Designer Leo Chang, best known for his work on the Nike KD line, is one of the top designers at the helm of the brand's basketball division, but that doesn't mean he has access to an unlimited supply of Nike sneakers. In fact, he says that he faces the same struggles as everyone else when it comes to copping hyped up Jordan releases.

"Outside the Nike Basketball stuff I still have to get a Jordan release or something the same way everyone else does... I'll get online and fight with all the bots," Chang said.

Word? Who would have thought that one of the top designers at Nike Basketball spends his Saturdays in the trenches with the bots?
