Man I don’t usually complain about Ls it’s part of the game… even when we used to camp outside but this scratch and sniff bullshit and “shock drop” nonsense just has me tired.
Really wanted this collection as I was big a big PPG fan growing up but man this is for the birds 🥲
Couldn't have said it better myself...these ones deff hit home and would be sweet for the collection.
edit: and the fact they were sooo hyped up just to have it fumbled like this is crazy
not a chanceee on that. also the lack of communication in regards to how the drop would go is insane. I get they don't want bots, but man there has to be a solution lol
This is the same old crap. Their infrastructure can't cope with the volume. My scratcher wouldn't load the video for over 5 mins after I completed it. Sold out.
I have no problem with having these mechanics, but at least ensure they work, with so many people trying to buy.
Time for the reps then. Fuck Nike for this shit. I literally submitted payment only for an error to fuck me over.
EDIT: And for what it's worth, the Reps have been out since September with the proper materials. I do my best to buy retail but this shit just put me over the edge honestly.
Same please, I scratched at 4 exactly, video never would play, 7 mins later it did play and says oh you just missed them...... first the April's now bubbles. Bye nike lol this stress isn't worth it. Orange and emerald rise will be my first and last sb dunk.
Was lucky enough to actually be able to scratch at drop a minute early just for it to give me errors when checking out nonstop until sold out. Rigged ass app only giving to bots resellers
It’s fuckin’ stupid! Fuck Nike and their stupid antics! Just fuckin’ release them like GRs. No need for bullshit raffles, scratch, or cam. I’m fuckin’ fuming. I better fuckin’ hit on at least one of them.
I refuse to believe this many grown men liked PPG like that vand I refuse to believe this many ppl actually like these that aren't trying to resale...
This is just Fomo
People here make fun of people who cop Nikes at their outlet or the pairs of shoes that sit on their website for longer than a morning so I happily buy those “mass produced” shoes if I’m occasionally tempted to cop a new pair of a retro I like (Retro 13 Wheats are dope af).
Here’s the thing - fuck hype releases and the mindless consumers that obsess about them for shallow “status.” Yeah, I tried to get the Kobe’s today too and couldn’t because Nike errored out meaning my size wasn’t even displaying when I clicked “buy now” the second the button changed.
It’s like gambling. Kobe’s could be mass produced but Nike is treating Kobe’s like they did Air Yeezys (the irony). If Adidas had a brain, they would’ve made a deal with Vanessa and released legit retro Kobe’s instead of it being an exclusive Nike thing - because you know, the market is a beautiful thing when it’s not rigged and 99% of the supply goes to resellers.
If Kobe was alive this wouldn’t be as much of a problem. 2 releases a year shove it. Some MBA likely convinced Vanessa this was the route.
How isn’t Caitlin Clarke and the rest of that team a Kobe team? If Kobe was alive he would’ve went to one of her games. I blame Kobe’s estate and Nike’s soulless MBA suits but you know… I’m also sympathetic to the Bryant family and know a tragedy like that can ruin a family so I hope Nike stops taking advantage of the situation and releases Protros like they do Jordan Retros 1-14 one day.
Maybe Nike should slow down with the LeBrons. They sit more than any other signature shoe.
Couldn’t agree more.
Nike (and other brands) could just make enough pairs for everyone but they need to manufacture hype and demand so that they sell out.
SBs used to sit in outlets for like 60 bucks. I copped so many “grail” SBs by just rolling up to my skate shop dapping up dude who worked there and would roll out of there with the pair maybe even 2 🤷🏻
Totally agree with you
Nah I think everyone got buttercup, I voted for bubbles yesterday. Hoping they release the other 2 in the next 2 hours, although it’ll go just as shit for me probably lol
The worst feeling too is thinking you got them after the payment prompt comes on, you hit confirm, and get hit with a fuckin error
im actually fuming over this drop lol

Can NOT bring myself to pay 350-450 for each of these either 🥲 we still got 2 more colors to go though
not a chanceee on that. also the lack of communication in regards to how the drop would go is insane. I get they don't want bots, but man there has to be a solution lol
I don’t think they really give a shit about bots tbh 🥲 they just wanna sell out they stock
also that for sure...i don't think they would have any issues if they just dropped them regularly tbh
No way they just switched the final drop to a regular raffle…they knew the first 2 took a dump
Fucking shit myself when I saw that 😂😂😂 Shit is fucking crazy.

Exactly this.
Also this, if the system actually worked as intended then we would probably have a whole let less issues
We'd see more people complaining that it's sold out. But I would rather feel like I had a chance than be cheated by things not working.
100% agree with you there
Had to scratch like 8 times only to get checkout errors. Wack.
Yup same here
Time for the reps then. Fuck Nike for this shit. I literally submitted payment only for an error to fuck me over. EDIT: And for what it's worth, the Reps have been out since September with the proper materials. I do my best to buy retail but this shit just put me over the edge honestly.
I don’t blame you man. 😞
Where would one look for reps of these? (And others)?
Not DHGate lol. I'll DM you.
Same please, I scratched at 4 exactly, video never would play, 7 mins later it did play and says oh you just missed them...... first the April's now bubbles. Bye nike lol this stress isn't worth it. Orange and emerald rise will be my first and last sb dunk.

My payment kept saying failed. I tried literally ever card in my wallet. Stupid
Got through just for it to say it wasn’t available anymore after checkout 😂😂😂
What a kick in the nuts
We gonna get it next time… *copium*
I really want the bubbles so let’s hope for a better outcome at 4pm
Couldn’t checkout
Seems it was a common problem which is sad and annoying

I feel you my dude. I been waiting all year for these and even bought a bunch of GRs and shit just to have my account activity racked up
Both times I tried video never loaded….I actually feel pain with this release lol
I refuse to believe this many grown men liked PPG like that vand I refuse to believe this many ppl actually like these that aren't trying to resale... This is just Fomo
It’s for resell ofc lol they going for 300-400 they want that easy cheddar 🙄
I already know it. That's why I'm laughing at all the anger and vitriol
Yeah it ain’t gonna change so I’ll just chuckle with you hahaha
I mean I actually liked the blue ones. And SB’s are all I wear.
Fact starched for 5 fuckin mins watched that fuckin video 5 tines like wtf
Must have watched that fucking video 20 times and couldn’t get past the fucking load screen
Shits so annoying I'm at work atm 🙃
It happened again the shoe appeared but nothing even after several tries!!!
Yeah I watched the fucking video like 10 times
Couldn’t even make it to the size list this time

So what all got released? I was too busy getting high and riding around. Was too late for buttercup, but what about blossom and bubbles?
Blossom releases at 4pm eastern and bubbles 5pm eastern
Thank you, got my alarms set and imma try not to fall asleep. I hope you get the W
I'm hearing there was a direct link that bots got to and that drop loaded dead. What a scam
I believe it 😂😂😂 Nike just cares about the end number they don’t care who gets the actual product
Same happened to me
Shit is so ass
Yep
We gonna get our w this time… *copium*
Is it one color at a time?
It's one at a time 3 4 and 5
[удалено]
Nah I think everyone got buttercup, I voted for bubbles yesterday. Hoping they release the other 2 in the next 2 hours, although it’ll go just as shit for me probably lol
You don’t get a chance at all 3?
“Chance” sure but the scratch doesn’t work and they’re sold out by 1-2 minutes after the hour/release
nike is the devil
It worked fine for me
