Nike SNKRS: Sneaker Release Reviews

I recently tried to purchase a new pair of 1’s that came out. I logged on just in time my payment info was already in all I had to do was click the purchase button come 10 o’clock and I did just that. It told me my order was pending and that they’ll let me know if I got them or not. 2 seconds later I got a notification that I “got em” and they sent me a verification email with my shipping details. They gave me an arrival date of May 29th and now today I received an email saying my order was “cancelled”. Confused, I called nike (waited 45 minutes so I assumed this happened to multiple people) and they basically said the reason my order is cancelled is because they have no more in stock. So my whole point is don’t send people verification that they “got” the shoe cause that makes it seem like you guys have an absolute pair reserved for me when you didn’t. When you purchase shoes on snkrs and they send you verification saying you “got” the shoe it actually IS FALSE they have no reserved pair for you once they check your order in which it was received in and they have no more in stock they just cancel the order. Very silly. Don’t get me wrong I believe in “first come first serve” but if I wasn’t one of the first and don’t actually have a pair reserved for me dont send me verification saying I got them then cancel my order 5 days before the day you guys TOLD me they would arrive. Makes no sense to me.

I am a huge sneaker fanatic since a child and I remember whenever a sneaker dropped you could walk right into the store a week later and still be able to cop some heat for retail. Now a days we have a bunch of kids using bots to buy out all of the stock just to mark that sneaker up an extra $100 to $200+ above retail which is ridiculous. I haven’t won one draw yet and I’ve always been on time and ready to go to purchase whatever sneaker is available at the time and no success. Your team need to do a better job at focusing on taking out these bots so we can actually have a fighting chance to purchase a sneaker we actually want, sneakers we are actually gonna wear and not resell. This is the reason why I’ve haven’t bought a new pair of kicks in the past 2 years because I don’t wanna pay $500 for sneaker that sold retail for less than $200 that is stupid to do especially in these times. I have 2 young boys that once the time comes they are gonna wanna purchase shoes just like their daddy but I wouldn’t be able to afford buying my 2 boys the latest heat because I would have to pay resell cost or get extremely lucky which that’s just not fair. Fix this and maybe I’ll give NikeSNKRS 5 stars but until then you will continue to get negative reviews from not only me but other unhappy fans of this product.
P.S. you have a lot of unhappy fans. (FIX NikeSNKRS / STOP THE BOTS)

Over the years NikeSNKRS has NOT gotten better at processing orders correctly it’s either you get it or you don’t and for me, family & friends sometimes even strangers over the internet it’s 98% of the community that don’t get to cop, even with pre set Information like your size or payment information NikeSNKRS continues to freeze or just don’t process your info correctly or on time 10:00 am drops an sold out at 10:00 am makes 0 sense you can have the highest WiFi or 4G 5G service nothing this is so disappointing, you can’t even get regular sneakers sometimes much less SBs or Jordan’s etc smh just very disappointing because I love NikeSNKRS an all the exclusive sneakers it offers but it’s VERY DISAPPOINTING that NikeSNKRS has NOT gotten better smh!! it’s not fair for those that want to cop sneaked at RETAIL PRICE!!! I refuse and maybe this is why I’m so upset an frustrated but I refuse to go on other 3rd party apps an pay $350-$500+ on sneakers that RETAIL for $110 that’s not fair in anyway I really hope you guys get it together GET RID OF THE BOTS SO US REGULAR FOLKS COUKD ENJOY SNEAKERS AGAIN!!!

I love everything about NikeSNKRS and I’m going to more than likely get on it every single day for the rest of my life. One of the things I really love are the videos about the shoes that are releasing, because it gives us a story behind it and i feel it gives us more of a history lesson behind it. When i first started using NikeSNKRS i was super frustrated because I wasn’t able to get ANY of the shoes i wanted. As time has gone on and I’ve been on here more consistent i keep getting the GOT EMS. Honestly, there is no better feeling in the world than seeing that notification on your screen pop up after anticipating that shoe all month, reading about it, watching videos, and just becoming all around obsessed with the shoe. I honestly think there should be more shock drops and more early access but all in all i love NikeSNKRS, and i really enjoy being on it. I also noticed that the quality of the shoes i get are TOP NOTCH QUALITY! Keep up the great work, and thanks again for everything SNKRS. Hands down the best sneaker app out!!!

NikeSNKRS is absolutely terrific! At first I was feeling dreaded on constantly trying to go to stores to get my Jordan’s just to find out that it’ll be sold out in my size anyway. When I came across NikeSNKRS I contemplated because I didn’t know if it was a scam or if it was actually legit. So I took the courage to order one of my Jordan’s which were the air Jordan retro 9’s that were all black. I went to my local shoe store and they were sold out at exactly 9 am so when I ordered it off NikeSNKRS I didn’t know if it was gonna be sold out or not, but comes to find out it wasn’t! They had my exact size and all I needed to do was create an account with my touch id passcode and just like that I got them. A few hours later it emailed me saying my order has been received and 2 days later emailed me again saying it has been shipped. About 3-4 days after I got my shoes in the mail! I just ordered another pair which was the Homage To Home retro 1’s and the same thing successfully happened. I absolutely LOVEEEEE NikeSNKRS and do not regret getting it, and will continue using it for here on out. :)

I went on NikeSNKRS today at 9:59 am to purchase the Jordan 1 Pine Greens and as soon as the time hit 10:00 i purchased the shoes just to be told they were sold out. My order was pending for about 5 minutes and then i was informed they were sold out. This was a complete waste of time in my opinion. If you purchase the shoes within 5 seconds of availability how could they sell out that fast?? I thought NikeSNKRS was supposed to counter all this nonsense but I see that it’s still impossible to buy Jordans. The process is flawed or either Nike needs to make more, its obviously a high demand so why make the supply so limited??? I ended up paying a full hundred dollars above retail from the EBAY app. If EBAY is more reliable than the Nike SNKRS app itself i see no point of having NikeSNKRS at all. I am fed up with this Nike App at this point and this is the reason people are being killed and robbed over shoes. I’m starting to believe Nike is intentionally making a small amount to hype the products and i think its absurd.

Was reading a review about how hard it was for ordinary customers, like myself to purchase new drops. I saw this Sneaker about four weeks ago and I knew I had to have it. Even got my dates mixed up and tried to purchase it on the 5th not realizing that I was two days early from the original 7th drop date. Even went as far as calling customer service to complain. So this morning I was really doubtful that I was ever going to be able to get this shoe especially after reading the terrible review. But I tried anyway. When my purchase went to pending my skepticism increased even more because that what the review said generally happens before they boot you out of the line. So I just went back to work. About five minutes later I got an alert that I had booked the sneakers. Contrary to all my doubts Sneakerz is a great site and I will using it again. This was my first time I ever used it, but it won’t be my last. Thank You for increasing my confidence in your went. Be Blessed.

Much of the last year “2020” was very disappointing. Not that sneakers and being able to buy them is that important in general, not being able to make a purchase for an item on an app is very frustrating on so many levels. Most of the time, it seems like I’m just wasting my time trying for a sneakers release. Even if it is limited or not, odds are that I won’t be getting anything. I’m hoping for a better year and overall better experience with the SNKRS app as I’m sure many are. True sneaker enthusiasts who actually want to own and wear Nike/Jordan brand products but are unable to do so thanks to bots and very limited stock numbers being available. Add to the the constant “back door” rumors we hear about that happens as well and we’re all pretty S.O.L. I hope improvements are being made and am glad that so far for the year 2021, I’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to buy a couple new releases so far.

SNKRs is an awesome app and love the way they’ve designed it. It’s simple, easy to use, and easy to buy your favorite sneakers. It’s outfitted similarly to Instagram with large photos of the shoes you want to purchase. I do wish they showed more photos of the sneakers on feet and with outfits to give me some ideas, however its not that hard to instagram or google outfit ideas.

One bug that I’ve noticed that “bugs” me is that I’ll hit “get Notified” on a sneaker drop and never get notified or alerted that it is happening or will happen. I’ll open NikeSNKRS days later and the sneaker will evidently be sold out. This happens a lot. I double checked my Notifications settings on my iPhone and everything is set to alert me, but I never get alerted of a drop, so I always miss out on the best sneakers.

Also, its confusing to go between essentially 2 apps to get the shoe I’m looking for. If SNKRs doesn’t have it, I’ll have to pop on over to the Nike app to look for the shoe. I’m not sure why there’s the complexity of jumping between 2 apps to buy something that should be as easy as a 1 stop shop from one brand.

Has now ruined two releases for me in a row. Apple Pay does not work on NikeSNKRS. Every time I try to buy shoes, it says there was a problem processing your payment. This is the cards hooked up to my Apple Pay that I use to purchase everything else in the world, so I know it’s not my cards or my phone. Don’t try to get your release on NikeSNKRS, it will only screw you over. Thank god for footaction and finishline, they saved me both times. I will never use NikeSNKRS again though. It doesn’t even tell you if you got the shoes right away. How do you not know if you have them in stock? Every other website does. Then after 5 minutes of it sayin pending, it just says there was a problem processing the payment. I tried all of my cards, including credit cards that have a ton of space on and it doesn’t work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH NikeSNKRS. You will be disappointed if you can’t the hottest shoe because NikeSNKRS can’t handle processing a simple payment. There’s so many better sites and apps than this one. Very disappointed that NikeSNKRS is so bad but is run by Nike. NikeSNKRS is pathetic and you can’t even purchase shoes on here so don’t waste your time. I would say it’s only good to send notifications when the shoes are being dropped

I typically don’t write reviews on apps. This one is an exception. I haven’t hit on a limited shoe that has immediately sold out ever. I have tried at least 5 times in the last three months simply to get error messages over and over again. I really like snkrs as an app when it’s not releasing a shoe. But every time a shoe drops it completely dismantles and hardly functions. NikeSNKRS makes me want to give up on trying to win through NIKE.

Also. Snkrs pass. How can you legitimately expect fairness when NikeSNKRS is fully booked in 10 seconds. I timed it. Watched it happen time and time again. It’s the same people catching every drop and I try and try just to miss out. The last release I was able to purchase was the DMP six for someone else in April of 2020. That’s over a year of missed releases. I understand you cannot satisfy everyone but at a certain point you gotta understand that this makes me never even want to try again.

NEEDS WORK! Try a Snkrs pass with the draw feature?

So I’ll start off by saying that I’ve been able to cop every shoe that I’ve tried get on NikeSNKRS. From the cement fours, to the bred fours just this past Saturday. My main problems with NikeSNKRS is every time I got to purchase a shoe, I need my password. Even tho it’s setup up for Face ID, and in the past, Touch ID. Another bug I’ve noticed is on the account tab of NikeSNKRS . When I click on my favorites tab, and also the purchased tab, all of my favorites and purchases are not shown. Some show up when they want to. Others never show up. And others never move. This is frustrating because I like to be able to show people stuff that I have bought, or things that I think are cool. But it like every time I go to those sections it’s like NikeSNKRS plays this game of “ what are we going to show today “. I’ve literally had to go and re-favorite things that I’ve already favorited and at this point I’m like what’s even the point of the feature.

For in-stock items NikeSNKRS has worked well and I have purchased about 7 pair of shoes On multiple special draw opportunities NikeSNKRS has failed leaving me a bit frustrated. Today all my information was cleared from my profile except credit card info and NikeSNKRS wouldn't let me re-enter it or update it causing me to miss the draw (the submit button stayed grayed out and would never allow me to complete even for the entry portion)
Previously the shoe size and CVV were cleared causing me to miss out. I have yet to have a successful draw event and only a couple times have I even been able to receive confirmation of entry despite being up to date on app version and profile, this while trying to enter within 1 or 2 seconds of the draw opening. I would expect better from Nike but they are selling out of the limited edition shoes anyway so i don't hold my breath for any change from big Corp.
Sometimes the notification doesn’t work. Sometimes presets don’t fill in.

I actually love NikeSNKRS and it’s set up for the most part. It’s visually appealing and functional but when it comes to actually securing sneakers on release day through NikeSNKRS? It’s a true hit or miss. And I take more misses than anything. I feel like I’m a loyal user and I participate in the majority of drops but I’m rarely successful in getting a W. It shouldn’t be this hard to “win” a chance to BUY shoes. Then no matter what I do I can’t get exclusive access to save my life, meanwhile there’s people that get it almost every single drop. It doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t seem fair that the same people get to benefit while others never do. I’ve known of so many people that say they haven’t gotten W on NikeSNKRS in years or those that have never ever gotten Exclusive Access. There has to be a way to make this process fairer or allow the rewards to be beneficial/accessible to more people.

Like many who are writing reviews, I love sneakers and especially Nike sneakers. However, the SNKRS app needs to evolve to combat bots being used by resellers to allow those who choose to play by the rules a fighting chance to purchase the latest hyped sneakers. I and many others are increasingly and repeatedly unsuccessful when attempting to make purchases using NikeSNKRS. I’m unaware of any effort on Nike’s behalf to update the user interface or experience for NikeSNKRS that prevents bot usage. Brand owners like Chris Gibbs of Union worked with Shopify to combat this very issue and were successful in thwarting rampant bot usage when the Union x AJ4s dropped. It’s not rocket science, Nike, and you can do something. However, it appears you don’t have a desire. There are even pre-order sales models that could ensure a win-win scenario for Nike and the consumer. “Just do It” or something because if you’re really paying attention, the community is becoming more vocal with their dissatisfaction with NikeSNKRS and its ability to deliver fair results. Please do something, Nike. Hopefully someone from the SNKRS dev team that can influence change will read this and positively impact future sprint development for SNKRS.

I used NikeSNKRS 4 years. However, I just got less than 10 pairs which every one can get it, like off white x Nike Vapor street. There are all bots in there, and they don’t care. They just let them got. Then sell higher prices to customers. That is all for advertising effect. It’s just a trap. I do not want to use dirty words in there. But it is absolutely trash trap app. You can see adidas yeezy, they also have bots problem. But they will think about some stratagems to deal with customers. And to update their technology to fix bots problem. But for Nike, SNKRS, they don’t care you. They could be deal with bots, sell 95% pairs to bots, and only 5% for real customers. If you are real fan of sneaker. Let me up. And let’s together say no. You see the environment of sneakers, they don’t buy shoes for wearing, just reselling. Putting the price straight up. They destroyed the original environment of sneaker culture. Let’s kick them out from our culture. FK u. By the way, I miss that culture like before, we bought sneaker and wear them on the street. Share with friends, some we can exchange them or trade them, shoes for shoes. But now… you saw that.

So a little backstory… in 2001 I was a wide eyed 19 year old kid. I was proud to have my own apartment and my own vehicle. I wanted these shoes more than anything at the time but I just couldn’t manage the extra funds to get them. So I just accepted that it wasn’t meant to be and went on with my life. Then 2010 comes and the cool grey 11’s are once again going to be released. I was 28 and deep into addiction. My life was a downward spiral. I barely even noticed that they were being Released again. Now to present day- I start seeing Twitter posts about a possible “shock drop” for the cool grey 11’s. I am coming up on 1 year sober and I also just got approved for my first credit card since I was 18. So when I saw that GOT EM screen pop up AND it being my first credit card purchase I was elated! For me it’s more than just copping a shoe. These shoes will represent my success in sobriety and in life. Thanks Nike.

There have been numerous times when I go into app right before a release and when the clock turns to the time of release, NikeSNKRS will sit there and load for a while until you either reload NikeSNKRS or log out and back in. And a lot of times when that happens, it’ll say you’re in line with sale pending, and then say that your size is sold out.
It did that once again today, it happens so often, I’ve become accustomed to it. What made it worse is that it didn’t show the “Jordan Reserve”(restock of limited Jordan’s) on my feed until I logged out of NikeSNKRS and back in. I have been checking in on NikeSNKRS every 2 hours since 9:30 for the earth day releases and I didn’t even know about the “Jordan reserve” stuff until I got on Instagram and I still missed out on the earth day releases too.
So if you’re a sneaker head, get used to missing out a lot of releases, especially if its been hyped up. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, now join me in taking these Ls.

Ordered Concord 11s. While trying to order NikeSNKRS kept stating my home address and my parents address were both invalid addresses. I finally got it to accept my parents address. My shoes were shipped out. NikeSNKRS said the tracking number was Fedex. Later found out was a UPS tracking number. After I was finally able to track my package, UPS said my address was incorrect. I called and told them it was not and that they delivered to the address plenty of times. Long story short, my shoes were never delivered. UPS lost the package some time over the weekend after I called them to “update” my address. Once they found the package, they sent it back to Nike instead of delivering them to me. I had been looking forward to getting these shoes all year and now I do not have them. Nike customer service is horrible. I asked if I could just repurchase my shoes that got sent back to them because I did not request them to be sent back and it was UPS fault losing the package and not attempting to deliver the shoes at all. They simply said there was nothing they could do and most of the customer service reps were pretty rude at that🤬😡😤

Nike shows all the future releases and gives you a “notify me” option but it doesn’t really matter because you can NEVER get the shoes you really want. I have everything set up with fingerprint recognition and the second they go on sale push purchase and always end up “in line”. After 3-8 minutes of waiting “in line” I get a message saying the shoes are sold out in my size and I should pick a different size and try again. Are you serious?!? They’re shoes. It’s not a flavor of ice cream. I wear a certain size and that’s it. Why would I want a different size? But don’t worry. Nike will reserve shoes for you that they think you’ll like. It’s just weird that they only reserve shoes that are widely available and don’t need to be reserved. I’m a true sneakerhead and want to buy shoes that I can wear, not that I can resell to make a profit. It’s an absolute joke the way it’s done and Nike doesn’t care as long as they get their money. Don’t waste your time with this garbage app. It will only frustrate you to see the shoes you actually want being bought up by resellers. I’m just wondering when Nike is gonna start selling clown shoes because that’s how they run NikeSNKRS. What a joke. 🤡👟

NikeSNKRS has let me down on every single transaction i have tried and its seriously one of the most frustrating feelings. Why can’t you people process my transaction EVER!!!! I always get an error with processing and I know its not from my end so why cant you people fix whatever bugs you have in your software! And its not about not being selected because I am always on top of the release times down to the second. You guys owe me so many pairs of shoes that should have been processed. Waiting on one last pair and if it messes up again then im done with you people. Why am i going to keep getting my hopes up only for your second rate app to ruin my day. If you know hundreds of thousands of people are going to try getting the shoes then add some more power so your systems can keep up with the workload. Sad that nike cant even run an app properly.

At the start of NikeSNKRS, all was fair in the sneaker world, you had a good chance of picking up limited releases. Now it is trash 🚮 garbage, it stinks 💩 because people have created Bots to target NikeSNKRS now and I look on twitter after every release on the developers pages who supply these bots and they retweet all the success their customers have snatching up the shoes. I’ve seen people send in complaints to Nike about this matter but they go ignored. Nike needs to go back to the drawing board because people sit around and past up chances they have with other shoe stores waiting to see that their size is sold out in 60 secs. In my personal opinion, the best way to grab the kicks you want is to try a local store or go in person, that how I have been picking up some of my releases now, which is a shame because I stopped due to the threat of being robbed or getting into an altercation over shoes, but with bots ruling the internet world and all these companies worry about money and not total customer satisfaction, this is what it comes down to. I really hope this review give awareness to those who all downloading and taking a risky chance, wasting precious time

I have tried giving NikeSNKRS a try just to give Nike some respect. The overall design and information this apps lays out is top tier. I can say NikeSNKRS is easy-to-use, aesthetically appealing, and a complex app made into something simple (buying shoes). Now I don’t write reviews, but now that I have attempted to buy 3 different shoes. Waking up earlier then my alarm sets because I don’t want to miss a released timeframe. I have everything set up so that all I have to use is Face ID. I refresh NikeSNKRS as soon as release is a minute away. And now I’m in line. 3 times. 3 times I have done this process with no luck. I get hit with a pending status to find out in 3-5 mins my size is out of stock. Maybe I just don’t have the luck of draw. Maybe it’s NikeSNKRS . Whatever it is. My recommendation will be to use another source. I have used another app and got the shoes I wanted, the size I wanted, 3 times in a row. Great app. Not so great experience. And maybe NikeSNKRS it’s not at fault. But I’m tired of waking up earlier then needed to find out it was for nothing. My services are now placed elsewhere.

I just tried to buy the Travis Scott air Jordan 1 high sail color way I was on NikeSNKRS since 9:58am-11am I tried everything restarting NikeSNKRS I used my phone and my girl friends phone on her account with 2 different payment methods me and he have 4 bars LTE on our phone plus super fast WiFi and our accounts have all of our information saved and when we go to purchase we sign in with our Nike pass to pay and it kept telling us there was an error I double check all our information on NikeSNKRS everything was correct and NikeSNKRS continued to tell me there was an error from 10am-11am NikeSNKRS never took my payment even tho I have over $7,000 in my account that doesn’t make sense why would there be a error for taking out basically 200$ from my account when ever I try and purchase a limited sneaker on NikeSNKRS I never get a chance to win and it’s really unfair and I feel like these sneaker companies don’t care about the people who actually try and purchase the shoe the proper way with all their information saved and everything there still no way of winning

I like having the SNKRS app as a way of seeing what shoes Nike has available, but as an online shopping experience it's been incredibly frustrating.

Over the last three months I've had five separate occasions where I've been unable to order something because of technical problems in NikeSNKRS . There have been times where NikeSNKRS won't refresh, or I'll enter in shipping information and it won't let me click save and continue. Other times it won't accept my default payment method and then time out. Perhaps the most frustrating part of all this is when everything finally works like it's supposed to, but then you get put in a queue to see if you secured a pair. You'll sit there and wait, sometimes up to two or three minutes, only to be denied.

I like the concept of NikeSNKRS, and am hopeful that it will eventually work as intended, but it's quickly turning me off of Nike shoes. Every time I see amazing sneakers like The 10 line, I know it will be almost impossible to get, because the SNKRS app will get in the way.

I like the idea of NikeSNKRS as it allows you to attempt to get limited release sneakers without having to wait in line at a store. However the major draw back is that NikeSNKRS VERY RARELY works as it’s supposed to, especially if it’s a shoe that has a drawing involved, at that point you might as well forget it. Today I tried to purchase the Air Max 90 Mars Landing and I went about my normal ritual of being up at the crack of dawn waiting for the release and just like always I completed the purchase protocol in about 3 seconds and got the “You’re in Line” message. After about 5 minutes of no notification I picked up my phone opened NikeSNKRS and saw that it was frozen and when it refreshed itself I got the “All of your size is sold out” 🤣🤣🤣. It’s laughable how pointless NikeSNKRS is, but we all keep trying because we’re sneaker junkies. So good on Nike for tempting us with a few transactions that actually worked, like dealers that sell a pure product but then cut it to keep you coming back for more because the high is weakened. Nike we love you but NikeSNKRS is an insult to your customer and fan base.

By far one of the best app to have in your collection if your a sneaker enthusiast. Everything is pretty simple and laid out for you. If you don't want to forget some of the biggest release of the year this is NikeSNKRS for you. If you just want a easier way to purchase kicks that have been on your radar ( Nike x Jordans only) then this is NikeSNKRS for it too. Just a clean app and awesome with the Apple Pay.

Update: After having NikeSNKRS for awhile still Is an awesome app. Im still giving it 5 stars despite the once in a while glitches ; like having to refill in payment , shipping info that is already saved to your NIKE profile , and getting error message your first attempt to purchase exact when it drops. Honestly thats with any sneaker related website or apps apart of the sneaker game when everyone is trying to get the same sneaker.

Purchased my sneakers from NikeSNKRS multiple times. But when really popular releases are coming NikeSNKRS somehow resets the “notify me” button and if you don’t have NikeSNKRS running 24/7 you’ll have to continuously hit “notify me” over and over. Had this issue in the past thought it was fixed until both the Gatorade NRG 6’s and the recent Cap and Gown 11’s, where a new issue has been occurring. With a notification set, on the release date of the shoes all of a sudden those that you had a reminder set for somehow aren’t listed and don’t show up as if the shoes don’t exist. I work most mornings and NEVER have the option to go to a store to pick up new sneakers so NikeSNKRS was my last resort. Unfortunately I won’t be using NikeSNKRS until I can trust that these bugs will be fixed.
