We’re making http://t.co/KGtR93W3hR better and will be closing down shop July 28 at 6pm PDT. Questions? Just ask.

Nike.com is shutting down today.
Don't worry, it will be back, but at 6 p.m. PDT, the site will close down so Nike can make some improvements to its online store. According to tweets sent out by @Nikestore, they plan to have things running again by July 29. The SNKRS app will also be unavailable during the downtime.
As with any time Nike makes an update to its online store, there's been speculation about this downtime being related to a fix fighting sneaker bots. But, Nike insists that that's not the case.
@keplerpatrick This is not Bot related. We're pausing due to previously scheduled http://t.co/KGtR93W3hR upgrades.

Unfortunately that probably means that there still won't be any retro Air Jordan launches on Nikestore for the time being.
