Y’all gotta stop relying on SNKRS .. I hit on FL Hibette and Kith


yeezyfella

This! If I relied on Snkrs, I would not have any sneakers in my collection. Not even close.


[deleted]

Came here to say this. If you’re in the US and only use SNKRS for these type of releases, you deserve that L.


[deleted]

Well what do I do I'm kind of new to this I've only been using the confirmed app and I hit all the time over there


[deleted]

Well now it’s too late for these as I believe they sold out. But for most non-collab Jordan’s releases you can get them on sites like footlocker, finishline, kith, Hibbet, DTLR, etc. for myself I usually enter in for the raffle on footlocker. They notify you by 9 am on release day, so you know an hour beforehand if you need to try somewhere else or not. I believe kith and Hibbet are the same as far as their raffles.


BagBandit_

Yea Hibbett notifies you the usually 2 days befor the drop . And Kith is usually the night befor sometimes early morning depending on how lazy they are being lol


Notagainbruh2

Yeah just make a folder with all the apps like I do and just go down the list entering. Only downside is if you win too many pairs because they will charge your card lol


Any_Cauliflower_8285

I’ve never hit on a raffle from Hibbett which is also crazy lol I did get the lost and found and reimagined 3s on SNKRS so I’ve hit on shit just lately been catching mad Ls


RedditorsAreSoft1

Kith didn’t release the playoffs tho so


BagBandit_

They 100% did 😂 they are literally in the mail


BagBandit_

You might be right . It was feature that I hit on not Kith . Kith was the marshmallow Toronto’s .. my point is there are helllla sites don’t rely on SNKRS


[deleted]

I just wrote the same. Had EA for a good 2hrs on FL but there’s other shoes I want so I passed. Why ppl just use 1 app is wild lol


Then-Negotiation653

I had a Finishline EA and just passed up on em. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I got EA on sneakers a few days before go figure.


[deleted]

Super weak. It's not even 10 minutes past the hour


Any_Cauliflower_8285

I don’t get it, I enter right when they drop smh size 13 always gone


_Broki_

Some sizes still sitting on footlocker


Any_Cauliflower_8285

Keep getting an error size is available but won’t let me put it in my cart


jaypeedee1025

That means they probably sold out there update on what’s available takes forever.I secured a size 12 in the first shock drop and I have a size 13 waiting at footlocker I knew these wouldn’t sit the quality is great.Everyone who copped enjoy .Everyone who dint i think they will restock.Always 1 to Rock 1 to stock on all OHS from 3s to 14s and still waiting for the original bread 16 to retro if ever


[deleted]

Same. On the dot. I even went back for a size up and caught an L


BBQcupcakes

I saw these in store today bruh


noloveforcomments

I was going say, my size is still available on SNKRS (10.5)


NavigatorNami

This happened to me too. As soon as it dropped, I entered and all the size 13s were gone, smh. I missed out on the shock drop, exclusive access ran out of my size when I tried for these, and now on the actual release day, I took another L. 😒 Being a size 13 is frustrating sometimes.


BuffaloNo9011

Thing I have noticed is the first couple minutes are easily the most common window of opportunities for bots and scammers. It almost feels like Nike AI is predicting a humans reaction to be a bit slower . Case in point ...past several releases I hit just because I followed someones advice to STOP submitting your purchase so early. I got the red cement 4 couple weeks ago after entering SNKRS at 10:11 (instead of 10am on th spot). Thank me later


[deleted]

Now this is some good news. Also go to the stores I just got me a pair size 11 and 1/2 from Dick's sporting goods. Go go go go


BuffaloNo9011

Yes!!!!! Retail pickups are BAAAAAACK . Don't sleep on visiting your local retailer !!!!


Nicklikesplants

I’d go out and try to find a pair bro. Good chance you might see them in store


[deleted]

Which stores do you guys go to I'm in the LA area


Nicklikesplants

Go on the Google maps and find the nearest shoe store. Footlocker, champs, JD, finish line, DTLR. You can call them and ask if they have pairs in your size as well. If they have pairs and are a half decent store you’ll get them most likely


[deleted]

All right man good looks dude if I can't find them in the LA area it wasn't meant to be


Nicklikesplants

I don’t have much near me bro, you have a lot more options I’d bet. I have one place within 30 miles of me that gets retro J’s in and I still manage to get the pairs I want from there somehow.


[deleted]

Yeah this is the first time since I had my kid that I've been trying to get a pair of shoes really badly so I'm going to make a thing of it with me and my wife and son


BagBandit_

Most shoe stores hold the shoe for the raffle winners till 12 noon time and if they don’t come by then to get their raffle win then they release the shoe to first come first serve in store . A good amount of ppl that win multiple raffles won’t show up for their win


[deleted]

Man I hope it's not like that where I'm at


PFTHT

I guarantee they’ll get restocked or they’ll get out on Nike app like other releases. They “sell out” then later that day or the next business day, they end up on the Nike app mysteriously. Just games they play to give that dopamine effect. I wear a 13 and I just looked and they would let me cop but I already won the raffle so I don’t need them. They also like to randomly add sizes up too so keep an eye on that throughout the day


Any_Cauliflower_8285

Yeah ima just wait it out and see, lmk if you come up on another 13 yo me and boy were just talking about that with the whole dopamine thing when you cop shoes like it’s a legit thing lol


chewbxcca

It’s so bullshit.. I order the second it turns 10, with all my info ready, and im unable to get it. Wtf?


GamerBoyNova

speed doesn’t matter for snkr launch releases as long as you’re able to enter, basically like a 2-3 minute raffle


LifeOfTheCardi

These were supposed to be "ugly bricks stuck in the 90s that no one wanted"....as said by Lying resellers who knew they were gonna cop regardless 🤣. I feel sorry for my fellow sneaker heads who keep getting fucked over


macmoretti

Size 13 with an L also. Check out the Sole Fly Diamond Turf 8’s coming out later this year. Could be a good replacement.


Bippu-Y33

That’s very surprising considering they dropped two EAs for these.


Any_Cauliflower_8285

That’s what I was thinking…maybe even sitting but nah lol


[deleted]

I’ve said this 100x…if u live in the states, there’s other sites besides SNKRS. Had EA for these on finish line for at least 2hrs. I didn’t want em but it wouldn’t have been hard because every site that sells shoes dropped these


AirDog23

Right...... People tend to rely too much on Snkrs for everything. Finish line EA has gotten me a lot of releases that I know I wouldn't have gotten on snkrs.


[deleted]

I’ve got every shoe I wanted that’s dropped on FL. I haven’t hit on a SNKRS draw in years. I’m 0-for at least 200 🤦🏻😂


DankShank317

Made my snkrs account in 2017 didn’t start hitting til 2021


NavigatorNami

Same here. I made mine in 2018 and didn’t get my first W until early 2021. It’s crazy lol.


Any_Cauliflower_8285

Y’all think $248 is the cheapest resell value ? Or will it go down


shadowking1991

They’ll for sure go down once pairs start coming in. I say wait if you haven’t picked up a pair. Nike will most likely restock these as they often do


syrupgreat-

downnnn


ihateposers

You’ll find em for discount soon.


[deleted]

When and where


ihateposers

Patience my friend. Sneakers collecting is about the journey.


[deleted]

The thing is these were the first pair of J's that I fell in love with that as a kid so it's been roughly 20 years. I'm going to try my hardest to get these things


ihateposers

My mans. I had these shoes when I was 9 years old. I refuse to pay $240 (with tax) for these. You will find them for less, I know of it.


rhousden

Wait how did that happen? I got the first shock drop a couple weeks ago but opens the app around 10:30 and they still had my size 8.5 in stock


rhousden

Just checked they still have 9.5 and bunch of 7.5 and lower.


Black_T-WRX

Got em on early access; wish it would have let me try again but you’ll get em eventually man. Unless people stopped sleeping on 8s 🥴


TechyRod

Nice W on FL! Gotta try other outlets


rell7thirty

Idk how these companies haven’t figured out how to remove bots from instantly purchasing. I swear, scalpers are the worst thing to ever happen in the sneaker game. F those dudes


bucksncowboys513

Honestly, I've been having luck just hitting my local boutique sneaker shops. In and out, no hassle at all.


DankShank317

Keep in mind though these also shocked dropped and tons of people got EA so the stock for the actual drop has to be pretty low


SDcurious92040

How? Mostly all sizes were sitting 30 mins after the drop.


Sneaker_HeaD_157

Everyone was wrong including me these didn't sit at all sold out everywhere glad I woke up early and went to my local footlocker and grabbed the last 9.5 they had I would've never thought these will sell out in the first day. Sheesh congrats on everybody who got the w today.


NAS210

They needa stop making these damn shoes release so fuckin early, 9am cmon man 🙄 my ass stayed sleep for an extra 10 min n they gone


GrouchyPreference765

7am on the west coast. I’ve slept through about 80% of this year’s drops 🤦🏻‍♂️


aFAKElawyer-

People wanted these?


matttrout10

Bruh Hibbett kith shoe palace dtlr so many other sites so man


macmoretti

Check your local Finish Line. Found size 13s sitting. Not even displayed.


Flyforalightguy

Damn bro, if you missed these you must be shooting blind. Shits is sitting everywhere


Any_Cauliflower_8285

😂 chilllll I couldn’t find em anywhere online ina 13 and I didn’t pull up to the mall (lazy)….fuck it finna go check today they might be gone by now tho 🙃


Frequent_Marzipan922

Lol I saw a FSR in San Antonio shops at river center


AirGordon23

These shoes were everywhere, if you didn’t get a pair you really didn’t try.


Any_Cauliflower_8285

Yeah didn’t try going into any stores 🤷🏾‍♂️ but I sure as shit tried a few apps lol was waiting for em to go down on stockx or something if they really sittin but $250 + fees & shipping cheapest I’ve found after a week
