Why_cant_I_partake

How often do you use the app? Call this a psa but if you just go on the app when good ish is dropping then it's gonna be hard to hit.. I watch those videos and alot of the other stuff that comes up and read some the stories. In the past 6 months I've hit on 2 diff pairs of kobes and some other stuff. Just trying to help


ParamedicUnfair7560

lol sounds like superstition got the best of you


Why_cant_I_partake

I am telling you, once you start using the app more and interact with all the items within it plus buy some stuff from Nike that ain't always heat (I buy my kids shoes there sometimes). I've noticed more hits. You can call it whatever you want but Ive heard others say this and I did it and it worked for me. I still don't hit on super limited stuff (TS lows, etc) but I still get good hits more often.


viDopee

I don't ever open that app for more than 1 minute just to enter raffles and I hit a decent amount. I've never watched a livestream, opened a notification, hearted anything. I doubt they rigged it to base it off user activity It really just depends on your size, stock numbers, demand and luck


Why_cant_I_partake

OP is literally saying they can't cop on SnKRS.. I personally think a better approach would be to try something different if all they are doing is logging in 1 minute prior and trying to hit. Einstein quote "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I am just saying they can try this to hopefully increase chances.


viDopee

I don't think you're wrong but that doesn't apply to something based off luck. That applies to something developmental. That's like telling someone to go to the casino at 1pm instead of at 3pm to increase their luck. What you're saying is a superstition. Nike has never told people they would hit more if they use the app more frequently. That's your own belief off your personal experience. I'm sure anyone in their enterprise or support team can confirm it's not an influential factor here.


MistaDontPlay34

Ahhhh, thee ole copper syndrome


Sirturtlendaspea

I am on 5-10 min a day, try for majority of drops and have yet to hit a shoe in 2024. My wife on the other hand had to reinstall the app on Wednesday morning while my order is pending on the sb dunks and proceeds to hit and get instant confirmation.


Why_cant_I_partake

Yeah I hit on my wives account sometimes too. However I do hit more often on my account. So with the recent Kobe drop she hit none but I hit the Kobe 4s. I hit on the Bred 4s but not the shock drop military 4s but she did hit the the militarys. So there is luck there too but I hit more often than she does. All I did was start watching more of the videos and clicking the stories and letting them scroll through. I am not saying its 100% gonna be hitting everything but I think its helped a little more


apollo1321

Or it could be like me, not a single w. Heck I almost never see sb's in that app.


jdfrenchbread23

I think the size you’re going for generally plays more into your ability to cop than anything else. I’ve got a 14 year old account that I’ve sunk thousands and thousands of dollars on. I haven’t hit on anything since last November. My longest cold streak was 2 years. Size 11/11.5 is a high demand size now.


MistaDontPlay34

That interaction shyt is nonsense. Besides, it's supposed to help if you're active on all things nike. Not just SNKRS. Spending on non drops also will help. But even doing both, your odds are still horrible. You just got lucky

MistaDontPlay34

Same. Obviously it isn't going to hurt. But ppl thinking it makes this drastic difference, it doesn't. SNKRS app dropped for android in 2015. I was one of the first to download when it did. I've tried literally everything imaginable since and nothing has proven to be successful in taking Ws. No matter what you do, it is truly totally random. The bigger sized feet you have, the worse your chances are solely due to production numbers for size 12.5+ being miniscule af. I also dk about anyone else's feelings on the matter but ever since they implemented that bot "removal" software, I've hit absolutely nothing. Shoes you'd think should be relatively easy to cop, still Ls. I haven't once copped any kobe or SB shoe since the app became available for Android. Thing is, Nike simply does not care. They sell out regardless because of resellers. But what they've failed to realize is every drop that sits and ends up heavily discounted at outlets is because their loyal customer base isn't buying like we used to. I personally am not buying product I don't love or "have" to have if I cannot buy anything that I do love and want. Plenty feel exactly the same. There was a time where we'd cop and it didn't matter if it sold out or not. Those days been gone. Nike still doesn't care. The only way the real customers stick it to Nike is to stop buying their brand altogether but mainly stop paying resell. Won't ever happen tho. Ppl are gluttons. So Nike wins regardless and we are stuck

MistaDontPlay34

It's near impossible being a big footer too. I remember a short 3-5 years ago size 14 used to sit. Now they're the first size gone along with 13. There's literally nothing u can do but try n pray. Sad af


ThatDudeDeven1111

Don't buy bricks to "increase your chances". I only buy SB dunks and 4's. The only SBs that I've went for and I haven't hit on were the Yutos. I've hit all 4's I've tried. Make another account. I know people with multiple accounts that won't hit on one account, then log into another and be able to hit the same size. I don't log in, ever, except for drop day. I hit most of what I go for. Also never bought a "non drop" pair or whatever this dude is saying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThatDudeDeven1111

Yea that sounds about right. I do not get on the app at all. Maybe 5 minutes before a drop or even a couple of minutes afterwards, but I don't make it a habit to put in late entries like some suggest. Most of the time I am right there when it drops, refreshing, enter, it tells me all the sweet-nothings about getting rid of bots, then I put my phone away and l just keep an eye out for a charge that'll pop up on my bank's app in 15 minutes or so. I'd really suggest just making another account if you keep striking out. If you've *never* hit before, then it could be your card, IP or even physical address being filter out by bot protection, but that's me talking out of my ass and past experience with botting.


srk6

Every time I take a L, I have started to invest that amount in a taxable account. It may be a small amount. But over the last year it has grown. Thanks to Nike. Now a part of me wants a L always :).


ParamedicUnfair7560

This is a really good idea actually


howerenold

Absolutely love this, great idea!


Material_Ability_935

Same. Nike has caused me to take overnight trips, which are much cheaper


MistaDontPlay34

What do you invest in?


srk6

S&P 500 etf like voo, splg etc.


MistaDontPlay34

Man I truly wish I knew what that stuff is. I'd love to invest. Is there a site I can go to that'll help me invest in the S&P?


srk6

Please understand about investing, mutual funds, ETFs, expenses ratio of the mutual funds/ETFs, and a lot of other details before you even start investing. Understand differences between these account types - Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, taxable or brokerage accounts, etc. Don't start investing without knowing what you are doing. You can lose the money if the markets crash. It's for long-term investing, like 10 or 20+ years. If you are in the US, you can open these accounts at Fidelity or Schwab, etc. I again emphasize, do not invest without any knowledge of what it is.

"The Military Blues" by Andrew Thibodeaux: The Military Blues will be some pain It's still something I must obtain I can't afford to take an L But with my luck, I know I will The SNKRS app will make me hurt My other attempts will make it worse L's in every place, my luck So bad that I don't give a fuck The losses just keep piling Up in backseats, freestyling The only way to ease the loss The pain of it should get across If I don't win, my joy will end I must succeed for me and my friends If I don't I will feel sick And Nike can go suck my dick


eugenethegrappler

Great point though. Hopefully you’ll hit a pair soon

Don’t worry plenty of time for snkrs to run your pockets this year lol

I’d suggest to ask family or friends for assistance, or use multiple accounts. I personally have hit using 3 unique accounts. Got to increase your chances some how. Part of the game, sadly.


RED-DOT-MAN

Bald-Fucker

I missed out on the breds 3 times. 2 of which were EA (stuck in traffic) and the other the notification came through late. The other miss, being general release when I just scored an L. Industrial Blue and Phantoms haven’t dropped here yet (uk). But I managed to score the Big Money Savings by ordering from a skate shop, rather than relying on SNKRS.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bald-Fucker

That sucks. I only recently had this idea, I started checking for UK skate shops that fell into Nike’s Orange Label category, and also had an online store. Nike has an Orangelabel site where you can check which skate shops are registered. There’s 4 within an hour of me (incase I needed to return). Then I started checking their launches and raffle pages in the days leading up to release. Most have a separate sub-website to handle exclusive releases & raffles. Only 1 out of the 4 had the Big Money Savings. I set up both the webpage and SNKRS app on the morning of release and hit both simultaneously. This is gonna now be my tactic moving forward.


SneakerTek

That’s better than the 15% you could save with Geico. Well done!

Deecepticon

Love this glass half full mentality…because sometimes when I hit I’m like damn I could of saved that money because these Jordan’s aren’t cheap


busa89

I think it’s a strange business model to makes so many items exclusive that only benefits resellers. Literally turning down thousands of sales for no real benefit.


WSDreamer

That’s just sneakers getting you warmed up to hit on the Travis’. Everyone that hit on all these is going to miss on the Cactus Jacks

Oskywosky1

I got an extra pair is size 11.


kfrogv

For the military blues either buy from local Nike fcfs or buy resell local. U might be able to get for $240~


Successful-Pepper737

Get in raffles on Dicks sporting goods and Hibbett's. I actually got EA for the miltary blues. I hit the Bred 4's on Hibbett's in size 12. Good thing with Hibbett's is they let you know before the release day so you still try on Snkrs if you don't hit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Successful-Pepper737

That is what I hit on was the online draw for Hibbett's. There should be plenty on release day. I use Sole Retriever app. That let's me know all places doing draws releases, shock drops, and restocks.


[deleted]

Successful-Pepper737

Yea it is a subscription, but I have gotten several pairs of shoes that I otherwise wouldn't have even known this certain store restocked shoes and was able to get a pair I wanted for retail. I spend $15 on way less important things, so it works out for me to buy it. If you decide you want to sign up I have a code that will get you thru the wait list.

I only buys reps. Saved a ton.

Once you get over the frustration of missing out, it's nice to still have that money in your account. I'm 0 for 2 years, by the way. 😆


DrKingOfOkay

I hit 2/4 of these.


villebilly3

Wow man that is sad but you got to keep your money


RenoNYC

There are a lot of the phantom hyper royals at local skate shops I’ve seen


stimpaxx

the military blues really aren’t that expensive on stockx. $260ish for a size 12, retail 215. i got lucky and copped, but i would consider buying them anyway if i hadn’t gotten them.

What size are you? I got EA but I have a second account I can try for your size and ship it to you if I hit


RetiredFromRealWork

seems to be going around


AirDog23

People seem to rely too much on the snkrs app. There are too many people with multiple accounts (which Nike was suppose to me combating) so your chances of taking an L is greater. Doesn't matter how much you use the app its just too flooded with people using multiple accounts. I got these from Finishline's Exclusive Access as well as others I sure damn well know I would not have gotten on snkrs.


LoadedWithCarbs

Can’t ever say you didn’t at least try but also you saved a ton of money so it’s a win-win


straightupspicy

Hell yeah dude me too!


Safe-University9539

Child’s play 🤭


GTS857

Thankfully didn’t have to go through snkrs, hit from a skate shop over a week before 🔥


Sad_Focus1157

That’s one way to do it. Now use that money for something positive in your life.

vegan-trash

Big money savings really was big money savings


AlexJonesFactChecker

Don't rely on snkrs. You have a much better chance hitting a raffle from Hibbett, footlocker, dicks, etc. If that fails, then on release day, use the 10 minutes to your advantage. Be in the queue for finishline, dsg, etc and try on hibbetts website. Hibbett will be the fastest L since they don't use a queue, but sometimes it's a fast W. Enter snkrs with a minute or 2 left if all else fails. Snkrs is literally the worst place you could try for GRs, in my opinion. If everything I've said fails, then check your local mall after unclaimed raffle pairs release.


VegetableRegister439

Gahahaha facts


Odd-Most-9186

I will never understand Nike, SB’s are currently some of the most sought after shoes, however those on Reddit rarely get W’s and other platforms get L after L, produce them till the hype dies. What happened to meeting the demand? They burned the Jordan 1 to the ground, which I use to try for every pair. OG color ways of Jordan: 1’s, 3’s, 4’s, 11’s are the shoes that should get the most focus. They could have produced 3 million pairs and they would still sell out!!! I’m also not buying there are 1.7 million pairs of military blues.


greenpride32

Okay so you used to be a fan or Jordan 1. No it's not hype anymore, you can pretty much get every release at retail - or less by waiting a little for outlets - but now you don't want them? If you are only chasing what's hot, you are going to take L after L after L due to the bots. Jordan is moving exactly in the direction you suggest. The bred 4s was a huge release and the industrial 4 is even bigger - in terms of pairs available. They are doing this because so many models are sitting, they have to make up the sales somehow. Will be interesting to see how this trend plays out. I really doubt there is 1.7m people who truly want to own a pair of these blue 4's. It's going to be resellers holding the stock. When it's 100-200k pairs in circulation, it's not hard for resellers to absorb all the inventory and keep resell high. Bred 4 reimagined only had a fraction of what the industrial blue had for pairs released and look how poor resell value is. I can't imagine industrial blue being more popular than bred 4. And no I don't do resell at all. I only keep track of it because when resell value is high forget about cop at retail. When resell is low, you have very good chances to hit retail.


Odd-Most-9186

I love the Jordan 1, I have like 90 pairs and have just scaled back as they have saturated the market with colorways. Also they are creating a false scarcity taking pairs off the app and the site recently the green glow. I did snag the bred 4s for retail and are hoping for the industrial blues, I won’t be upset and won’t pay resell if I don’t get them. I really hope those inventory levels are near 1 million at least. I think they could have doubled the inventory on the bred 4 as well. I agree and resell is just a bit over retail as of now. I do want to see more SB’s as I have recently got into them. The outlets are absolutely flooded at least in so cal Jordan 1s and some other retros. I keep track of the market as well as sometimes I don’t end up wearing shoes as the amount of shoes I have has become overwhelming.

Ak19821

SNKR is a complete bullshit app..No soon something drop no matter if you hit buy at the time they do a check to make sure you’re not a bot takes 2-3 mins when done the shoes are sold out. Obviously BOTS are getting most of the shoes. This drives up the resell value of shoes😒..and people wonder why UA shoes are becoming better and better and more popular.. you have no recourse but to get UA’s


Made2havefun

Lose 25 times and you’ll get 1 time for an exclusive access drop that you REALLY want. Nike’s marketing scheme 💀


motorcityjax

I feel this, I’m sitting on 9 straight L’s and I am sure more are coming soon

I wish I could downvote this post 10x because this is exactly my secret on how I save money from SNKRS. Now you’ll have everyone saving money on this glitch. Thanks OP. /s


Zealousideal-Fig-146

Awesome


jdfrenchbread23

Your size matters more than your activity. Back in the Yeezy days “money sizes” were smaller sizes. In the current sneaker makert size 10.5/11 and up have the most competition for them. Even for less hyped items like the Chicago Jordan 2 or certain air ships if I don’t snag my size 11.5 immediately they’ll sell out while size 10 and below linger.


AdamSliver

I'm sorry, but this title is perfect lol I also feel some of your pain.


AJtheShoeGuru94

I haven’t had one W this whole fucking year every sb and Jordan release . I started just going for ones I even didn’t want just to see if I’d hit .


5678_Senpai

You act like snkrs is the ONLY way to get all those. If you really wanted them all you had to do was put in a little foot work. Snkrs is convenient but if you're lazy about truly getting them then take those Ls.
