Yeah, that's most likely the logic behind them not bothering to fight it. All they care about are their units being moved and if it ends up creating an air of exclusivity around the brand then even better because that directly leads to more hype for every new release.
It's the same thing companies like Ticketmaster do. They'll never truly fight people who use bots to cop tickets because they most likely are involved with the biggest reseller sites so they make money off that, too.
It's f***ed up but I really hope true fans are able to get their hands on the shoes. I want to cop both colors but I won't kill myself trying to.
It's a real shame. And kind of funny when they put systems in place like CAPTCHAs to act like they care about bots when in reality all they do is slow down actual people.
I'm with you. I'll try at a few places tomorrow, but I refuse to pay second-hand prices and support the scalping industry. Hopefully NOCTA does another drop sometime down the road - I think I finally figured out the tricks of the site (leave it in your cart and just refresh, don't try the express payment methods) right after the last big wave of the size/color combo I was going after.

Yeah, I'll check tomorrow as well when some of the hype and rush dies down.
Hopefully more drops and more colorways are released soon enough.
The product page continues randomly showing in stock sizes available to be added to your cart, then instantly shows out of stock when you get to the checkout page. What a mess & letdown.
Sloppy af
Bummed as hell man.
People who wanted it and wanted to cop retail couldn’t.
Been trying for 2 and a half hours and finally got my pair
Holy s***
mfs in it for the long haul. Congrats brodie
Almost got a pair of 10.5s (1/2 size down from what I really want) and got to payment and it said it couldn’t process looooool
It’s a Nike release. All they had to do was drop it on Nike like every other Nike drop 💀
In stock -> Add to cart -> Available -> 76 minute queue -> Checkout page -> Out of stock -> Repeat
What site you trying ?
NOCTA.com is still adding stock of various sizes every few minutes. But they sell out nearly instantaneously
In stock -> Add to cart -> Available -> 76 minute queue -> Checkout page -> Out of stock -> Repeat
Try opening the site on a different device or closing and reopening the site. I did that and was able to avoid it and just had a capcha to check off
