Had to be at least 200,000 people online trying to cop these shoes...dudes sitting in front of 4-5 computers, people on IPhones and Droids trying while camping...and make no mistake people in other countries order from the site too. It was inevitable that their site would crash; especially for this release.
The amount of money it takes to improve a sites computer server is crazy...so the thoughts a company would do it simply for the 3-4 releases a year that would crash makes no business sense. Besides, they will still sell all of their product anywya so why would they bother?
Bottomline...this release was a crap shoot...some people got through and won the lottery...some didnt (including me)...not bitter, just moving on and working ways to get my pair by the connects on NT
Still sucks to be the guy left out. Just cant rely on online orders for sure. thanks for the reply and insight of computers/servers
The real surprise is NDC crashing...that means there were way too many people on the hunt for these. Their system usually stands up pretty well. Read the same thing happened last night for the Kobe and Lebron Christmas editions.
I know people in my area who have no interest in the shoes at all...their only goal was to get their hands on a pair and sell for profit because of the economy and they heard this was a hot commodity. Guess do what they gotta do...I'll get mine anyways...lol or wait 2 years and JB will re-release...
I wish JB would go back to Flight Club for top releases....always thought that was a good idea where someone had to cosign for you you to get access...even if they only put a portion of their inventory in there.
Nike is no surprise. They do hold up better but it can be tough. Doernbecher 4s was a nightmare. i wasted 3 and half hours trying to order. ended up failing. black 3s were a little slow too, took a few attempts.
