it truly was a crap shoot. i mean, this dude didn't even actually get to the next screen after hitting "add to cart" and he still got a pair held:

I hopped on the link about 20 seconds after my text notification went off and by the time I got on NDC the site was in total melt down. I clicked add to cart a few times, got every error known to man, and gave up after 10 minutes. I never, at any point, made it past the initial screen, BUT was lucky enough that I remembered to log into NDC again about 30-45 mins before they dropped.
I woke up on monday morning to an email from nike saying my yeezys were being held in my cart, but when I logged on they were obviously not in my cart. I called up nike and the rep told me that my pair was on hold and that someone would call me to complete the order. 5 days later, I get the call and I placed the order over the phone.
then you hear about cats like memphis who got to the screen they clearly stated you had to get to, and he came up short still.
then you hear about the people who were logged in prior to the drop but got logged out over and over...
nike just really dropped the ball on this online release...
they shouldn't have completely changed their system days b4 the craziest shoe release in history. they shoulda did it long b4 and made sure it worked right.
on one hand this was a successful release for them, they sold out as expected, got lots of hype, got their name in the worldwide news headlines, pleasing both their most loyal fans and bringing in new ones...
but on the other hand, they managed to really piss off some of their base too. mega bad.
i mean, i read somewhere there's a dude filing a lawsuit over not getting his pair...
