How to cop on Nike SNKRS (Best tips)

Nike’s vice grip on the sneakersphere also extends to the smartphone world, where their all-conquering SNKRS platform remains unrivalled in terms of web-based retail experiences. SNKRS gives users exclusive access to the latest launches, with plenty of product storytelling to boot.

Despite being the single biggest place to cop Nike releases, it’s not always easy picking up what you want. Don’t worry, we’ve had some Ls, too…

That said, experience does count for a lot, so we’ve compiled some tips to help ensure your next ‘Got ‘Em’ is just around the corner.

Rise and Shine!

Don’t make the rookie mistake of sleeping through the W that could’ve been. Set an alarm and wake up 15 minutes before each drop to make sure you don’t miss entering.

Can’t Beat ‘Em? Join ‘Em

At the end of the day, it’s still all down to luck. However, there are plenty of people abusing the system with multiple accounts. It’s safe to assume the ones who always win create multiple accounts with minor changes to their name/home address.

If you don’t want to go to that level, you can always ask family members and friends to enter for you. If that isn’t possible, then multiple accounts on multiple devices could be your best strategy.

In it to Win it!

Enter as many draws as you can. This should be a fair process, so just make sure you have a decent 4G/5G signal or Wi-Fi connection.

It’s All in the Details

Pay attention to the non-commercial content that’s being posted. Early access and secret links are often given to people who watch and take part in the content. Additionally, keep a close eye on the effects on photos – some drops have had scratch and hidden photos, which can secure you a pair.

You Loyal. Nike Appreciates That

Rumours suggest the more you purchase, the higher chance you have of scoring in future. If you only go for high heat drops, then it’s less likely you will cop on a regular basis. Altering the algorithm and picking up some easy GR wins (even if you send them back) can help, as the app could reward your loyalty come the next hype drop.
