1s stand out.

the OGs didn't have that.. but again, lets agree to disagree ;-)

 
Could you explain the differences to me? I've been looking at photos online and haven't quite figured out what it is that's so special about the OGs from the past two weeks vs. other releases.

You under estimating the bots - 

they increase there chances where WE HAVE NO CHANCE

Yes, they have that apparently. Im not gonna act like a programming expert but I've seen what people with bots can do. And they can get dozens of "1 item per customer" releases. Didnt necessarily mean ur underestimating the bot itself, although i think it is capable of more than just data entry as you make it seem, but underestimating the people running them. But "bots" can find backdoors, they can interact with the webstore software, steal carts etc... which goes beyond just entering info into data fields in a split second. That capability doesnt even really apply in a draw.

In your expert opinion, do you think it would be possible to mask double payment methods or to only need seperate info for accounts that actually win? Are they verifying a hundred thousand bank accounts, phone numbers, addresses ect in 30 minutes without running charges or authorizations or making automated calls? I know there is such a thing as temporary cc numbers, which can route to the same account. Email generators. Phone number manipulation software. I personally, with no technological help, could have 40 different accounts thru friends/family, multiple bank/pp accts, po boxes/dba addresses if it was worth upwards of 5 figures. Thats the easy part. Could the draw program itself be manipulated? If it was strictly limited to data entry then there would be no use for a bot at all in a draw or queue system. SNKRS app and other apps could not be manipulated for drops, but they are. I dont know how they do it, but i know they do it. Im sure it is a cat and mouse game and some of the bigger names like nike have more resources to protect their website, but how much time and money are they really willing to devote to the issue when they are gonna make the same profit regardless of who is actually buying the stock.

Tongue piping.

Higher quality mesh.

They did raise the side mudguard profile in and attempt to achieve more toe rollover, unfortunately they missed the mark and what you actually get is near, but not true enough to say an HOA or an OG Mesh.

On a similar note the materials on the Master and the comfort are better than expected. I like.

the credit card paypal account is verified the moment you enter the draw with a pending payment.

i believe nike would simply give an L to everyone who enters a double credit card or a double address. that would be a very small programming effort and no problem at all to let there algorithm check (thousand of entries is a very small number, even for millions of data it would be no problem at all to check that).

temporary credit card numbers, if there is such a thing would probably work same as po boxes and stuff. but then again, you would have to register these cc numbers and po boxes and i guess pay for it. of course you can do that, and of course a bot can do the dirty work for you, but then again you have 30 minutes time. if you are working fast and prepared you can simply insert 30-60 entries manually in that time. the real advantage in the use of bots is that they are plain faster than clicking and can use proxies to try many times at the same time. the only advantage of the usage of a bot in that case, in my opionon is that you can add more entries with valid accounts each than you can handle manually in 30 minutes, so that would be the case if you have way over 30 valid accounts with different credit cards and addresses.

Your other question. Nike will have good security standards, but nothing is impossible. Of course a program can be manipulated, of course there can be backdoors, but that's hacking, that's not the work a bot will do for you. You need a lot, i mean a lot of experince in the field, and a lot of criminal energy to do such a thing and put your own credit card and address in afterwards.
