OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[piston honda]

Simple.

Bots basically fill all your info in and checks you out instantly.  No human hand can successfully check out in 5 seconds.  So I'm pretty sure if they get orders within the first 5 seconds they know it's not from a human and will cancel it.

Kudos to Nike.com.

Humans cannot check out in microseconds, but I'm sure there are people quick enough who can click on the Twitter link, select a size, and click add to cart within a second. Where does Nike draw the line between bots and really fast clickers?

I'm not convinced that Nike is going to do anything. Maybe cancel a few random orders and say they were bot related.for PR. But for them to cancel thousands of orders that are speculated to be bot originated would be insane.

 

[Truth]

Ndc should just go back to the old method of dropping at a random time in the middle of the night. No tlo, nothing. Shoes just pop up when Nike decides to drop em.

Fair for everyone.

Been waiting for some new kobe info, surprised no leaked pics or anything

 

[klrossjr]

I don't understand how FTL can have a Kobe 8 on 7/29, yet NDC doesn't have anything on that date itself and its July 2. Do they only post shoes that they will have for sale on NDC or do they post all Nike brand releases?

I'm average with my cursor speed and it took me 2.5 seconds. Most of the time was lost to network latency loading the Nike page. With an hour of practice I probably could get it under 2 seconds. The trick is quickly moving the mouse from the TL to the select size button. Depending on what size you are, you might get away with a quick doubleclick, meaning the first click selects the size and closes the dropdown and if you're lucky your cursor is already hovering over the add to cart button for the second click.

You ever watch professional FPS players? You don't think they have the speed and precision to do what I just said within a second? (Assuming network latency is minimal)

Actually, the date for the next Kobe 8 release is 7/27, not 7/29.

NDC and FTL seem to update their launch calendars at different times. Nike will probably update theirs next week...

And Nike only posts info on their calendar for shoes releasing on NDC, not every Nike release for every company.

I see myself copping five out of six CWs on the list (i'm not fond of green shoes so green glow(have a feeling it has gitd material on it) has to wow me to get them). I'm hoping I'm not feeling the 9s because my bank account is going to need a damn break. :x
*Waits for kobeoverlebron to leak pics of the 9s*

 

[chiacrack]

It sucks that in order to get shoes online you have to resort to a script or bots or be super fast clicking, I truly hate that, a lot of the times I have to leave for work early, get there a half hour or so early at like 750 and sit in my car waiting until 8 so I can order a shoe lol. I think using my phone gives me a disadvantage over people at home on their computer

Kobe 8>>>>>>>>>>>>KD and LBJ

A lot of us, at the time, thought the Vs were perfect and could never be topped. I'm excited about the upcoming 9s...

Was able to grab some pairs of limited stuff with my phone, Mambacurials being the latest...

But I'd rather be on my PC when the uber-limited stuff drops

network latency, time it takes for the dropdown to show, the click, the moving the mouse to add to cart all factor in to it being unrealistic to get there within 1 sec when loading the page will take a minimum of .5 seconds.

damn might have to track down these blue blitz. look pretty good in some of these pics.

glad nike is doing something about these bots...but the whole TLO invites that problem in the first place

[jslimm 1985]

Those Mamba's look so good in real life.

I have a feeling MC's gonna be the new XMas 6's.

Basically overhyped. MCs are nice, please don't jinx them and put the death wish on them by foreseeing them as the new grinch.
