Today at 9:00 a.m. The new Jordan 1 mid in Electric pink should come out on the Foot locker online page. Of course I was on the side of exactly the sneaker that I want to buy at shortly before 9 am and immediately when it got 9 am I updated the page on my cell phone and then on my laptop. So I really pressed right when it went from 59 to 0. Then a page appeared that said: You are now in the virtual queue. Please be patient and do not update the page, it will update itself, otherwise you will end up in the queue. Thanks for your patience the wait will pay off! After 2 hours of waiting, I strangely got hold of my laptop first, even though I was in the queue with my cell phone first. For me, that means that somehow it can't go in order. Above all, of course, all shoes were sold out and the waiting was free. But I figured while waiting there couldn't be many people before pressing to update, so definitely not so many that ALL shoes were gone, not even one size was available. Does anyone know how that can be?
The sneaker game is unfortunately bigger than you think. There are people who buy virtual bits for 400 euro to press update earlier. As a normal person you have almost 0 chances to get one online.
Many thanks for your response. I didn't even have a clue that there was such a thing as That's totally unfair… The shoes would have cost 109 euro at Footlocker and the resellers want at least 300 euro for the shoes. Find it somehow sad that people want to enrich it and take normal people the chance to get such shoes at their original price.
That's how the market works.
If you want to get your shoes just like everyone else, you have to "camp" in front of the shop or buy a sneakerbot for at least 500 euro. Then there are credit cards / payment methods, proxies (IP addresses for the bot), … In addition.
You only need the right tools, then you get almost every shoe.
