same. Woke up to go to work which was an hour after the launch. They only had one size left which was .5 smaller than my true size. They didn't fit when I got them and they were returned at the local mall.
LOL well no, not impossible. There are a lot of other shoes people will go after involved. 88's look to be the top choice, but it depends on your size too and who is after them first that morning. A lot of the usual 88 buyers are going after 1's. And some of the guys that can usually get 2 will probably only be able to get 1 while they after the 1's or maybe another restock shoe. The kicker will be how strict they are on the per customer limit. Since canceled orders don't release back into stock immediately, I almost think that they won't be sticking to the per person limit very hard since they want these sales on the books and inventory out the warehouse door before 6/1. They would have to have those canceled pairs pop back up in the following 6 days, on a holiday weekend with Monday being the holiday and another day out of commission, at least at full staff. That is all my own personal assumption though. I think someone in this thread, with the links I posted and experience buying on NDC will be at a distinct advantage. And especially anyone that has the 88's as their ONLY concern that morning.
? Not sure what your trying to say.
lol that I don't mind, I meant in front of physical stores
Okay sorry my bad
All will be at 8 am EST. These sites aren't crashing. They've got it figured out, especially NDC. FNL has controls, which to me may as well be a crash because you can't do anything and you can still get cart jacked going as fast as possible once you're in. FTL companies creep along as well, but they won't actually have servers crash. NDC has improved drastically since the days of crashing the last couple years and there have been a few releases since that I think tested it enough to believe they will be fine on the 25th. I'd like to see how much money has been spent on websites/servers by the major retailers since July 2012.
What about me?
If this is restock is anything like the April 2013 restock, you can access all of these shoes on NDC through their prior links when the restock hits. In April it was all a surpise. We didn't know what shoes were coming unless you had a Nike contact willing to share, and you didn't know when the link with each restocked shoe shown would be tweeted unless you had someone in their social media group. The people that did were told to just refresh the already exisitng links when the text came through. If you know what you want, refresh these old links. If you don't want to risk it, have these open in a tab, twitter open in a tab, and refresh these until the twitter restock link drops.

This link is from NDC's old site, before the complete overhaul last summer. It's still the same format, so it should work. But they aren't one of the companies expected to have them, so it doesn't matter as of right now.

I got tricked by NDC as well... made me wait 30 minutes only to push an error that it cant be added to cart, even when there was still sizes. I eventually migrated to FNL and I hit the jackpot with 2 pairs as people were slowly getting in past SPA
Why wouldn't they?
It more has to do with when its in your car and you are waiting to check out, that's when you hit the timer. Otherwise, you just keep hitting add to cart until it adds 1x quantity to your cart (will be visible) then checkout as fast as you can. Most the time it will give you the "all pairs are in customers carts at the moment" or another error. It won't say all sizes are gone. But, I think i recall ndc saying they were sold out and some people were still getting a few select pairs....Or at least they were popping up as available on ndc's site.
Doubt that's true, but if JB really made some 25-50k pairs of royals and A MILLION GRAPES. They should have just gone door to door slapping us all in the face
All i know is i'll definitely get some
