I'm gonna tell you guys this coming straight from a niketown employee's eyes. It's harder for us to get shoes as well. We can't hold pairs like you guys are thinking. The employee raffle on gives away like maybe 4-5 pairs depending on a shoe and we definitely can't hold anything else. The shoes are locked in a closet where only managers can open therefore we can't hold/hide anything y'all. If we don't win raffle or RSVP we must wait till Monday for discount or until it becomes first come first serve after RSVP is over and still pay retail. It's definitely not rigged though. Maybe for 21 mercer but what I just said is the general niketown process.Yeah, there is definitely some shadiness with this and in store raffles for employees.
As a Computer Science Major, Nike can try all they want, there is NO WAY to truly stop a bot LOL
Other CSM's say there is....As a Computer Science Major, Nike can try all they want, there is NO WAY to truly stop a bot LOL
Nike doesn't care about stopping the bots - at least not directly. On some level, they likely realize that they can't, so why try? It's not practical, and Nike knows that. So their stratagem is much more subtle, more calculated.As a Computer Science Major, Nike can try all they want, there is NO WAY to truly stop a bot LOL
rubs hands like Birdman 
I said in my posts that I am talking about the managers, and I am sure others are too since they are giving personal experiences with managers. We're not talking about regular employees. Other Niketown employees have told us how they have just as little a shot at the shoes as the rest of us unless they are personal friends with whichever of the 2 managers are tweeting that day. The managers at every sneaker store except for one in my city are the shadiest employees there. And then they hire up assistant managers that will facilitate their shadiness. And this isn't from an angry customer missing on releases. I have my in store connects that I look out for on online releases, so they scratch my back and I scratch theirs.. But me having a connect doesn't change the fact that I know what the managers are doing, especially since most tell me or try to sell shoes to me that there was no other option for them to have, except through shady measures.
LOL, 'Mericun way right there!
LOL.. The new system is already flawed.. buwahahahahaha. props to Memphis for going at this hard. you can bet Nike isn't going to implement anymore changes to the new RSVP system for a while!MEMPHIS AND DASNEAKERFREAK ARE INTHE LEBRON X THREAD LAUGHING LOL. Memphis said, "WORKAROUND ALMOST DONE. GONNA TEST WITH WHITE FOAMS" and Dasneakerfreak just laughed prior to that.
Not exactly man. If Nike tweet a link for you to click on, then make you enter a "captcha" at the link (same as any upload services) before you can view picture with random letter to tweet back. Good luck making bot for that. Ha! That should level the playing field.As a Computer Science Major, Nike can try all they want, there is NO WAY to truly stop a bot LOL
lol..this is still technology based. bots will most likely be in beta in two weeks or less.
Yeah, there is definitely some shadiness with this and in store raffles for employees.
Nike Stores aren't the same as Footlocker stores, so stop comparing them.
I think a lot of actually talk about what you don't know when it comes to Nike stores as well. The head managers are the only ones that know the hashtag, and they don't just walk around telling employees the hashtag and what time they're going to tweet. The employees have to try to RSVP just like people that don't work for the company. Seriously too many just talk out of their ***.
how you gonna quote me and then post that? Did you even look at my sig? . I KNOW what I'm talkin about fam
