So I'm on Nice Kicks this morning, and I came across this article. And also saw the detailed line that said midnight releases are banned as well as pre-orders. WOW. If only they knew the joy of having sneakers before everyone else, not because you work there. I know with all the robbing and killing for sneakers business its a safety move, but it sucks. And the Twitter reservations? I'm iffy on that one. Why don't they just make the sneakers more available to the public? And how about banning the price jacking the day after the sneaker releases? MSRP store owners. MSRP! Not that plus 50.
NIKE STORE LAUNCHES – TWITTER RSVP
Twitter RSVP is used to help manage product launches at Nike Stores. Follow your local Nike Store on Twitter for launch announcements and frequent updates.
The Twitter RSVP Process:
On the RSVP date, our store will send a tweet at a random time to begin our Twitter RSVP process, including a product specific hashtag (#tag).
Once registration is open, you must Direct Message (“DM”) the store within 60 minutes. The DM must include:
1.The product-specific #tag tweeted by the store
2.The last 4 digits of your State/Passport/Military/School ID number
3.Your shoe size (limit one).
Confirmations from the store will be sent via DM to those who have successfully secured their requested size. Shoes will be awarded on a “first respond, first serve” basis.
Confirmed recipients must pick up their product (in person w/ identification) from the store on the day of launch. Unclaimed product will be announced on Twitter and will be re-released at the store’s discretion.
How do you properly RSVP through DM? Here’s an example:
Store Tweet:
Twitter #RSVP is now open for the Air
Foamposite One.#Electrolime
Consumer Response (DM):
#Electrolime, 4253, 10.5
(For more information about sending a DM, see the Twitter Help Center.)
Twitter RSVP Terms and Conditions:
One item allowed per person, even if you receive two confirmations of successful registrations. Abuse of this rule may result in denial of purchase or entry to future launches.
Confirmed recipients must provide a valid ID that matches the last 4 digits used for RSVP.
Size cannot be changed once it has been confirmed to a person through Twitter RSVP.
Resell or trade of Twitter RSVP confirmation is prohibited.
Twitter RSVP confirmation is not transferable and not redeemable for
cash or for credit towards any purchase.
Lines will not be allowed to form outside the store for this release.
Launch process is always subject to change at any time at the discretion of Nike, Inc.
