Shiekh online raffles are rigged. Shiekh's IT team is one of the worst in the footwear industry so its relatively easy to beat their system

So did you beat their system?

I have a plug there so I don't need to sign up via raffle. But a few of their managers have acknowledged to me that for years their IT team has been scrambling to figure out ways to deter the "bots" that rig their system through thousands of automatically set up email accounts.

And they "lose" winners all the time.

Casper..good luck, DTLA pre-sold to VIPs thru Legacy.

Hope the DM makes them honor a few wins but they're know to "lose" winners when you go pick them up.

Of course they do, but the trick is to purposely misspell the name by just one or two letter and there are thousands of combinations when you misspell your name by just 1-2 letters. Their system isn't designed to capture this. And when you have hundreds of emails created by one person using a "bot" to create numerous variations of the same name using misspelled/slightly added letters, it's a win-win.

Remember, employees at Shiekh don't require ID's at the time of purchase either to cross-reference the email account. They just want you to furnish proof of the email message. You show the employee the email at time of purchase and they really don't even inspect the ID because the store is so busy with customers, distractions, etc.

So if let's say your name is John Anderson, and you created hundreds of email accounts with different spelling variations of John Anderson and the account that won was spelled John Andreson, you will still be able to claim your pair.

Thank you to all who wanted to reach out and help me get my pair. That will not be necessary. I wanted to hit on my retail or bust on my own for this release. All have been repped for the kind thought
