Nike gear is live

I might as well just drive 2 hours to the MDen and buy in store. But I'm not that desperate.

They keep tweeting that they have plenty of product. I keep laughing, because they also thought they were prepared for the website traffic. I'm fully expecting to be waiting for my order the week before the opener now. What a joke!

There are times when not giving a shit about something definitely has its advantadges.  This would definitely qualify as one of the those times it would seem.

MDen will work better once all of WD's accounts buy all the stuff they want.

Not a fan of the stuff with the logos so prominent, but I guess they're catering to the Nike fanboys.

Hopefully they reserve the jumpman to basketball apparel only in a few years. Just looks odd on most of the shirts.

I went to MDen early this morning.  The product is very nice.  Several different types of dri-fit are available.  The zip-ups are incredibly soft and comfortable.  The polos and t-shirts fit well and aren't hugely bloated/wide like a lot of clothing.  I highly recommend.  

And Harambe (obvi).

Just call the 800 number that was previously posted.  I placed an order over the phone, it took less than 5 minutes. Wasn't put on hold at all and it was a lot easier and less frustrating than trying it over the website.

Update: able to put everything in the cart I want with multiple refreshes, but it won't let me check out. Keeps saying that I must supply a first name on the shipping address. Never mind the fact that I've done this 15 times. If it weren't for the fact that I've been stockpiling MDen gift cards from relatives for a year, I'd be taking my business elsewhere whenever it's available.

I cannot find the Nike shoes anywhere on Mden.com ?

 

when do they come online ?

Too bad the Jumpman couldn't be replaced by Desmond's Heisman symbol - that looks sweet!

So internet commerce is advanced enough that even grade schoolers can set up an AWS account and scale across servers.  Even as a temporary platform, MDen should have moved from whatever second rate outfit hosts thier stuff to a platform that can actually handle scale.  CloudFlare evens out bumps, it doesn't fix anything when the backend isn't robust enough...

I get that a small store has no 'IT Dept' to do this stuff.  But you would think that the UM Ath Dept - which solely authorizes the MDen as its business partner - might have thrown a little expertise thier way to make sure things stayed alive.

I'll echo everyone else, just call... I put the items I wanted in my shopping cart (which took forever) then gave them item numbers when I called. Off phone in less than 3 minutes and no hold.

10am and still getting error message when I touched on a category, after loading the MDen page successfully.

i wanna see the shoes, i want those desmond howard white shoes with the pose, and other shoes, besides the coaches shirt and hat and a basketball t shirt and the sandals i want.

 

anybody who has pics or link to the shoes can you psot them.

 

Thank you and GO BLUE

 

 

My gals picking me up a Harbaugh hat to bring back to me. I'm good. She's good.

Nike officially has the Michigan stuff if you're getting impatient with Mden.

I just read Angelique's article on the launch, and WD was NOT the first person in line.

Got on at 12:20AM I just looked to see the prices and stuff 10 pages loaded just fine no issues was just looking didn't click on the items.
