This is such a waste of time, money and material. Gross!
Can't believe how many pairs were messed up while EU didn't get a single shot. FY NIKE.

How would you know if you weren’t able to make one
Folks in this thread felt the sense of urgency because we all knew it was a limited time only situation but didn’t know exactly how long it’d be up. Nike could have done a better job of communicating that.
But if they did that, there probably wouldn’t be so much hype and demand for NBY. Even people like me who haven’t used it in decades want to get in on it.

I remember that the link of the 1st wave was working a specific time, at least few days.How would you know if you weren’t able to make one

So everybody had a lot of time to play with the options and save the designs for the 2nd wave.

Whatever.
There is still no reason to make a mismatched pair by "accident".

I got “Elusive Access” the first round, did a diddybop in the kitchen, went to make my pair, which took about ~45mins. Got to checkout and it was no longer available.
Got access for the third round and promptly fumbled and rushed, sweat handed-ly to checkout pickin the options I had from the first round (I hope
) . Foh if you don’t think there’s a reason/chance/opportunity for a “mistake/accident”

I can't speak on what happened with/to other "peeps", all I know is I didn't get access until later in the day on 5/23. I didn't get access to any of the other rounds so when this one popped up later in the day I felt like I had to rush and get it submitted.

I got access twice and both times the app said they were "reserved for 24hrs". I made both of my designs in the morning and didnt check them out until the afternoon.

Lol.
Nah. Nike pulled all the access before it was “scheduled” to be pulled.
After the first instance you just had to get to them in cause you couldn’t rely on what Nike told you. Could be pulled and “sold out” at any moment.

I got access for Round 2 (cancelled… due to me checking out on Rakuten for cashback… I think 
) and Round 3 (successful without any option errors) on my main account.
For Round 2, my coworker allowed me to use his login for another successful design without any errors. For Round 3, the same coworker let me use his login again for another successful design without any errors.
For Round 3 again, my female coworker let me use her login. I didn’t add the design to the cart until three hours after the notification was received. Before I did, I THROUGHLY double checked each and every option then checked out. ONE THING I didn’t check was the SIZE. Since she’s a female, the AM1 sizes are preset to each user’s gender. I didn’t realize it until one month after asking about an update. SMDH. That design looked so GOOD!
My heart aches a bit every time I see these

I know I know. I totally copied this pair. With only one shot at these I couldn’t help myself and didn’t want to take any chances. Shout to

for the inspiration. You nailed it bro. Such a dope design, I had to do it. I did however go with the teal NA heel logo rather than black to somewhat tweak them to “my own” but yeah lol. Thought I would regret not going with a solid leather swoosh but the black safari print swoosh is super nice in person and glad I went with it. Needless to say I’m really pleased with how these turned out. Was kinda worth the wait honestly. Can’t wait to rock them.
