And again. No notification on the Nike App if I've been successful or not. It's so hit and miss.
Just says 'Draw closed'.
As soon as the React Element draw closed last week I was notified I wasn't successful straight away.
PS - Doubt I've won, as no e-mail.
Notification came through at 9:59. Just says 'Draw closed'.

Another L. I wracking them up now.....
L on my phone

Even set up a second SNEAKRS account on my old iPhone. Also L.
Looked on eBay and Depop are they’re selling for £700+.
Why! why do these brands let these t
ts buy the shoes for resale when people who actually want them to wear (is lot) don’t get anything. Stupid.

The brands don't hate resellers; they love and they need resellers. The fact they're limited and hard to get creates hype. Hype distorts demand whilst supply remains low. So the price gets inflated. So they become halos and drag the GR with them. I wonder how many people today, after failing to get the 97s then went and bought some other 97s or something else from Nike? ts buy the shoes for resale when people who actually want them to wear (is lot) don’t get anything. Stupid. If Nike adjusted their supply so everyone who wanted a pair could have a pair, it'd damage them in the long run. There would be no hype, the resell market would disappear, the hypebeasts would move on to something else and the collectors would think twice about every single purchase.
It's far from stupid, it's a totally free, self-sorting marketing machine.

I’m seriously considering looking into bots and proxies. I don’t see any other way to actually get these shoes without joining them. If anyone wants to join me, PM me.
To make it work you're going to need to invest a lot of money and deal in very large quantities and even then you have no guarantee.Rawwr said:

I won’t be popular for saying this but what other choice is there apart from paying resell or going without. Everyone is using bots and it’s the actual fans and enthusiasts who go without.
I’ve often thought about asking the owner of my local offspring if I can buy his pairs from him and maybe pay him commission per pair but that’s probably dodgy.
