Sneaker Drops

Hey all, so I usually manage to get alot of Nike drops, as I have credit cards and houses for 3 different countries, so 3 times the chance to score a pair. Today was the Yeezy 500 drop, and iv never went for a drop on the adidas website. So im sitting on the page and the countdown is happening, and it goes 03 02 01 then in the same sequence one second later it says sold out. It didnt refresh for my shoe size, to hit purchase nothing. So confused how anyone can get a pair if the page doesnt even load to show sizes, etc. With nike your quick and submit your size and payment and see if you were quick enough, this adidas drop literally went within 1 second from -01 countdown to sold out.

Sorry for the story, but just curious as is this something that happens to everyone? If so its very different and not a very good system in place at all, especially compared to how the nike drops function. If I didnt even see sizes or a button to hit purchase, are bots getting the drops before they even actually drop?? Let me know all yalls thoughts. crazyy.
