Leave a Review Nike SNKRS
Great app… not perfect.
Really enjoy this app. I’ve become a sneaker head and love it when new sneakers dropping. I’m always checking the “upcoming” option to make sure I don’t miss any drops that I would want. Just having the chance to get some new sneakers feels amazing. There’s a few things that the company might want to look into. Like checking for bots, there should be like a questionnaire before you are allowed to buy some shoes. I believe a lot of bots are getting through for not having any questions to combat against the bots. Also would like to have a few more payment options like pay later options. SNKRS is still getting their money at the end of it, it’s the company that does the pay later that will take the hit at the end of it all if customers don’t pay. But I feel like a lot of people wouldn’t mind paying $25-$40 every two weeks rather than having to fork over $130-$230 up front. Also I don’t remember how the whole shock drop works because I don’t really remember having any notifications come from the SNKRS app. I will usually get a notification from another app I use that tells me when shock drops come. I have missed out on a few sneakers before I started using the new sneaker app. Again this is a great app for long living sneaker heads or brand new ones, make sure you keep clicking on that “upcoming” feature for new and upcoming drops.Show lessSIMENTAL87
Love or Don’t… But I’m here for it
Sneakers are part of my culture and if you don’t understand that, then you just don’t get it. I do appreciate the app being available a couple things that I would love to see is their calendar dates in there if that’s something that could be linked to our Apple Google, whatever calendar so that we get reminders in our calendar that would be great too. I think that would be a good advancement for the app where it could be out from the app to our calendars if people want it and then if you could add a session in there with people can like drop some of their fits and not just on social media but for those people who may not use them for our old heads who are not big on social media but are definitely sneaker lovers and use the app frequently if you had a place where we couldsome of our positive sneaker feedback or whatever that would be a great place to showcase that really did love the treasure hunt and stuff like that. I hope that comes back.Show lessAuna Monae
Bots & large scale advantages taking away from the average consumer and loyal customers
I’ve been a lifer to Nike. 30+ yrs since I was a kid. We use to wait in line all day to get sneakers (new releases) and one per customer. The days of brick and mortar are long gone and I’ve seen outlets allowing vans come in of people who buy thousands worth of sneakers and drive away only to resell them on canal street or Jamaica Ave NY for profit. Taking away the average consumers ability to purchase a new pair for their kids for school or sports. Now with online shopping the SNKRs app use to be a place where you could do that and speed the process. Now you can log on at 9:59 with your finger on the trigger to buy the latest Jordan’s only at 10:00 & 2 seconds to miss out on them because somehow they’re all gone. Poof like a David Blaine show! The same groups of people who drive to outlets in vans somehow steal them all before anyone get a chance then sell them for profit on sites like Kix or Goat. It’s diminished the experience and made for a negative perception by us loyal Nike supporters who got the company where it is today but raining loyal to the brand. Something should be done about this and fight the latest “Ticketmaster “ 3rd party purchase flaw that’s replicated to the sneaker world. The app is great, but this all stinks and leaves a spurt taste in my mouthShow lessmike pensa
No chance
The amount of times I tried for certain shoes and don’t get it is a disgrace. Out of 15 shoes that I tried to get I got 0. There should be a thing that if people ONLY go for the heaters, drawings and shock drop heaters they should be put last. Should put people who actually bought other types of shoes then heaters first up since they don’t ALWAYS go for the hot shoes. Just tried for the 4’s and guess what? Of course sold out in my size like ALL the other times. I mean I know other people got the same size but I’ve never gotten a pair that was heater. Always gotta get it from a resellers that ups the price. Feel like it’s just a waste of time to even try to get good shoes on this app unless you actually use bots. They say it’s all luck I guess I ain’t got none.. ever. Better off spending hundreds more at the reseller then to try on this app cuz this app will break your hopes. Probably gonna try on release day but again I doubt I’ll get it like all the others. Do what you want with this information just thought I share some honest review from someone that doesn’t use bots. Maybe others are more lucky then me. Do better SNKRS!!Show lessNoChance808
Been in the sneaker game since pushing carts
I usually don’t write reviews but talking about being unsatisfied. I entered the raffle on the Sneakers app for the Kobe grinches. I entered the raffle all the time and never have any type of work this time. I actually hit, but made a mistake with my shipping address and could not get anything fixed and their solution is just to tell me to cancel the order and I basically just miss out on the Shoe. I was bounced around since Friday the 15th when I realize I first try to get it taken care of ASAP and no one could help me then I reached out to your company UPS that they have partnership with and nobody could help me there. I live in Georgia now the shoe is being shipped to Florida. I asked if they could hold it at a location. I asked if I could change my shipping address nothing can be done. All I can do is miss out on the shoe now. I don’t see how that is fair, this really has me second-guessing if I want to keep spending the money I spend with Nike to be treated in such a way! I hope they actually get to see this because I’m sure other people have had problems before similar to this and the fact that they don’t have a direct customer service to where I can speak with. It’s strictly just a Nike representative, which tells me she’s going to check the website and I explained to her it’s on the SNKRS app . She said there’s nothing that she can do about that. Really frustrated.Show lessjaat201017
SNKRS
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but it's definitely better than paying inflated resale prices. Personally, I've never had any luck with Dunks; it feels more like playing a rigged game. The sneaker resale market and bots have completely ruined the excitement of sneaker releases, so you have to take the good with the bad. Overall, this app does exactly what it's designed to do: create hype around limited edition shoes with less than a 5% chance of actually getting them, so that you keep coming back for more. It's a clever business strategy that keeps you hooked and sells you hope instead of actual products. And it works perfectly because despite all the complaints about not hitting, we all still come back for that rush of success or the disappointment of "it didn't work out this time." My advice is to use the app as if the drops don't really matter, that way it won't be as painful. If you happen to win, great. But if you don't, it's not a big deal because deep down, you probably wasn’t gonna hit one them anyway. Sorry for the lengthy review, I just wanted to share my two cents.Show less!Just a normal guy!
Good Luck
If anyone new is downloading the SNKRS app with the hopes of hitting on a draw or scoring your size for a high demand sneaker, just know it’s not going to happen. I collect and display Jordan’s and 8 months in I am 0-15 on any of the shoes I’ve attempted. I’ve bought 4 pairs for my sister and daughter through app and Nike store purchases, but was only to score two different Jordan 3’s and one Jordan 4 with the help of Dicks Sporting goods through in store reservations. People online and workers through the Nike app will tell you all kinds of tips and tricks to help your chances but no matter what you do the reality is that it won’t help you unless it’s a shoe that won’t sell out or your size doesn’t happen to be as in demand. It’s a ploy for you to use their app more and more with the hope being you will hit one day on a drop. You’re better off knowing that’s not how it will work so don’t have high hope. All resellers or people using bots will continuously win while you lose. Just know that. Try to score big drops through Dicks when they have them because I’m 3 for 3 using Dicks.Show lessgracie0714
Good luck winning anything
You could wait all day by your phone with this app opened and you staring at it nonstop for a shoe drop, and still won’t get a pair of shoes. Instead of Nike doing something logical like sending out tokens or coupons as a raffle for the shoe they make you get in line behind all the bots and all the other fake accounts that get 20 pairs of shoes for some reason. After all that when there is a glimmer of hope and your about to submit. It gives you a error either a financial error or some kind of random error. This error then throws you farther back in the line so it’s almost impossible to get shoes. So you’re sitting there trying to get a pairs of shoes, with all these errors popping up, using the same exact information that the Nike app has used in the past only to finally get the “sold out” greyed out button.
Do yourself a favor Nike, just have a raffle that cross checks every bit of information that a user inputs. If 4 pairs of the same shoe size are going to the same house maybe that person used a purchasing bot. Or here’s another idea, verify all of your Nike accounts and have them submit photo identification to validate their identities, and then do a raffle. Adidas had a better system!Show lessSwizz1991
One of few “fair” online sites anymore!!
I am a hobbyist at heart, and collect numerous rare, hard to find items…including Nike (mostly Jordans, but there are some others, like the Air Max Pennys that I like a lot). I can count on one hand how many “collectible” sites have a fair way for everyone to have a chance to buy at retail, and to top it off, they reward you with early access based on your purchases, site activity, etc. No, I do not work for Nike, nor have a EVER received anything “free” from them…and I don’t write reviews very often either. Bots have destroyed multiple hobbies, and have wreaked havoc on a lot of other markets (PlayStation, Xbox, you name it) as well, making it even harder in an already “weak” economy for average people to even get a chance. Don’t get me wrong…I’ve taken as many “L” as anyone else…but at least I had a chance to try…and I’ve received a few exclusive access opportunities, to include the off-white 50’s…so from someone who has the worst luck in the world, and never wins, don’t let an “L” (or multiple) discourage you from continuing to try…seeing “Got ‘em!” Pop up On your phone is an amazing feeling 🙌Show lessTHE DJ NEO
Are you enjoying SNKRS???
That’s a rhetorical question, of course no one is enjoying it. The reason why is the approach of “direct to consumer” is a failure. The shoe buying experience is no more, no more mom and pop shops. Now I’m supposed to get in virtual line for shoes?? Don’t even try when it’s a “limited” hyped shoe. You’re just gonna get error after error on App when trying to checkout bc you’ve allowed bots and individuals to corner your site. So in turn, regular people like myself who would wear the shoe can NEVER, NEVER get a pair. I refuse to pay a 16yr old triple the price for a pair aftermarket. There has to be better ways of monitoring who’s placing orders. Don’t you have address/phone number/credit card info?? Wouldn’t it be simple enough to look through accounts and ban folks or cancel their orders out of “Fairness”. Don’t you have some fancy algorithm that can do this process of elimination for you? The same people keep getting every release and to be honest I’ve really given up on my passion for sneakers. 25+ years in the game as a loyal Nike customer/supporter and this is the thanks we get?? I find it interesting that you keep running a survey about the very problem you created. Nike..you created this problem. The day you muscled the little shops and gave all allocations to the “majors” like Kith, sneaker politics, etc. you single handed ruined the culture.Show lessJB-INDY
