Well, one has to hand it to the Nike Store Twitter account. They are listening to their customers.
Recently, one of Nike’s Twitter followers, @Est1991__ (one Charles Henderson), had made it a habit of commenting on Nike Tweets by mentioning “corks” and “Oreos.”

@nikestore not corks
— ShoeDealer (@Est1991__) May 14, 2015
The “cork” is a reference to the Nike Air Max 90 “Cork” that was released earlier this year. “Oreo” is referring to the Nike Flyknit Racer “Oreo 2.0.” Henderson stated that he would Tweet “not corks” and “not Oreos” to Nike whenever they released a shoe through Twitter to try and get them to release more pairs of both shoes.
“Every time Nike tweets out the release for a shoe, I tweet them ‘not Corks’ or ‘not Oreos’,” Henderson explained. “I missed out on the Corks, I didn’t get the Corks because they were kinda hard to get. I got the Oreo Racers.”
He even wondered what he could do to get gifts from Nike.
How special you have to be to get gifts from nike like shoes and stuff

And, likely due to his persistence, Nike listened and sent Henderson some corks and Oreos! No, not the shoes. Literal corks and literal Oreo cookies.
Thanks soooo much @nikestore pic.twitter.com/E7DfCteDn1
