An important bit of SNKRS related news. Nike has software in place for high heat releases (such as Travis AJ6) to scan their system for SNKRS accounts that do not qualify for the release. What those qualifications are is not clear to me yet but the gist of it seems to be that they look for accounts that are newly created, have no purchase history with Nike and no interactions.

With that said my advice is definitely to use only one Nike+ account and use it anytime you make a purchase with Nike. In-stores, outlets, online, etc…make sure they know you are spending directly with them.

On top of that I would also make sure to favourite releases, read notifications and interact with the SNKRS/Nike apps, leave comments etc. I imagine the system is scoring you somehow on how you interact with their content so it can’t hurt to show you’re a human who has taste preferences.

They ran this tech on the Travis drop and also on the Kyrie 5 release yesterday and it screwed over a lot of resellers who purchased blank SNKRS accounts to use for entries and slots

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
