You Sure?: Nike Says It’s Doing Its Best To Stop Sneaker Bots From Eating Products
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke For the past few years, sneaker bots have really soured the sneaker game for heads who simply want a personal pair of grails to rock on their toe. It seems like Nike has finally heard our cries and are doing what they can to combat bots in anyway they can. At least that what they say they’re doing. A few weeks ago, Nike announced that they were going to war against sneaker bots, and in the following weeks those sneaker bots made copping kicks on the Nike SNKRS app that much more worst. It’s almost like the people behind those bots took it as a personal challenge and went Super Saiyan mode on the SNKRS app. Though it was obvious that sneaker bots made the Air Jordan 1 “Lost and Found” Chicago colorway thee worst drop in SNKRS app history, Nike ...
SNKRS and Travis Scott Nikes Meant All The L’s
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: SNKRS / NIke Today (May 27) was a bad day for a whole lot of sneaker aficionados. Two versions and two colorways of the latest Travis Scott and Nike collab was available on the SNKRS app, but thanks to limited quantities, way more people caught L’s than got blessed with a “Got ‘Em” notification. The SNKRS swings it pendulum towards more disappointment than elation on any given sneakers release, but even more so for shoes as hyped as Travis Scott’s. The drop featured versions of the classic Air Max 1 and the Air Trainer 1 except retrofitted in CACT.US CORP aesthetics that implement zippers for stowaway pockets, reverse Swooshers and other flourishes. And at $150 and $140, respectively, the retail price is right. However, most people can’t get them at...
Sorry For The L’s?: Nike Says They Want To Fix Their SNKRS Releases
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke Nike has heard our cries and seen our tears and are apparently FINALLY about to “fix” their SNKRS app to ensure more people take home “W’s” instead of having these bots eat like the app is a buffet. Hypebeast is reporting that during a meeting last week, Nike execs were discussing the displeasure sneakerheads have been experiencing with their biggest app and blamed it for sneakerheads turning to other brands such as New Balance, adidas, and even Crocs at this point. Looking to get those customers back and have them satisfied, Nike is hoping to up the number of W’s on the app to keep customers coming back and satisfied with their hated app. The meeting, which was first reported by Brendan Dunne, heard SNKRS’ global vice president mention that N...
