No stock in 14 when I checked at 7. If they are released at 12.30 while I'm at the game and I can't buy a pair, this is a colossal fuck up by everyone involved. Cataclysmic. I know you're reading this, Jen. Get me my fucking shoes.
These fuckers only have a certain amount for early access. The rest will be available at 12:30. The worst thing out of all of this is that we will not be fighting each other online for these shoes. The worst thing is that the motherless fucks that will probably be getting these shoes instead of us will not even be UW fans but bots that fan boys hire to get the shoes. I bet these shoes in the after market will be around $1-4k depending on the size.
That's exactly it. It's not Adidas. I anticipated it would be tough and that's why I was up refreshing at 659, but shocked it went like that.
1. Adidas didn't brand the UW (on the shoe) because they knew it would appeal to more people. (Fuck UDUB) 2. This turned the shoe bots loose (bots that are purchased for about $500 and they are set to buy any shoe you want at launch) 3. Every LSU and Laker fan is laughing at us for being played by Adidas. 4. Create the demand and fuck the 30% sale for the UDub idiots. 5. Nike-Adidas, rinse-repeat.
If adidas doesn't brand the shoe UDub, never wake up for a launch again. no point. My nephew got into shoe buying and found out quickly that the market is ruled by these bots and sneaker freaks.

You nailed it. They didn't brand the shoe with any UW (because why give the new little school something special), which opened the gates to ever Laker and LSU fuck and any fan of purple/gold fuck parties, creating the interest from the fucking bots.
Fuck Adidas. There are ways to avoid this and the rest of the shoes won't be available at 12:30, they gone.

In closing, FMFYFAdidas.
Yeah, it’s 100% the bots...and if we’re all smart we’ll complain to both Adidas *AND* the UW Athletic Department if more inventory isn’t made available.
I’m irrationally angry about this, probably because it’s the culmination of my outrage over how shitty clothing selection for UW has been for years. Part of me thinks I’m being petty (#firstworldproblems), but seriously, this is insane. For a university/football program that’s fighting the perception of being elitist *and* struggling to fill the stands with fans, this kind of thing shouldn’t be an issue. As the BDTW/TSIO boys keep preaching, “little” things like this matter.
I'm not irrationally angry, we've never had a good purple/gold shoe that wasn't fucking Laker branded or some obscure fuck design. Or you had to track down a team shoe.
It's called 'copping', and I'm about to buy an account and be the official shoe buyer for this fucking joint.
Complain to UW and tell them to step the fuck up. This was a failed launch. This shoe, the 1st, should have at least had a UW on it and then they could release the regular one. How fucking hard is that.

BTW, the worst (unmentioned) part is Adidas has 30% off which would have made this a reasonable purchase. Now, fuck us.
Exactly. Instead of being excited about these shoes and the new partnership, I’ve now gone 100% WDWTA. I’m pulling a Race and walking away. If the UW AD didn’t anticipate this bot nonsense and not set aside physical inventory at the UW Bookstore or the stadium, fuck ‘em.
Again, I realize I’m acting like a child that didn’t get all the toys they wanted Christmas morning, but I just had overly inflated hopes for the Adidas deal. Is it so wrong to want nice purple/gold things?

Probably some assholes who intend to resell them at markup.
Either way...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I might be an angry drunk at the tailgate today.
Can't pass up this porking lot opportunity with an angry, drunk DDJ.
