Many claim streetwear and sneakers are hotter than they’ve ever been, but to those who’ve always had interest, it’s not hotter, it’s just more people involved trying to flip the products. For years now, we’ve heard about how hard it is to get highly-coveted products due to bots. Some consumers have even revealed they’ve never won anything they wanted to buy direct from product websites and are forced to buy resale on sites like StockX and GOAT.
As bots continue to dominate, more companies are investing in anti-bot protection. Concepts have always been applauded for how they handle releases, sometimes releasing items on new websites that bots have a harder time attacking.
Today, Salehe Bembury released his highly anticipated Pollex Crocs and the release was triggering for everyone going after a pair. From the look of social media, no one secured a pair and all the products went to bots.

Of course, Salehe did his best to keep bots away, but at the end of the day, it’s not much he can do, and honestly, it’s not even his job to be fighting bots. However, social media doesn’t care who’s fault or job it is and had a meltdown on our timelines.
Let’s take a look at some of the chaos that ensued. Click after the jump for even more bot-caused breakdowns.

The Salehe Bembury Crocs drop has been a hot mess all morning. How is it sold out as soon as the site "pre-sale" link launches? and then the Crocs site form doesn't even work. Verification codes laggy.
Not even a dig to the designer. I'm looking at you @Crocs pic.twitter.com/aqGVXctcxs

The fact that the Salehe Bembury Crocs are already on stockx for $1,000… Y'all can really kiss my ass. 🙄
We can't enjoy or have ANYTHING anymore, without people hoarding and hiking up the price.
YALL ARE ANNOYING.
