This is how the release went down for me (I'm from EU). I had 7 different devices with 7 different IPs and a VM running a bot. Let's first talk about the bot... I had 75 proxies and 50 proxies were banned before the splash went live... the other 25 were working fine but the "fake HMAC" baited them to think that I've passed the splash and were also banned after a short while. My only chance left was to go manual. I was refreshing the page every 5-10 secs on all the devices and my iPhone entered the queue first. I immediatly refreshed on all other devices and nothing happened... after 7 secs and a few refreshes the other devices entered the queue too. I was waiting and waiting and the only device that passed the queue was my iPhone. Coincidence? Well after my iPhone passed the splash I've carted a US6 and used PayPal to checkout and it worked. I went back to the queue on my iPhone and passed the splash again after 10 secs! Tried to cart a few sizes and they were all unavailable so I've used the yzy.io stock checker that worked like a charm and saw that 1 US 10.5 was back in stock and carted it immediately. Went to PayPal with a different account and checked out. Done... 2 pairs manually on my iPhone! The same thing happened to me at the Oreo release too. iPhone was first in the queue and was the only device that passed the splash.
