As the supply always outweighs demand, Nowhere sell the shoes on a raffle system. The practice of raffles has been in place in Ireland since 2015 (when the arrival of Yeezy almost single-handedly enforced the change).
While it stops people having to queue overnight in the cold for an opportunity to part with their hard-earned money, it does add another obstacle to getting your hands on what you desire.
Although it's probably better than a night out in the cold to be fair.
You apply to be in the raffle, you give your shoe size and your name. If you're picked out, you can enter the store and buy the shoes.
For most people at these events, it's not about trying to buy and sell on the shoes to make money.
They want these pieces of style for themselves and rather than sell for profit, if they do sell, it's usually to buy other sneakers and so the cycle continues.
The below video, created by Darren Rice, will give you a good insight into the excitement on the day.

The multicoloured corduroy sneaker that is The Sean Wotherspoon x Nike Air Max 97/1 is said to be inspired by vintage caps from the ’80s and is one of the most-hyped Air Max models of 2018.
Speaking on the design, Wotherspoon said: "The Air Max 97 has always been one of my favourite shoes. I love the 360 sole and gradient possibilities for the upper. It made sense to pair it with the Air Max 1 sole and the bubble of the ‘Infrared’ Air Max 90."
All we know is, he's created a small piece of hysteria in Ireland.
