My understanding is that you tick the 'notify me' button on anything you like and then Nike randomly selects people to have 'exclusive access' via a notification on your phone which gives you the chance to purchase before the full release. Lots of myths about how it actually works on youtube
I only had it once for the weird Off white silver dunks and i wasn't on the notify me for them.so annoyed the J4's are raffle now they never use to be just first come first serve but now no chance of getting them.
There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to early access. Some people are adamant you need to watch the live videos and so on on the app.
I had Early access for a pair of Dunks a while ago. No notification was just in my inbox on the app. Clicked it and was sold out so pointless.
Now and again early drops are hidden on the app. But I have only seen it once in the last year. Havent been any shock drops in ages.

Superstars for that price are a bargain
I don't use size and I like nearly every Adidas they release in their exclusive line! I used to order thousands of pounds a year through them, 3 battered boxes and one order mess up with no acknowledgement from them. There are good companies out there so I just use them!
Hanon messed up once, they took great care of me at that point I had maybe bought £300 max of trainers from them! When I say great care I mean apologised and offered to send me out a different pair of trainers!
I tend to buy classic styles like Superstars, AF1's and AM90 just to wear and enjoy, my mate does the whole collecting thing and has some nice rare onesI don't use size and I like nearly every Adidas they release in their exclusive line!

It's a shame about Size as it's one of their exclusives but I don't want to risk what you've mentioned as there are lots of complaints online
I'll check Hanon out
ETA got some Fila coming today but my mate just didn't even pass comment (normally means he doesn't like them ) they are more a daily beater though at £30 from JD

No idea how it works and I haven’t spent time trawling through the videos and other articles on the app - I think it just selects a random bunch of accounts each time for EA and if you get a notification and get in fast enough, you get the win. I’m long overdue some good fortune on SNKRS!I had Early access for a pair of Dunks a while ago. No notification was just in my inbox on the app. Clicked it and was sold out so pointless.

Always on there, you can get leather sambas, even the jonah hill ones for £55 at end and hanon I think.
I think leather hold their shape better and are better quality made than the m and m and sports direct samba. I wouldn't be surprised if they are made purely for those 2 retailers.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Samba sold by M&M and Sports Direct is the 'Super' rather than the standard one (chunkier, longer tongue, shares the sole unit with the Rom and Beckenbauer Allround). JD also carries the style, albeit usually in a range of exclusive colourways. Having never owned a pair of normal Sambas I can't compare the two but the Super is built like a tank! For the money they're a bargain, given they're real leather and suede rather than a synthetic.I think leather hold their shape better and are better quality made than the m and m and sports direct samba.

Interestingly enough the Samba Super appears almost uniquely a British institution, based on what I've seen on Instagram. I don't know if the Americans get them at all, and continental Europeans don't seem to care about them.
