Why do they need proxies for nike.com?

I actually have a friend of mine who keeps bugging me about finding him a damn SHOE BOT. I insisted there was no such thing, but I must be wrong?
If someone can point me in the direction of a shoe bot, that would be greatly appreciated.

those things definitely exist, i frequent /fa/ fashion board on fourchan and there's always a huge buzz when for instance there's a new Supreme drop, ppl use bots to buy pretty much everything in seconds and the best stuff get sold out in minutes, so it's not really enough to have the proxies, you'd need a bot too, if you really wanna turn a huge profit flipping the stuff on ebay
although i can't point you into the right direction for this shoe bot, but you can always hire somebody to make one for you/your friend, i think i've seen a thread recently where somebody was requesting one to be made in the hire a freelancer section

i'm a big sneakerhead. yes botting is big buisiness... at least it was. little companies that specialize in nike botting will charge for "rsvp" services that guarantees you the shoe so to speak. buying off of nike on certain jordan and quickstrike nike releases is impossible because botting has gotten so out of control. the general public cant even buy shoes anymore. its completely oversaturated the way it is, and thats people who are huge into hacking and backdooring... not any room for general non sneakerhead blackhatters. just saying. its a bad time right now... nike just cancelled the jordan 1 chicago's and then they turned around the next weekend and cancelled every release. all because of bots... they cancelled a release that has only dropped in 1985 and 1994. its literal insanity.
nike has cracked down in the last two weeks and started banning people who's cart ip's don't match their checkout ip. its all very complicated if you aren't familiar with the add to cart, checkout process.

for the people asking about nike bots... just know that this is the worst possible time to ask that question. its always a cat and mouse game, but the shoe bot world does not look very good at all right now. and thats good for the sneakerhead community. its about time nike got drastic. but rsvp sites are getting ready to close up shop and call it quits.
