My Bodega release recap is below!
My Concerns:
Im not going to lie, I am a bit concerned with some of the questions being asked right before release. Please please do not show up for a release 5 minutes before in a panic asking about passwords and if you should refresh. We post release guides the day before and do a lot to ensure you have all the info you need. I do not go to bed before a major release until I check my DMs. Talk to us the day before release and read the release guides. Im not saying this to single anyone out, I just want to make sure people succeed and I hate seeing questions asked that basically mean you will take an L because you’re steps behind.
What happened today?
To be clear, as I have been saying for a week now the expectation was for them to use a decoy site — which they did: https://hiddeninternetsitenorobotsplease.com. I only asked you to prepare a pre-cart on bdgastore.com in case of emergency. It came down to how quickly did you get past the password page and then into queue on the new website.
Bookmark Sites
Saying this to ensure everyone knows because I saw people asking questions about refreshing or what the password was. You’re doing it all wrong if this is the question you’re asking right before release. Anytime a password page is up the BEST way to get through it is by bookmarking the site URL with no password in it ex. bdgastore.com
The queue:
I have noticed some irregularly long queues for people who say they got into queue at the same time as me or right around it. I don’t have any insight into this and its tough to know why so all I can say is try to be faster than me. I was order #6XXX which means I was thousands of orders slower than some of you who copped. Speed matters and every second counts.
Stock Levels
Based on what I see in the membership, I would expect there to have been 16,000 pairs drop on Bodega today. I would expect SNKRS to have about the same amount and for worldwide stock for this collab to be somewhere around 30-35K.
Friends and Family Pair
This is a reminder that 1 and 20 orders will get trading cards that earn them a FREE pair of the friends and family edition in white. It is very very likely a member or two gets this so please let us know if you do!
Nike x Bodega clothing:
It never released and I don’t know why, but it now looks like its very limited and the letterman jackets will be $1,200 USD retail. You can win one for free via IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWiyPPBBQW/
SNKRS Release:
The next drop for these will be this Wednesday at 10AM EST on SNKRS. I don’t believe anyone else is getting these? but I will look around.
