iOS / Android app from Nike. Basically the shoe section from Nike.com in app form with a fancy UI. Also lets you save all your shipping and payment info so it's pretty much one or two taps to buy a shoe. It's pretty nice overall. Lets you follow certain shoe lines so the feed is only stuff you want (like Jordans, running shoes, SB dunks, etc.).
I think it's supposed to combat bots? I could be wrong, but I've been able to cop every release I've wanted to from the SNKRS app. Whereas actual sites like footlocker or eastbay.com are usually sold out by the time their pages load. Never had any problem like that with the app.
thanks! is there one for adidas as well?
I don't believe so.
Would be nice if they did do one, though. Love the focus and overall design of the SNKRS app.
my man! thanks for the info!

One of the reasons why I like 1s so much. You can dress them up or down and it doesn't look too out of place.

These look decent for a shoe/colorway released every year. Can't beat the og but I wouldn't mind nabbing these on clearence one day

I can't mess with any mesh shoes. Once they get some sauce on 'em, they's done. lol. Need me some infrared air maxes tho. I sleep on them every year.

Normally i find jordan apparel rather lame, I think this shirt is sweet. Too bad i can't find it anywhere

I like looking at pictures of Foams but then I see them in person and touch them, look at that price tag and I just back away. I would probably pay resell for Dooms tho.
I'm mildly surprised that JB didn't hike up the price for those Premium Essential 1s. Only because they have the word premium in them.

yoooo these and the red olympics are fire
Thanks for this.
Looks like I'll try the SNKRs app next time I'm trying to get some shoes.

I like the blue ones. However, the jump man on the back ruins them for me. Will cop if they hit extreme clearance or something , though.

Not a fan of the colourway. Wish I had gotten the Wheats or Olives when they came out.

My metallic 5s just shipped today so looking forward to getting them in 2 days time.
I probably could've stopped by Niketown SF to see if they had them but preferred to spend my hour before going home to catch pokémon.

can't get into foams, I think they look goofy on foot
Whoa these are fiyah. When do they come out??
yoooo these and the red olympics are fire
It's all I use for Nike / Jordan drops now and I've yet to not get something.
When my alarm goes off on a release day, I reach over my wife to grab my phone, open the app, tap twice to purchase, and then go back to bed. That's it.
I didn't know the Raws were going to be so limited or else I wouldn't have waited so long to order. I can't find them in Men sizes anywhere online.
when I saw them on adidas.ca I was surprised they weren't sold out and seemed to be sitting
the black colour way is all sold out but I can still get that grey one in my size (7) so I'm just contemplating how much I like the colour
the beige ones are fire but I ain't seen them anywhere.
edit:
or should I get these? Damn, decisions
Don't fall for the hype.

What time do the new shoes go up for sale on the app?
LeroyPantwether

Already out on eBay..
haha, I can't help it. I don't mind the tongue. But the jumpman on the heel ruins it for me.
Usually it's 7 am for me in California, 10 eastern. And it's usually on a Saturday.
When you click on a shoe in the app it'll tell the date and time it's launching and you can have it send you phone alerts 15 minutes before the drop.

the red ones are pretty sweet as well!
Not sure I understand the quote. Both pairs are for sure available right now ( if you are indeed referring the the release date in the ad)?
yep pretty excited for these

That orange/tan color way is dope but I get uncomfortable Keen shoe-sandal flashbacks. I've been terrorized by those in the past 😫

So these Nike Air Zoom Chalapukas are launching on Thursday and are £165. Guess I won't be getting them after all.

Ruined my cyber Monday's dying the outer sole black. Guess they're beaters now.

What I'm quickly learning about air jordans is that I only like the 1, 5, 10, 11 and 12. The 5 is probably my favorite.
The 31 looks good, though I -really- wish the jumpman wasn't so obnoxiously large.
I thought about getting a pair of those navy blue uncaged UB but I realized I could get a pair of olympic uptempos for $10 more.

Pretty much the same here. i will only buy ones and fours from here on out.
Jordan 5, 6 and 11 for me. The only J4s I'd ever get are the red toros.
And no more white shoes for me...ever.
