MDen to hold midnight release party for Nike
There will be a midnight release at the MDen on Campus on August 1st. More details will come out soon, but expect it to be a PARTY atmosphere with festivities.

festivities!
They really need to do it in conjunction with a sports bar. Alcohol would definitely stimulate a lot of extra sales and upgrades. Enough alcohol and a hype environment could cause a lot of people who planned on buying one or two pieces to walk out with five or ten.
For those of us not in the area, will we be able to buy online at midnight?
And also, I can't imagine they're launching Nike sales without a full selection of football and hoops jerseys available for purchase, so I expect we see some designs revealed over the next couple of weeks.
On the page, they said they will be having sneak peaks on of gear later this month on their Twitter account.
The basketball gear likely won't be for sale until late September at the earliest. They'll reveal the uniforms but as far as selling the jerseys, it may not all be unloaded at once.

No, you can't buy until the Internet turns on in the morning

Now, I wonder what happens if the dude responsible for turning it on gets caught in traffic, especially on a day where a fair number of people will be anticipating making purchases of gear or something. I envision that he gets to work late, turns it on, and the surge in traffic causes the building to become engulfed in flames. The result will be chaos - worse, cash-only chaos since the card and chip readers will be down too.
If a tree falls in the internet and no one is there to see it fall, did it make a noise?
Maybe!
As long as they are blind but not deaf.
Gear won't be available online until 10am.

Thank you. 10am slam of the MDen server is now scheduled on my end

M-Den just tweeted out that you'll be able to buy Nike and Jordan gear online starting at 11:59 PM on 7/31.
Appreciate that update!
This brings me back to when fandomwank was a thing, and the story about the mods of a Twilight forum who would disable all posting at "night" forgetting that many of their users lived in vastly different timezones.
I've already had plans ready for this a week before they official announced it.

Christmas in July, WD!
Actually this will be pretty cool! Do we know yet if any Michigan former/current players will be there?
My birthday (21st) is actually 6 days before.
And you'll find out. I'm not gonna spoil anything. That's I waited for an announcement to post this thread.

with Stephen Schilling and Kellen Winslow Jr. Betcha didn't know that?
Wait...if you tell me the Schilling birthday is listed in your Super Guide....
I want a therma fit hoodie. Let us know when the sneak peek is please.
Nike UM cock sock, hopefully dry fit, Blue with Wolverines in maize down the pipe.
Me too. The Adidas version didn't seem to fit right...
didn't translate
You had to multiply your American size by 1.60934 to arrive at the Euro size.
Better to not fit right than to rip to shreds on game day.
Seriously, if Adidas launches its own brand of condoms, DON'T BUY ANY.
Adidas brand always appeared to be chewed on and tended to fall off.
Wait. What are we talking about again?
I can only wear the one with the maize U of M on it. You wouldn't be able to read wolverines if I wore that one.
I'm getting the one with only the block M on it.

Jeez I love Nike, but damn I won't be at midnight. I can wait an extra day.

No brainer...
That place will be a zoo at midnight.
There is also one of a Kangaroo knocking a kid in the water.
I'll look for it.
I can't wait to buy me some Nike gear...on August 1st around 5:30 pm from the comfort of my own home.

I plan on walking in the morning of the 1st after the dust settles.
The only time I go to stores at midnight is to stand in line for pappy in the fall I make my whole family stand at different stores so I can get them all. Why would I go to a Midnight release party for something I'll be able to get all year...
Agreed. I'm incredibly excited about this but some of this stuff is starting to get a bit out of hand. We all hate Adidas and being a part of the Jordan brand is killer, but a countdown clock to the moment when Michigan switches athletic brands and a midnight madness for buying new apparel is starting to push it for me.

But what is pappy, and why does one buy it at midnight?
Anyone know when what the adidas jersey are going for? I think they are currently half off. Maybe at art fair even more off?
I dont think WD will have any trouble pitching a tent for this
Good work. I'm pretty excited myself though... 50% wood at least.

Zero percent chance that a camping trip would go down with a green and white tent. Does Jordan make tents that look like a winged helmet? In that case, maybe.
Those few hours when you have Michigan gear that no one else has doesn't seem worth it.
Not about that for me personally. I've been waiting over a year for this.
I haven't bought any non-championship gear since January 2015. I'm starving.

It's a badge of honor to have it first. The grandkids will be proud someday.
