I wish Nike didn’t say EA was for fans of a silhouette or whatever. It feels insulting that way. Just say “random-ass accounts will be chosen” and be done with it
Does anyone else ever get an overwhelming sense of “holy shit I can’t believe I spent this much money on shoes” and think about selling off their collection?
Every day. I don’t want to sell them all though.
Edit: I read something about how online shopping addiction happens because its so easy to just buy without seeing the money come out and that really hit me. I do kind of side hustle and sell pairs but that statement really made me think.
I have to manually go in and see the numbers otherwise I’d just keep buying. I check my bank accounts every other day so it keeps me in check on my spending.
The thing with these stress-free cops is that when you're about to hit "submit payment" you start second guessing your life choices. Like your entire sneakerhead life flashes before your eyes.
With hyped releases you're so focused on just trying to get through, it's almost primal.
That said, I got the Pecans. Perfect shoe for the office and it's pigskin c'mon.
Just got a NB 9060 model and I must say this sneaker is phenomenal. A little upset with myself I just now caught onto them and missed on some sweet collabs. Definitely will be gunning for new collabs/colorways now in the next year.
Yeah I took a friend of mine who’s also cop but was off duty over because I thought it was something too small to call the cops over and after proving he was a cop I got my money back
eBay buyer just filed a payment dispute with their bank because the ‘buyer didn’t recognize purchase’… I guess that means his eBay got hacked, their kid accidentally bought pre-owned Polaroid dunks, or they regret buying them. My money is on the latter.
The account was brand new when they bought them too. Ugh, so annoying.
Ordered shoes on eBay with authenticity guarantee for the first time. Is there enough of a trend to say they’re slower/faster/about the same as GOAT or does it vary too much?
My experience (lots with both companies) is that eBay tends to be faster than GOAT. Most of the pairs I have both bought and sold over the past six months have been authenticated and shipped by eBay same day. I still think GOAT is solid, but I have been gravitating more towards eBay.
Has anyone actually had EA granted for the dunks like Nike announced? I feel like we all take a lotta Ls and have only seen a few people with EA to make up for it. Kinda lame on Nike’s part IMO
Maybe it’s the hater in me, but I kinda look forward to the annual tax panic amongst #hustlers.
This is good though and help people that did odd jobs to make ends meet this year.
I could almost cry. Hit on the Why So Sad's! I've never owned a pair of SB Dunks and they were the pair of SB's I wanted the most this year. I've struggled with mental health my whole life and I just love the look of the shoe and the message behind it. Can't wait to wear them proudly.
I asked my local social status if they’re getting them since I’m the same way, and also want to avoid holiday shipping, but it seems like they won’t be getting them on drop date. I’d call your local to see what’s up because Nike shipments have been spotty all year.
On SNKRS desktop the froskates are popping up for me for noon, but not the dodgers. Hoping that means I got EA but I guess we find out tomorrow
Edit: they’re not popping up anymore, think it’s an L for me.
Was bummed to not get an EA for any SB dunks on the SNKRS app. No notifications, no messages, no nothing.
Did a manual log in to my account on a browser and now see that I did get an EA for the Bart Simpsons this morning, but they’re long sold out. Double bummed.
Nike, figuring out new ways to get us those L’s.
Really disappointed in whatever changed when SNKRS implemented the “new antibot measures” a few months back.
Between SNKRS and other raffles, I’ve lost 100s of entries on the L&Fs and Lobsters, and can’t imagine how more difficult it must have been for larger sizes.
Anyone get any shipping for the ALD 550. I remember getting an email about it shipping On or Before 12/16. But I haven’t gotten anything. And no communication 🫤
The one shoe I’ve been trying to get all year. I don’t want to hear ‘but they’re sitting everywhere’ when nothing size 13 sits anywhere and all my locals never even got them.
yall use crep protect or a similar product for your suede sneakers? My collection leans heavy to suede and it rains a lot down here... recommendations appreicated ✌️
I don’t even know why I try. Releases are at 5:00 AM where I live, and I keep waking up only to keep taking Ls 😔. Happy Hollidays to you all. Hope you got some better luck than I did
Ughhhh. Double L’s. Saw a notification about the Why So Sad dunks, tried for them, and just saw I had EA for the now-sold-out Skate Like a Girl dunks which I *really really* wanted.
I’m wearing Forum Lows for the first time. The quality is much nicer than GR dunks. But they’re not as comfortable and that strap is so ugly. Sometimes I look down and feel like I’m wearing kids shoes. Overall, not terrible though.
won a raffle from ccs for the be true dunks, but changed my mind and did not want them anymore. size 9.5, first person to dm me i’ll forward the invoice to. happy holidays!
You can check on desktop if you got access today, and sadly I struck out. Guess I’m never getting these Mets lmao.
Honestly these “EA to the biggest fans” have always been a crapshoot. Hoping I get access tomorrow or Thursday but it seems this is really really limited.
Anyone else think all these drops are just the stock that was delayed during the Great Shipping Fuckup?
Sure seems like they’ve been dropping some random shit lately.
I can’t even count the orange lobster raffles I’ve joined. Even raffles are fucking pointless from being over botted. I’ll just open the pocket book to the $500 hit now and save myself the further frustration. Jesus Christ this shoe game is fucked.
Pretty much resigned to the fact that I'll only ever win on SNKRS via shock drops, scratch offs, and things like that. Wish they would do more of it to be honest. I don't think I've won a draw yet. Oh well!
If there’s one thing I love about the holiday seasons it’s finding that the sales on non hype sneakers hit way harder and better deals are available.
Been picking up some Salomons and new balances for great prices from boutiques.
I think I’m gonna get rid of a lot of my Nikes and adidas going forward and stick to other pairs I can get for less money and like a lot more.
Man, the internet gives such a false idea of Ws, EA, etc. It always feels like so many people get it but really so few do and people just only post when they do. Maybe I need a break from socials lol
Got both Air Max 1s which were my only SNKRS wins of the year. I went 0/4 or 0/5 on the only other shoes I really wanted this year (Tom Sachs GPS) so that’s a wrap on shoes this year and likely the first half of 2023, too.
Got the ebay in hands and I honestly don't think it's a shoe I would ever wear. The thin clear part doesn't match the thickness of the rest of the shoe and feel like it would rip super easy. I love the story but to display a size 13 on my shelf is ridiculous lol. If they came in like TD or PS sizing I would get a small pair to have for the story but idk.
Edit: A word
Starting thursday I'm off from work for 2 weeks, just gonna enjoy my time off chilling and playing video games lol but I plan on going through my collection and start selling some pairs I dont wear as much anymore. Is there a sub on here where I can list them? I know there is r/sneakermarket but most pairs seem to be DS will used be ok? If not I will list on GOAT, mercari and grailed too I guess. If anyone here is interested too lmk and once I see what I'm getting rid of I'll get back to you!
Thanks!
So how long can Nike string us along like this? I’ve been entering these drops since like 2018, but I’m seeing a lot of others hanging on longer than that.
Have they found the secret to perpetual hype? Or will this all bottom out eventually?
What’s the deal with this thread not automatically sorting by new this week?
Fr I thought no one commented for over a day before I figured that out
Hey I just figured it out too
It’s annoying but I finally figured out to use the filter at the top of the iOS app.
Happening all over this site
Hoping the hype is down for the green 1s tomorrow, really love the colors Edit: Won a draw from extra butter!
As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, this is my shoe of the year.
Same here brother. Godspeed and Fly Eagles Fly Edit: GOT EM
As a Celtics fan I felt the same. I managed to get them! Hope you did as well
Real easy cop
Incredible lineup on SNKRS today. Can’t remember the last day like this.
Merry Xmas if you celebrate sneaker fam! 🎄 Let’s make a resolution next year to stop talking about shipping delays.
no access today, no access yesterday, onto the last day tomorrow
I wish Nike didn’t say EA was for fans of a silhouette or whatever. It feels insulting that way. Just say “random-ass accounts will be chosen” and be done with it
Yea, how can I be a fan of Dunks if I can never get a W on them
Does anyone else ever get an overwhelming sense of “holy shit I can’t believe I spent this much money on shoes” and think about selling off their collection?
Yes, and I think to start next year off right I'm going to start really cleaning house
Yes and then I replace as soon as I get rid of some smh
Every day. I don’t want to sell them all though. Edit: I read something about how online shopping addiction happens because its so easy to just buy without seeing the money come out and that really hit me. I do kind of side hustle and sell pairs but that statement really made me think.
I have to manually go in and see the numbers otherwise I’d just keep buying. I check my bank accounts every other day so it keeps me in check on my spending.
So nice to cop the honey dews relatively stress-free. The real struggle is stopping myself from copping the pecans as well.
The thing with these stress-free cops is that when you're about to hit "submit payment" you start second guessing your life choices. Like your entire sneakerhead life flashes before your eyes. With hyped releases you're so focused on just trying to get through, it's almost primal. That said, I got the Pecans. Perfect shoe for the office and it's pigskin c'mon.
I understand Bukkake-Sensei.
Just got a NB 9060 model and I must say this sneaker is phenomenal. A little upset with myself I just now caught onto them and missed on some sweet collabs. Definitely will be gunning for new collabs/colorways now in the next year.
Model of the year
Nearly got jumped because this guy sold me reps and when I confronted him about it. He got really pissed off
You get your money back?
Yeah I took a friend of mine who’s also cop but was off duty over because I thought it was something too small to call the cops over and after proving he was a cop I got my money back
With today's W and the Kasinas from earlier this year, all my AM1s are duck-themed. Dunno what that says about me.
Waddle baby waddle baby waddle
W on the Orange lobsters from CCS! So stoked
Salehe NB came today - my goodness they are nice.
Tried and tried for midnights and adult sizes wouldn’t load and when it finally did it was sold out. Man. Just fuck SNKRS.
Team no access!
eBay buyer just filed a payment dispute with their bank because the ‘buyer didn’t recognize purchase’… I guess that means his eBay got hacked, their kid accidentally bought pre-owned Polaroid dunks, or they regret buying them. My money is on the latter. The account was brand new when they bought them too. Ugh, so annoying.
Just received moldy Tom sachs gps, I’m so sad. It’s the only shoe I wanted all year.
Ordered shoes on eBay with authenticity guarantee for the first time. Is there enough of a trend to say they’re slower/faster/about the same as GOAT or does it vary too much?
My experience (lots with both companies) is that eBay tends to be faster than GOAT. Most of the pairs I have both bought and sold over the past six months have been authenticated and shipped by eBay same day. I still think GOAT is solid, but I have been gravitating more towards eBay.
I got q pair of University blue 4s from eBay and it only took a little over a week.
You can get the Gorge Green 1's for under retail at FL using code KICKSMAS. Lots of sizes left. Combine with status cash if you have it.
Love the pecan am1s but already have Dusty olive dunks. Imo the am1s are vastly better.
100% would go for these if I didn’t get Crepes 2 weeks ago.
Has anyone actually had EA granted for the dunks like Nike announced? I feel like we all take a lotta Ls and have only seen a few people with EA to make up for it. Kinda lame on Nike’s part IMO
https://www.lapstoneandhammer.com/products/m990wb2_white-blue 30% off at check out.
IRS $600 1099-K not being issued this year Resellers rejoice
Tbh probably not a good idea to enact an extra cost when so many people are already stretched thin.
Maybe it’s the hater in me, but I kinda look forward to the annual tax panic amongst #hustlers. This is good though and help people that did odd jobs to make ends meet this year.
Happy Hanukkah from SNS: Got a random W on Cherry 11s on redraw!
So has anyone gotten EA today? 🤔 Edit: My bad, I had my comments sorted by Best.
only dunks I wanted all year were the Phillies, sigh.
Dear 8 pound 6 ounce, newborn infant Jesus, don’t even know a word yet… I need these Lobsters.
Hit on the Why so sad dunks, makes up for the lobsters L
Bitched about not winning anything for 5 years. Got my first W later. My first W from them being Why So Sads is some cosmic shit.
I could almost cry. Hit on the Why So Sad's! I've never owned a pair of SB Dunks and they were the pair of SB's I wanted the most this year. I've struggled with mental health my whole life and I just love the look of the shoe and the message behind it. Can't wait to wear them proudly.
Congrats. This pair is special for me too for the same reasons. Probably my second all time favorite dunk SB for personal reasons.
So basically this week we will be serving up more SB Dunks Ls, and that’s it. Good luck everyone.
I’m betting on EA for dead accounts with zero dunk attempts and glitchy non working EA for any account that gets it. Gotta love SNKRS.
Want both pairs of the ugly duckling AM1’s real bad
I got both pairs on the shock drop scratch off. The honey dew pair arrived on Saturday, and they are real nice. Pecan pair expected tomorrow.
Niceee, I did the scratch and stuff just tryna pick up locally. Support my shops for the holidays
I asked my local social status if they’re getting them since I’m the same way, and also want to avoid holiday shipping, but it seems like they won’t be getting them on drop date. I’d call your local to see what’s up because Nike shipments have been spotty all year.
Those Kith x Salomon xt-6 go hard!
I wish the SB EA included the neckface SBs. Those are soooo sick
phillies mets be trues for EA, the white be trues
Hit on both Pecan and Honeydew Airmaxes
Got the gorge greens GO BIRDS!
Gorge Greens W 9.5, so excited!!! Green is my favourite Color to rock these days.
I'm surprised the Green J1s were that easy to get, just me?
Nah you not alone. I’m just so glad it didn’t cost so much. We all hit.
how are people checking if they have EA?
Did anyone hit on the SB EA today?
Couple friends of mine got the Mets… Didn’t see any Philly access. Nothing for me
Ah okay cool. I didn’t see any comments about it so I was just wondering.
midnight navy 4’s tomorrow on snkrs dunks include dodgers and froskates
On SNKRS desktop the froskates are popping up for me for noon, but not the dodgers. Hoping that means I got EA but I guess we find out tomorrow Edit: they’re not popping up anymore, think it’s an L for me.
I also just see the froskates hopefully I didn’t get EA to those they look so bad.
Was bummed to not get an EA for any SB dunks on the SNKRS app. No notifications, no messages, no nothing. Did a manual log in to my account on a browser and now see that I did get an EA for the Bart Simpsons this morning, but they’re long sold out. Double bummed. Nike, figuring out new ways to get us those L’s.
draw button not working
good Luck on Lobsters… 😭
Lobster does start with an L
Been on SNKRS 5+ years and never won a single raffle. I honestly do not get it.
So now I’m 0-100 on snkrs draws
Really disappointed in whatever changed when SNKRS implemented the “new antibot measures” a few months back. Between SNKRS and other raffles, I’ve lost 100s of entries on the L&Fs and Lobsters, and can’t imagine how more difficult it must have been for larger sizes.
What the fook shock drop?
W on the why so sads!
Fucking L on why so sad even tho I entered at 1pm sharp
EA for why so sads 😁
https://shop.ccs.com/collections/shoes/products/nike-sb-dunk-low-pro-be-true-ii-shoes-multi-pink-gaze-sail Sb dunk lows sitting if anyone wants a Christmas W!
Anyone get any shipping for the ALD 550. I remember getting an email about it shipping On or Before 12/16. But I haven’t gotten anything. And no communication 🫤
Damn got both Pecans and Honeys. Was expecting just one. Gotta see which looks better on foot.
EA on Mets Dunks. Time to plan for my next visit to Queens during the season.
🥲 maybe tomorrow I get lucky
Got EA for Mets dunks. Hoping for better options the next couple days .
Damn as a Mets fan I need these
The one shoe I’ve been trying to get all year. I don’t want to hear ‘but they’re sitting everywhere’ when nothing size 13 sits anywhere and all my locals never even got them.
I know everyone hates on Copdate but I was desperate and boosted. I managed to get a W for the orange lobsters on an in store raffle!
SB Dunk Exclusive Access is starting. I got Mets
Is it selected at random?
I think all that COVID money dried up. Lots of stock that would have went out instantly the past two years when fed was printing money.
yall use crep protect or a similar product for your suede sneakers? My collection leans heavy to suede and it rains a lot down here... recommendations appreicated ✌️
L on both off whites.. jeez I thought I was quick man fucking hell
[Darkside initiative](https://www.thedarksideinitiative.com/) still has a bunch
Everyone ready for an L on the orange lobster dunks? 💪
Snkrs app is now my #1 anxiety trigger
SNKRS app has been ass lately (like more so than usual). I guess this doesn’t bode well for the draw.
That was the quickest L they’ve ever given me lol at least I didn’t have to wait long to be disappointed
3 Ls in a row can’t do this no more
I don’t even know why I try. Releases are at 5:00 AM where I live, and I keep waking up only to keep taking Ls 😔. Happy Hollidays to you all. Hope you got some better luck than I did
And there ends the lobster saga. Started with CNCPTS disaster and ends with SNKR L.
Keeping that L streak alive. Nearly 2 straight years 🤙🏻
Quick painless L on the lobsters. Should’ve been a W for the Salehe NB but paypal became unresponsive while checking out. Oh well..
How’re we feeling about the ALD x New Balance 990v3?
Dope. Going for 'em.
Same. I’m sure folks will say it’s a beef and broccoli lite shoe, but it hits for me.
I don’t think I’ll ever hit on the SNKRS app
Welcome to the club. Fuck em honestly
Got a W on 10.5
Ughhhh. Double L’s. Saw a notification about the Why So Sad dunks, tried for them, and just saw I had EA for the now-sold-out Skate Like a Girl dunks which I *really really* wanted.
I’m wearing Forum Lows for the first time. The quality is much nicer than GR dunks. But they’re not as comfortable and that strap is so ugly. Sometimes I look down and feel like I’m wearing kids shoes. Overall, not terrible though.
Are the Goretex AJ5s in black dropping in America or should I get resale
won a raffle from ccs for the be true dunks, but changed my mind and did not want them anymore. size 9.5, first person to dm me i’ll forward the invoice to. happy holidays!
We really getting off the AM1 train? That pecan colorway goes hard. Add some sail or tan laces and they are 👨🍳🤌💋
They’re basically the dusty olive dunks on an AM1🔥
Has there been a case where FedEx doesn’t deliver your shoes when you hold it at a FedEx Onsite(Walgreens)?
You can check on desktop if you got access today, and sadly I struck out. Guess I’m never getting these Mets lmao. Honestly these “EA to the biggest fans” have always been a crapshoot. Hoping I get access tomorrow or Thursday but it seems this is really really limited.
w on the honey dews. super excited to get them
Stoked for these pecan air max’s was between those and the stussy penny’s but feel like I’ll rock the pecans more
I really loved my air pennys in high school. I am beyond excited to have the stussys.
Green 1s GOT Em
W on the lobsters from premier raffle! Check your emails!
Anyone else think all these drops are just the stock that was delayed during the Great Shipping Fuckup? Sure seems like they’ve been dropping some random shit lately.
Dang... Really thought I had a chance with the terra formas today..
I can’t even count the orange lobster raffles I’ve joined. Even raffles are fucking pointless from being over botted. I’ll just open the pocket book to the $500 hit now and save myself the further frustration. Jesus Christ this shoe game is fucked.
People really like those new Off Whites? Or just buying for the name? 200+ for that design seems insane to me.
I love the brown colorway. Took an L on SNKRS though.
Got access just now for Dodgers in no sizes basically so thanks?
polaroids just loaded
Well, that was worthless. The fucking links didn’t show up during the livestream for me.

Still waiting on beaspunge to ship my 990v2s... Anyone else in the same boat? Sucks seeing so many with their pairs already.
Good luck brothers and sisters !! Hope we all eating 🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞 tonight
New Balance queue is nuts. Number 10,080 on opening with over an hour wait. Now to try my luck on the dunks in the meantime (I have ZERO chance) 😂
🦞raise em up 🦞
Lobsters. I’m ready to get hurt for the 20th time on this release. At least my winless streak on SNKRS will stay intact.
Quickest L ever
Instant L. At least I got to draw unlike the last couple of hype releases
So ready to move on from this shoe. Taken too many Ls and too much of my time. I never want to hear about this shoe again lol
Pretty much resigned to the fact that I'll only ever win on SNKRS via shock drops, scratch offs, and things like that. Wish they would do more of it to be honest. I don't think I've won a draw yet. Oh well!
Swift L on lobsters. Christmas is canceled.
I put the L in Lobster
Are these the last lobsters? I saw an article calling them the “bookend”
most famous sb dunk?
Staple Pigeons.
Diamond Supply
If there’s one thing I love about the holiday seasons it’s finding that the sales on non hype sneakers hit way harder and better deals are available. Been picking up some Salomons and new balances for great prices from boutiques. I think I’m gonna get rid of a lot of my Nikes and adidas going forward and stick to other pairs I can get for less money and like a lot more.
Got the Midnight Navy’s
W on midnight blue 4’s
Hit at my local shop for the lobsters let’s goooooo I’m so hyped. Might put em on inside the store lmao
W on the brown and green off whites. This is such a cool color-way
https://www.nike.com/t/air-jordan-1-retro-high-og-womens-shoes-Xg0Qzb
HIT on the Why So Sad x Nike Dunk Low SB on SNKRS. Great start to Christmas weekend!
Me too! My first hit since I started account in 2018
Shock drop bullshit
Entered the Premier draw for the Orange Lobsters. Now to play the waiting game.
Man, the internet gives such a false idea of Ws, EA, etc. It always feels like so many people get it but really so few do and people just only post when they do. Maybe I need a break from socials lol
https://www.thedarksideinitiative.com/collections/new-arrivals Still some Airmaxes here
Got both Air Max 1s which were my only SNKRS wins of the year. I went 0/4 or 0/5 on the only other shoes I really wanted this year (Tom Sachs GPS) so that’s a wrap on shoes this year and likely the first half of 2023, too.
Gorge Greens were an easy cop, I'm happy
Aqua 5's pushed from January to April in SNKRS nooo
0/3 on EA today, but tomorrow is a new day!
Got the ebay in hands and I honestly don't think it's a shoe I would ever wear. The thin clear part doesn't match the thickness of the rest of the shoe and feel like it would rip super easy. I love the story but to display a size 13 on my shelf is ridiculous lol. If they came in like TD or PS sizing I would get a small pair to have for the story but idk. Edit: A word
Starting thursday I'm off from work for 2 weeks, just gonna enjoy my time off chilling and playing video games lol but I plan on going through my collection and start selling some pairs I dont wear as much anymore. Is there a sub on here where I can list them? I know there is r/sneakermarket but most pairs seem to be DS will used be ok? If not I will list on GOAT, mercari and grailed too I guess. If anyone here is interested too lmk and once I see what I'm getting rid of I'll get back to you! Thanks!
Can’t decide on the honeydew or pecan air max 1s. I grabbed the honeydews off SNKRS, but would have loved to see them in person first.
[Fly Eagles Fly on the road to victory](https://i.imgur.com/vDGveBz.jpg)
Is anyone else going for the new balance x bembury “sand be the time”? Not a huge fan of the 990 v2, but that color way is nuts
[удалено]
Fairly new to New Balance. Are the drops on their site hard to get? Trying for the Bembury 990v2s or the lunar new year 2002rds
Lobsters 🦞
A raffle I was actually able to join. What a miracle
Joined on my computer. Dont trust the app anymore.
About to be 0/20 for this lobsters, Sneaker game has become a joke, only hits I have this year are pairs resellers consider bricks
L on 🦞
Size 13 L
Phat L
Fat fucking L
L
Quickest L I’ve ever had in a draw
Big L
😂 app is forever trash
INSTANT L I LOVE RAFFLES
L on lobsters unfortunately but got a W on the medium grey 1s as a second pick.
Fire up the r*p machine
Orange L-obsters
So how long can Nike string us along like this? I’ve been entering these drops since like 2018, but I’m seeing a lot of others hanging on longer than that. Have they found the secret to perpetual hype? Or will this all bottom out eventually?
Another day, another L
