How to Win on the SNKRS APP in 2023 ?

In this new article, we’re going to talk about how to optimize your chances of getting a rare sneakers on the SNKRS app. You will find several techniques to learn how to earn the most raffle on the app !

The SNKRS Application

SNKRS is the latest app that Nike created in 2015, it’s now a must-have for any self-respecting sneakerhead who wants to copy as many rare pairs as possible. Most of the hype pairs from Nike / Jordan are released exclusively on this app.

SNKRS application is different from the classic “Nike” app, since it only offers rare pairs that are not available to the general public, in stores or on retail websites. They are often pairs that have been designed in collaboration with other big names in fashion and pop cultures like Off-White or Travis Scott.

Of course, a hype pair is a rare pair, which means that the quantities produced and sold are much lower than the more classic pairs.

Let’s now move on to the ways to win (= have the right to buy, we are not talking about winning in the common sense of the word) pairs on the SNKRS application:

The different types of launch on SNKRS

The Shock Drop

There are different types of SNKRS launches, the first one is the “Shock Drop”, it is a “surprise release” that has not been announced on the application and that offers an exclusive pair at a random time of the day. No one really knows how this works or what shoes may be offered, but Nike does this occasionally throughout the year without disclosing it.

The second type of launch is the SNKRS Pass. Unfortunately for the provincials, it’s only available in the big cities where there are Nike stores. If you live in Paris or Los Angeles, for example, you can take advantage of it. This draw is also done randomly for the inhabitants of large cities, in parallel to the drop on the application. You will have to go directly to the store to hope to win the right to buy the pair.

Thirdly, there is the “FCFS” (acronym of First Come First Serve), for this type of launch, everything is in the name. It is the first come first served. In this system, Nike announces that such day at such time a pair will be released on the SNKRS application in FCFS, and you go at the time indicated praying to be among the first to have the chance to copy the pair. There is no draw or waiting list. The FCFS is usually not available for the most sought-after pairs since the dice are loaded: since it is about speed, some clever people have developed bots to automatically participate in FCFS. Chances are that these bots are much faster than you, but you can always try. Every day, Nike develops and improves its anti-bot protections in order to prevent legitimate users, so don’t lose hope!

Fourth type of launch: the “Exclusive SNKRS Accesses”, the concept is simple, Nike sends from time to time to some of its members (or sometimes to all) the right to buy the pair before its official release. Of course it is also necessary to be the fastest since the exclusive accesses are also limited to a maximum number. We advise you to create an account and validate my email address!

Finally, the last type of launch is the classic raffle. You sign up for a 15 minute session, enter your size and wait for the draw. Whether you arrive at the first or the last second will not change the draw, it is theoretically purely random. Once the draw is over, you will receive a confirmation email if you are among the lucky ones.

Please note that your SNKRS account will be linked to your Nike account. You can’t register on SNKRS if you don’t already have a Nike account.

Now, let’s get to the point of this article: How to earn SNKRS App Raffles in 2023.

Tips on how to earn SNKRS App Raffles in 2023

Why? Because Nike has recently made a statement where it indicated that users of these 2 payment solutions would be clearly favored during the various launches compared to users who use more traditional payment methods such as credit cards. The arguments put forward are that it is much faster since there are no numbers to enter, no codes to receive by SMS, no validation in the application of your bank, etc… Which means they can pick Apple Pay and Google Pay users faster, with no hassle on their end.

The SNKRS application analyzes your every move when you are on it, which means that its algorithm will always prefer an active user to one who only comes once or twice a month. Ideally, you should be on the application at least 2 or 3 days a week. You don’t need to invest yourself completely and in a very serious way, you just have to browse the pages of the application from time to time, bookmark this or that pair you like, get information on the pairs that are going to be released, watch some videos that are proposed, etc. It’s really a passive use to satisfy the algorithm. For example, if you are playing a video, you can put your phone on the side while you are busy with something else.

A bit like the second tip, don’t hesitate when you (or family members, friends, etc) buy more classic pairs from Nike to swipe the QR code on your account. At first glance, it seems pointless, but several users have found that after these checkouts they were much more favored on the SNKRS app. In reality it’s quite logical, it’s obvious that Nike prefers to reward its loyal buyers rather than the others. It’s a virtuous circle: the more pairs you buy, the more pairs you win, the more pairs you buy, and so on. Again, you are feeding the algorithm with data and that is why this third tip is in the same vein as the second.

Also, never use the same credit card on different accounts. Don’t forget that the SNKRS application fights against bots, this is the dread of every seller since it plummets the market and disappoints the real users. In its fight against bots, SNKRS is very careful about anything that could make you look like a bot. So if you change your account on your phone regularly, Nike will not take any risk and will never give you the chance to win, you will somehow be eliminated from the game without ever knowing that you are.

Whether it’s for The Shock Drop or for news and information about future drops, the SNKRS app can send you notifications. We advise you to activate them! You might be lucky enough to get an opportunity in the middle of the day!

Information is the key to success, that’s why we advise you to join one or more cook groups so you can get information from the community. A time to connect, a precise date when to open the application and where to go: so much important information! TimeToCop has listed the bests cook groups by country, so you can find a group based in your country! You can also find our guide on how to predict the resale value of a pair, so that you can choose the drops you want to base on.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you follow these 5 tips you will usually be a winner. The important thing is to be consistent and not give up after 3 / 4 failures !
