Nike Store Launches Twitter RSVP System
DO YALL THINK THIS IS GONNA WORK ? In an effort to fight against the madness brought on by certain sneaker releases, Nike has implemented a Twitter RSVP system aimed at bringing that type of hysteria to a stop. Nike has set up this new system with Nike stores across the United States. We have also heard that Nike has taken other measures such as banning midnight in-store releases and pre-orders. NIKE STORE LAUNCHES – TWITTER RSVP Twitter RSVP is used to help manage product launches at Nike Stores. Follow your local Nike Store on Twitterfor launch announcements and frequent updates. The Twitter RSVP Process: On the RSVP date, our store will send a tweet at a random time to begin our Twitter RSVP process, including a product specific hashtag (#tag). Once registration is open, you must Direct Message (”DM”) the store within 60 minutes. The DM must include: The product-specific #tag tweeted by the store The last 4 digits of your State/Passport/Military/School ID number Your shoe size (limit one). Confirmations from the store will be sent via DM to those who have successfully secured their requested size. Shoes will be awarded on a “first respond, first serve” basis. Confirmed recipients must pick up their product (in person w/ identification) from the store on the day of launch. Unclaimed product will be announced on Twitter and will be re-released at the store’s discretion. How do you properly RSVP through DM? Step 1: Make sure you are following the stoe Twitter account in order to send a DM. Note: Nike does not need to follow you because its Twitter accounts are verified Step 2: Watch for the store to send a RSVP tweet at a random time on the designated RSVP day. Example Tweet: Twitter #RSVP is now open for the Air Foamposite One.#Electrolime Step 3: you respond with a DM to the Nike store Twitter account. Example DM: #Electrolime, 4253, 10.5 [unique #tag], [last 4 digits of ID], [shoe size] (For more information about sending a DM, see the Twitter Help Center.) Twitter RSVP Terms and Conditions: One item allowed per person, even if you receive two confirmations of successful registrations. Abuse of this rule may result in denial of purchase or entry to future launches. Confirmed recipients must provide a valid ID that matches the last 4 digits used for RSVP. Size cannot be changed once it has been confirmed to a person through Twitter RSVP. Resell or trade of Twitter RSVP confirmation is prohibited. Twitter RSVP confirmation is not transferable and not redeemable for cash or for credit towards any purchase. Lines will not be allowed to form outside the store for this release. Launch process is always subject to change at any time at the discretion of Nike, Inc.

10 of the fastest super cars in the world
From the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to the famed McLaren F1, take a look at some of the fastest and most expensive super cars in the world. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport reached a Guinness World Records-certified top speed of 431 km/h or 268 mph. However, as Guinness notes, the cars shipped to customers are restricted to 258 mph — to protect the tires, which don’t hold up well at the higher speeds. The Veyron Super Sport has four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers; the 16-cylinder engine has a total of 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 lb.-ft. of torque. It is the fastest road car in production. The SSC Ultimate Aero held the previous Guinness record of 255.83 mph. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, depending on production details and foreign-exchange rates, will cost between $2.4 to $2.6 million. Hennessey Venom GT The Hennessey Venom GT goes from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds. If you want to go to 200 mph, it will take another 12.8 seconds. It has a 6.2-liter turbocharged V8 with 1,200 horsepower and a price tag of around $1 million. Hennessey Performance Engineering says it has a theoretical top speed of 275 mph, but it has been tested to a top speed of just 260 mph. Koenigsegg Agera R The Koenigsegg Agera R has been clocked at 260 mph and does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. The company, however, claims the 2013 model has a top speed of 273 mph. The Agera, available in left- or right-hand drive, has a Koenigsegg aluminum 5.0-liter V8 with 1,140 horsepower. The price for the 2013 model hasn’t been announced yet. Earlier versions went for about $1.6 million. Remember that the optional winter wheels and tires can add another $12,000 to the price. SSC Ultimate Aero The Ultimate Aero, made by SSC North America, AKA Shelby SuperCars, goes from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds and has a tested top speed of 257.4 mph. SSC says it has a projected top speed of 273 mph. It has a SSC-designed aluminum V8 engine with 1,287 horsepower. It has a ground clearance of just 4 inches but the price is a little taller, starting around $650,000. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is a two-door coupe with a 7.0-liter all-aluminum V8, designed by Steve Saleen. The car’s price tag in 2005 was $585,000. The Twin Turbo, with the later optional competition package, has 1,000 horsepower and goes 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. It’s been tested to a speed of 248 mph. Koenigsegg CCX Koenigsegg’s back, with the CCX. This car’s V8 with 806 horsepower will get up to 245 mph and only cost about $550,000. The predecessor of the Agera R debuted at the 2006 Geneva car show and was designed for the U.S. market. It was produced in Sweden from 2006 to 2010. McLaren F1 The McLaren F1 super car hit 240 mph and went from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds in its heyday. Only about 106 were produced between 1992 and 1998. It’s famed for its batwing doors and its 627 horsepower, V12 engine. Its base price was around $970,000. Shown here is a 1993 McLaren F1. Zenvo ST1 This is the first Danish-designed super car, offering a version for the U.S. market with a 7.0-liter BMW V8, 1,250 horsepower and a top speed of 233 mph. The base price is about $1.8 million. The company has said it will produce only three of these cars each year. It’s offered with several options, including a tool kit, a tailored car cover and a roll cage with four-point safety harness. Noble M600 The Noble M600 is a hand-built British super car that goes from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 225 mph. It has a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with up to 650 horsepower and the base prices is about $330,000. Gumpert Apollo The Gumpert Apollo debuted in 2005, designed to be a car that would be ready for both the street and the racetrack. It has a 4.2-liter V8 engine with a top speed of 225 mph. The designer, Roland Gumpert, says on the company website, “It has always been my dream to have a car with so much downforce, such aero-dynamic efficiency that you could drive on the roof of a tunnel at high speed. This car can do it.” The Gumpert Apollo hasn’t actually been tested upside down in a tunnel yet, though. Depending on the trim and options, the car runs about $300,000 to $450,000.
