Yesterday was a frustrating one for the sneaker community at large. Many of us were dialed into our desktops, laptops and phones from 1pm EST to a little after 3pm EST with the same hopes: to score a pair (or nine) of Vigil Abloh’s OFF White x Nike “The Ten”<\/strong> collection.<\/p>\n

Nike’s\u00a0SNKRS<\/strong> App, however, wasn’t on our side. Due to insane amounts of traffic, the app was riddled with technical difficulties leaving many unable to secure the pairs they so desperately desired.<\/p>\n

Nike<\/strong>, to the Wall Street Journal’s Sara Germano, made an official statement regarding the technical issues citing “unprecedented level of demand” during “The Ten” release. The shoes – which sold out in minutes – were originally set to be released through Nike’s The Draw program but was scrapped, also due to overwhelming demand.<\/p>\n

At this time, there doesn’t appear to be a re-release for the “The Ten” forthcoming. However, it is expected that Virgil and Nike will continue to work together in 2018. Take a look at Nike’s full statement to the WSJ below and see what it was like for many trying to cop “The The” yesterday here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
