Nike SNKRS: Sneaker Release 4+

It used to be a great way to get superb collabs, limited drops etc. About 4 years ago - when flipping trainers became a job in itself it became oversubscribed. Nike hyped it up, made some serious mis-steps (Flyease-Go anyone?) and now it’s just full of bots and multiple accounts - but there are signs the ‘hype’ is slowing down, the old adage stands, just buy what you love, not what you think will flip - and combined with the other Nike app you’ll build a lovely collection.

BUT the app is great, the live shows are brilliant and things like the Patta ‘The Wave’ films are brilliant + ‘Exclusive Access’ and if you’re in London the SNKRS Pass is another shot at copping what you want. Raffles are clearly random - but some annoying stories of people copping well before the time is up - I got the AJ1 Dark Mocha at 3mins in. So it can be ‘gamed’ at Nikes’ end. But if your philosophical and take every L as a way to save money not spend it, it won’t drive you too mad. Good luck.

Firstly I want to start by mentioning the app has been very temperamental recently, it frequently crashes straight after opening it, it seems to take forever to refresh the screen…… “pulling the latest”
The colour theme keeps changing from light to dark by itself, I change it back and within an hour it’s reset again! Tried deleting & reinstalling the app but still the same.
Other than that it’s been a decent 3 years, admittedly the first year or so I won nothing much but all in all I’ve had a total of 10 W’s on raffles entered, 1 normal purchase from items that were already in stock, 4 Exclusive access’s - rubber dunks - j6 Carmine - j1 hyper royal - j4 unc
Not sure if it makes a difference to my chances on SNKRS but I also use the normal Nike app too to make regular clothing & shoe purchases so maybe that helps?
My Mrs has had the app for about the same length of time except for her she had closer to 20 W’s the best of which being the Chicago Dunks but she’s had Zero Exclusive access’s!

I have been a Nike member for years but it wasn’t until about 3 years ago that I started to collect Sneakers seriously. I played basketball at a high level and have been a lover of the game since high school.
The SNKRS app can be frustrating to try and win those drops only to be told that you have not been selected, I know I’ve had plenty. My best run was 5 drops in a row which happened over the last 2 weeks, all I can say is don’t give up and keep trying.
Turn on all your notifications and enter everything, if you win and you don’t like them, just return them or sell them, that way you don’t lose.
Good luck everyone!
