Me neither, it's like there's a link to the bands but the new ones don't show up. I'll keep checking-

If I scroll to the bottom of the Nike.com Apple watch page it shows each of the new bands for purchase however when I click on the link to the 42mm Indigo band it says "THE PRODUCT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE."
I wonder if they have already sold out their inventory?

Or maybe they just haven't populated the online store with product yet? Hard to tell what's going on with it.
Good to know, the site just seems a bit incomplete, as though they hadn't dropped yet
No! That sucks I'm sorry to hear that. I guess just because it's in your cart doesn't mean it's yours yet.
Okay, after some persistence it seems I finally got it.

Started at 1:05 Eastern time time trying to add the Indigo band to the checkout cart and was constantly denied. However the pop-up message said to keep trying so I did for another 10-15 times until it was added. Used PayPal to checkout which goes much faster and was able to purchase the band. This process was as bad as trying to buy concert tickets.
That's the same thing I did. Signed up for an account and used PayPal and finally got it to complete after many many tries
I don't own anything Nike other than my 38 mm space grey Nike Sport Watch I bought at Best Buy last week. I like the holey design very much. It took me through a grueling (freezing cold to boiling hot) hike very comfortably.
Is it customary for Nike to sell a product for one day only? I'm actually as interested in the shoes as I am the band, but could not find them on the site at all. I would have liked the lavender colored pairing. It looks like I could still get the dark blue band in my size but I already own a very dark Nike band so I was hoping to get a lighter color band.

I don't think this band will be like the Nike Labs cookies and cream one, where it's a limited run. Probably more a limited initial release that may have had a demand exceeding the current supply. But the band is supposed to be available both at Nike.com and later this month in Apple stores. I would expect to see more made available. Same for the shoes.

It doesn't look like they will be restocking the bands or the shoes.
That's bizarre. I've not heard any previous mention that it's limited. And they have said they'd be in Apple stores in early June.

I wonder if the Apple Stores have a separate allotment for their early June release? I also wonder if the customer rep really knows, or if that's just a canned response.
I remember when Staples said they had no plans to open stores in Colorado and now they are all over the place
That would be so lame if they don't sell any more after today. I didn't even imagine the shoes would be sold in such a limited manner.
A lot of my shoes came from places like Payless and Target and the few name brand ones are from outlets at steep discount. The genuine cowgirl boots I splurged on a few months ago fulfilled a dream I had my entire life. I may ask to be buried in them.
So I figured I'd give these fancy Nikes a try just this once and go matchy-matchy on the band. I liked the looks of the shoes and I wanted to see if they'd be nicer to walk in. I am bummed if I can't get them.
I wasn't holding out too much hope though because every time I've tried Nikes at the sporting goods store they hurt my feet like crazy. Which is why I have never owned any even though my husband swears by his Nike shoes. I try them and swear AT them.
But even my Nike wearing hubby didn't know Nike has these extremely limited release products. Neither of us ever looked forward to a shoe release before. It's all new to me.

Oh yes, Nike has limited releases all the time. People are literally murdered over them:

Anyway, I managed to order a 42mm orbit blue band despite Nike's dumpster fire of a web site. It actually shipped via UPS from Tennessee today, so I imagine I'll have it Monday or Tuesday.
Hey that's great! I hope you enjoy your new band. I ordered a black and yellow knock off from Amazon to see what they're like.
Oh I've heard of people robbed and killed for their shoes. I didn't realize it was because the shoes were hard to get, I always assumed it was because they were expensive and it was a sort of territorial thing, with thugs asserting you better not own something better than they had. That was the way it was when I lived among them.
Most of my life growing up, paying $30 for shoes was almost scandalous unless you were an office worker and had to "dress for success, then you might pay $90. Lol. That is the most my dad could ever bring himself to pay even now.
Even in the 80's and the era of designer clothes, obsessing over brands was something only the drug dealers who took over our neighborhood did. We ordinary folks didn't want to attract their notice so we ran around looking as poor as we were.
My husband grew up in a better area a few miles away so he always had brand names. He has always dressed nice and had nice professional haircuts. I have always cut my own hair and look like I dress out of a donation bag. People probably can't believe we live in the same house.
The funny thing is I know some millionaires and even a couple of billionaires now. One of the billionaires looks like he dresses out of the same donation bag I do. He would not know a thing about these Nikes either.
I've found out a lot of people who actually earned amazing amounts of money don't spend it on stuff you can see or even fancy homes. Basically they don't spend to impress. They spend it on friends and food and hobbies and actually do a lot for charity. The few nice things they do buy, they buy because they really like whatever it is, not to show off.
The kinds of people who shoot people over merchandise are just pathetic slaves to pop culture ideals and don't have any true sense of self and their own genuine likes and dislikes whatsoever.
Apple brings out a red iPhone mid-cycle to a ho-hum reaction (mostly). Nike ships some new colours and people go nuts over it! LOL. I don't have Nikes at the moment after I returned my Nike+ Watch, but bought the Sport Band. I'd go for the light Blue if it's available.
