Same thing happened to me the other day. I clicked a cloaked link on my home IP and it redirected me. Used a proxy and got to the real page.

Confused didn't even begin to explain it.

The real sneaker collectors pay big money for some the limited edition releases.

Has anyone some experience about those bots?
I used to do some kind of automation concerning those releases by entering the online waiting lists (raffles) with loads of mails and aliases. But I only did this at some local sneaker stores that offered something like this on their homepages.
Of course I sometimes ended up with no luck and haven't been able to buy any shoes. That's because they didn't choose one of my contact mails as one of the like 50 lucky buyers at each store.
Those programs impart to have the perfect solution without needing luck. So I'm curious if this could really be worth a try...
