Nike has clarified that they have updated their policies regarding the most coveted releases. To make it fair for all.

Time of Release

Regarding the time of release, no Nike stores may sell High Heat Launch Product before 10:00 am EST/ 7:00 am PST of the launch date. Additionally, whether it is online or in the brick-and-mortar store, no products may be sold otherwise directed by Nike with prior written approval.

One Unit per Consumer

All products are limited to one unit per person. After the launch date and everyone has had the opportunity to purchase, consumers can buy additional units.

Random Drawings

The SNKRS draw, aka LEO (Let Everyone Enter) Drop, is intended to give everyone a fair chance to purchase a product, especially releases in limited quantities.

Types of Drawings

Complex also had more information regarding resellers and even employees who may take advantage of reselling. There is no definitive information on how employees weed out resellers; Nike prides itself in ensuring resellers do not take advantage of the market. Nike also mentioned its anti-botting policy as they are keen on blocking suspicious entries. Fraud is also an issue that Nike takes seriously, which is why customers are required to show their IDs to match their accounts.

Overall, Nike is making an attempt to make it fair for the consumer as much as possible. Based on your experience, is Nike being transparent enough on how the brand intends to ensure everyone has a reasonable chance of getting a limited hype sneaker?

From his Certified Lover Boy collection that was mid, to all the Hot Steppas and sneakers that did not deliver whatsoever, and to his previous NOCTA basketball and golf collaborations; Nike and Drake have yet to deliver anything that made the internet buzz. No one in their right mind says, this NOCTA sneaker was the sneaker of the year, or this NOCTA apparel collaboration was the best apparel to drop all year. However, this upcoming collaboration with L'arte de l'automobile might just sway all the naysayers to really rethink about Drake and his creative capabilities. What do you guys think? Do you think Nike should continue their partnership with Drake?
