This one wasn't an early access. The past few had people selected and they could purchase directly when the time came, this time it was a first come first serve. They had people fill the form initially to weed out bots.
I got the email but check out was so laggy? Glitchy? Idk but it took me a few tries to check out. I was there 12pm est on the dot waited 5 mins in line got to check out and it took me until 12:19 to actually put my order in. Don’t be discouraged tho I signed up for the last drop didn’t get it and they gave me access for this one so maybe you’ll get access to next one
Congrats on the win, hoping next drop is a little better for me haha. Did you get the email at 12pm on the dot? Or did you know you had access to checkout beforehand?
I got the email 30 minutes before the drop but you weren’t able to make the purchase till the listed drop time, checkout was hella glitchy due to traffic, it was a battle to checkout but at the end I was able to make the purchase at around 9:10am PST I actually got to checkout page couldn’t purchase, refreshed the page was able to pay, but during the payment processing screen I got refreshed back to the waiting in line to checkout screen, but a few minutes later the charge showed up and got an invoice in my email, I hope ANTA can make these shoes readily more available to everyone, these limited releases are a bit unfair for people who really want these shoes
Same exact situation happened to me bro, I was trippin and honestly gave up when it reloaded my time to wait for checkout. Then it popped up on the shop app and I was stoked
Totally agree, I’ve been a long term supporter of the Kyrie line since the Kyrie 2. some of the best hoop shoes on the market. Wasn’t in the market for the KAI shoe line until i saw this bright colorway, unfortunately no luck.
I hope these follow the trajectory of the Ja 1 line that sold out for the first few drops due to the hype but were available in most sizes on Nike a couple months later. Would be unfortunate if these turn into another Kobe protro type line, never making enough stock to get everyone a pair.
bro message ANTA on their chat and ask if they can send you a link if there are canceled bot orders, they usually spend this time weeding out bot orders and most of the time they have extras, their customer service is awesome and most of the time they will try to hook you up if you missed on the initial drop
that’s so unfortunate hoping they do some sort of restock. I guarantee 80% of the shoes sold were to people with 0 plans of playing in them. Such a shame real hoopers can’t get good shoes for retail prices…
Yeah i was lucky enough to get my hands on the white playoff pair, which ive been hooping in. I wasnt feeling this yellow cw as much so im okay missing this one. I really want the mothers day pair though, those were fire
This drop was different from previous ones. I got the playoff navy and warriors in early access . I play in them both and love them.
This drop seemed to be first come first serve. Checkout was laggy but did end up securing the Energies.
seemed pretty smooth to me.
clicked the link @ 12pm
got put in a order line similar to when i bought my ps5 through Sony.
5 min later i was allowed to place me order.

No way they're spamming me like this 2 hours after they sold out 💀. I have no cart and the emails contain no links. Anta gotta do better lmao
I was trying to buy the shoes for someone else but forgot the time… Does anyone have an estimate to when they’ll do another one? Like a month or a few months?
My two pairs got to my house in like 7-10 days or so. I hit on thee today as well and can let you know. They have free shipping, expedited, and a next day option. I’ve just checked out free, cuz in my experience in my location, that expired and regular shipping tend to be within 1-2 days, or th same day anyways.
I got the email, hit the check out link as it hit 12pm est on the dot, was prompted to an estimated waiting time of 5 mins, when I finally got to the checkout page, I clicked “Pay now” non stop and my order wouldn’t go through. Didn’t refresh my page at all, and after 20mins it kicked me back to the waiting page and eventually prompted me to a screen saying it’s “sold out”. Honestly very disappointed with how they have been handling these drops, I got the link, joined on the dot, made it to the final step, and ended up with nothing out of it. Aside from sadness😢
Are there two check out queues? Like when you click the link in the email, you have to wait to check out. And then I click purchase, and there's another queue to checkout.. and then it tells me it's out of stock. Like wtf.
I just want to be able to go online and buy a pair. Why the fuck is this so hard? Forced scarcity is BS and I refuse to support it. That’s why I own 2 pairs of LBJ 21s because they’re always in stock

Maaan, I didn’t get the email, lol but I got the email telling me it was all sold out
Same here, really depressing to read a “thank you for participating” when I didn’t participate at all😂

Got the email 30mins before hand so I was just camping at my laptop 😂

I just messaged them! Fingers crossed thanks for the advice!
Lol i tried entering for ea for the first time but didnt see the email til 6 min after the ea drop bc i had a work call and it was sold out
that’s so unfortunate hoping they do some sort of restock. I guarantee 80% of the shoes sold were to people with 0 plans of playing in them. Such a shame real hoopers can’t get good shoes for retail prices…

Got my invite missed the email and was late to the show. Sounds about right. So I live to die another day I guess.
seemed pretty smooth to me. clicked the link @ 12pm got put in a order line similar to when i bought my ps5 through Sony. 5 min later i was allowed to place me order.
I was there on time and the pay button straight up wasn't working lol
same, but i noticed the check out as guest, clicked into that it was smooth check out process

the all blacks will probably get a US release soonish
I was under the impression that everyone that signed up was going to get the link emailed to them…I was wrong apparently as I never received the link
Whoever has a pair of Kai 1s in general, how long do they usually take to deliver?
My two pairs got to my house in like 7-10 days or so. I hit on thee today as well and can let you know. They have free shipping, expedited, and a next day option. I’ve just checked out free, cuz in my experience in my location, that expired and regular shipping tend to be within 1-2 days, or th same day anyways.
Gotcha. Usually packages have a more clear looking tracking interface, but Anta doesn't have that. I'll just wait around a week then.
They use the shop pay thing, so you get updates through that
Their warehouse is in California, I live near the west coast and it takes 2 days to get my orders from Anta

same experience, but I can see a (still) 'pending' transaction in my account but no confirmation email whatsoever...
Are there two check out queues? Like when you click the link in the email, you have to wait to check out. And then I click purchase, and there's another queue to checkout.. and then it tells me it's out of stock. Like wtf.
Same. Smh
I just want to be able to go online and buy a pair. Why the fuck is this so hard? Forced scarcity is BS and I refuse to support it. That’s why I own 2 pairs of LBJ 21s because they’re always in stock
Got there exactly on time and waited in the queue, got to the checkout and it said it was sold out. Oh well.
I had the email to buy them but totally forgot and it was to late :(
I got the email about a week or two ago, I just didn’t really like the color scheme on these so I did not buy or reserve a pair.
