Nike upset hypebeasts with accidental Android-exclusive SNKRS drop

Nike dropped this limited-edition shoe using its Behind the Design “scratch” feature, which prompts users to virtually scratch an image to unlock and buy the shoe. As is typically the case with these highly coveted Nike collaborations, the “Queen” Blazer Mid sold out in seconds, with Android users taking basically all the stock. At first, it seemed as if Nike had made the shoes available exclusively on Android, but later it was discovered that iPhone users also had access to the “scratch” release — they just had to log out and back in to the app. Nike is mum on whether this was by design, or if its SNKRS app for iOS just completely dropped the ball.

Either way, the Android crowd who wanted the sneakers and managed to get them was over the moon. Meanwhile, iPhone users took to Twitter to express their frustration by engaging in an age old tradition: making fun of Android owners for not having, well, an iPhone. (Not everyone takes defeat kindly.) And when you think about the fact these $130 shoes sell for around $1,000 on resale apps, you can see why those with an iPhone were so bitter about their loss.

Nike, for its part, is probably laughing at how silly the entire situation is.
