So ridiculous.
Easiest method.
"If you want X shoe. Please log onto your NDC account and select the shoe model you want and size. Click submit and your one entry will be submitted to our raffle system. If you are one of our lucky winners, we will contact you for payment and we will have the shoes shipped on release day."
-No server crashes
-No gunshots
-No shady shoe stores releasing early, or for a premium
-Nike has complete control, and the system is fair for all enthusiasts
*Note: Each NDC account must be verified under a CC/address as to prevent multiple accounts/entries [I'm sure there are a few ways around this, but meh]

I GOT A BETTER IDEA...AND NIKE BETTER PAY ME FOR THIS...
1. EVERYONE SIGN UP FOR A NDC ACCOUNT.
2. GIVE AN ALLOTTED TIME TO REQUEST A SHOE BY EMAILING ALL MEMBERS AND SAYING SOMETHING LIKE "AIR JORDAN RETRO 7 "OLYMPIC" WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT ON 7/21. REQUESTS WILL BE HELD FROM 4/16 12A - 4/26 11:59P
3. LET THE MEMBERS LOG IN AND REQUEST THE SHOES. (1 PER ACCOUNT)
4. ONCE ALL REQUESTS HAVE BEEN MADE MAKE THE AMOUNT OF SHOES REQUESTED LIKE THE NIKEID PROCESS. IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE 3-4 WEEKS TO MAKE THEM.
THIS SHOULD ELIMINATE CAMPOUTS, EVERYONE GETS WHAT THEY WANT, AND OTHER RETAILER'S CAN STILL GET THEM FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO DOUBLE UP ON A PAIR OR GET A PAIR IF THEY MISSED OUT ON A PAIR.
NIKE WOULD MONOPOLIZE THE INDUSTRY AND BASICALLY PRINT THEIR OWN MONEY. ITS A WIN WIN SCENARIO.
SHOES WILL NEVER GET RTV'D AND HIT OUTLETS. YOU WILL BE MAKING THE MOST PROFIT FROM A SHOE.
NOW OF COURSE THE DEMAND FOR GENERAL NIKE SHOES ISN'T AS HIGH. SO THOSE CAN STILL HIT FTL'S AND OTHER CHAINS. I KNOW THIS WILL ELIMINATE 2ND HAND BUYERS BUT IT'S THOSE SAME 2ND HAND BUYERS THAT ARE CAUSING THE WHOLE FIASCO.
IT'S LIKE PHARMACEUTICALS, YOU NEED A MEDICATION YOU GO AND GET IT. IMAGINE IF MEDICINE WAS SOLD ONE TIME AND ALL THE RESELLERS GOT A HOLD OF THE WHOLE STOCK? PEOPLE WILL PAY OUTRAGEOUS PRICES.
ITS WHAT THE BASIS OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND IS BUILT ON. #SIGCHECK
THE ONLY OTHER CONCLUSION I CAN COME UP WITH IS THAT NIKE IS IN BED WITH MOST RESELLER'S AND GET A PERCENTAGE FROM RESELLER PRICES. SAME WAY ALL SPORTS VENUES WENT TO BED WITH STUBHUB.

I've been screaming this for a while now. Just make it 1 shoe per address instead of accounts because you can have multiply accounts and its great. You go to the the store for RD of the shoe or you wait 3-4 weeks for the Nike.com Delivery. Its fair and win-win
