How Nike Is Trying to Make Limited Sneaker Releases More Fair

Nike takes another step toward evening the playing field.

Rolled out to mostly positive reviews, Nike's new online drawing system is creating a fairer platform for purchasing highly coveted sneakers in light of the controversy involving add-to-cart bots. Apparently pleased with its success, the system is slowly being integrated into NikeLab retail locations.

NYC-based 21 Mercer announced that it will pilot Nike's drawing sytem for the fragment x NikeLab Roshe Cortez and Roshe LD-1000 releases. A link will be tweeted from the @NikeLab Twitter account at 1:00 p.m. EST tomorrow, with a 30-minute window to enter. Winners will reserve a pair for in-store pickup. Online NikeLab releases will remain the same for the time being.
