Honestly this whole sneaker drop thing becomes a legit second job sometimes. Woke up at like 3:45 AM already stressed ’cause rumors were flying about this surprise collab. Coffee brewing felt more like prepping for battle than breakfast. Had my setup ready:
- Phone juiced to 100% 📱
- Laptop plugged in charging 🖥️
- Tablet open with a random sneaker forum 🤷♂️
Checked everywhere – IG, Twitter, even some niche Discord servers where people whisper drop info. Zero official confirmation yet. Just a million “trusted sources” saying “soon”. Refreshed the main LV site homepage ’til my finger cramped. Nothing. Nada.
Heard whispers that certain bot cook groups knew more. Poked around, found one invite link hidden deep in a Telegram chat. Joined for like $15 – figured what the hell, might get a hint. Group chat was chaos, just constant emojis and codes no normal human understands. Saw “GO TIME” spam at 4:37 AM. Panicked.
Frantically pulled up the LV page again. Smashed refresh like a wild chimpanzee for three straight minutes. Site crashed. White screen of death. Cursed loud enough to wake the dog. Tried phone next. Got stuck in a damn password loop needing 2FA texts that never arrived. Time ticking away.
Switched to Tablet, somehow got further. Actually saw that sleek black high-top appear. Heart thumping like a drum. Hit “ADD TO CART”. Spinning wheel of doom. Hung there for 90 seconds. Then… error message. Felt like a gut punch. Brutal.
Checked stock numbers 20 minutes later on the forum. Size 11? Sold out globally in under 60 seconds. Saw screenshots in the cook group Discord – bots copped hundreds. They were already bragging and reselling pairs in private chats before I’d even finished my cold coffee. Felt pointless, honestly.
What did I learn? Manual users like me are basically peasants storming a castle wall with sticks against cannon fire. Those bots are lethal. And LV clearly doesn’t give a damn about keeping the site stable for a real drop. Was it even worth the lost sleep? Doubt it. Feels less like copping heat and more like getting hustled.
