today we're going to be talking about the nike sneakers app draw how the system works and
different tips and tricks that i have learned that helped me win on the app more often so if
you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show on this channel i love talking
about sneakers giving you in-depth reviews or exclusive looks at rare sneakers but one thing
that i love even more is helping you guys find ways to get shoes for retail so if you haven't
already consider subscribing because we're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the
next one to help us get us there so first things first if you don't have the app it is called nike
sneakers app it's available in the app store for android and iphone so once you have downloaded
the app you're gonna have to create a profile to use the app so now that you're set up which i'm
assuming a lot of people do already have accounts but again this is more of a beginner's guide for
the people that have never done this before so once you have it all set up you're going to go to
the home tab on the bottom left and you're going to scroll up and down and you're going to see
different live stream events upcoming events that have going on different segments that they
may have previously recorded shoes that are coming out shoes that have already come out
that are available now when it comes to the draw system every sneaker on the app is not in the draw
basically what that means is some items will release at a specific time and when you click
on the item you'll see right here it says available at the time which i live on the
west coast so that's seven o'clock here 10 o'clock on the east coast wherever it may be depending on
where you live just do the math based on that but either way it's going to say available at
this time so when it says available at this time that's going to be a first come first serve drop
which is a completely different video now when you click on an item that's going to be more limited
typically they do a draw on the limited item so typically that's going to be on a collaboration
sneaker something like travis scott or union for example maybe off-white something like that is
definitely gonna have a draw to it now when you see a sneaker that's like a aero jordan retro
that might be a little bit more limited or a cool colorway or again another collaboration definitely
gonna have a draw so for example in today's video we're gonna use the union duck glow that was a
collaboration it's a low top dunk there's a lot of hype around it there's not as many pairs made
so i can understand why nike would create a draw around this sneaker now when it comes to that
you'll click on the item and you'll see right here it says draw opens at and then we'll have the time
which here on the west coast is seven o'clock so we'll see that first and we'll know okay
when this happens the shoe is going to come out at this time but that doesn't mean it's a first
come first serve that means everybody has the opportunity to enter into the draw for a certain
period of time now each draw is different they can range from anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes
typically we see a 10 minute draw but we have seen different variations based off of certain releases
so i would always assume it's the 10 minute draw but we have definitely seen extended draws in
previous releases but i personally like to make sure that i'm on top of it within the first 10
minutes that way i don't have to worry about oh is it a 15 minute or a 20 minute or a 30 minute draw
oh i got time oh i thought it was this time and the next thing you know you forgot to
enter because you were two minutes late so for me it's always wise to stay within that first five
to seven minutes just to play it safe so now that you know that i want to break down a couple things
before we hypothetically enter into the draw as i go through this process with you so you guys
can understand this as well a couple questions that a lot of people ask me about the draw before
they even enter into the draw is nike gonna take my money and then give it back if i don't win or
some people think that i'm automatically entered in and i get that shoe guarantee so for the first
question no nike does not take your money when you enter into the draw the only time that they'll
complete the transaction is if you win the draw which we'll talk about in a second but basically
you are committing to saying yes if i win this draw you are able to take the money from me
but say for example the shoe's 150 bucks entering into the draw is free and then if
you win then you pay the 150 it's not you give up 150 and then they give it back to you if you lose
so that's something you don't have to worry about but yes technically entering into the draw you are
telling them yes you can take that 150 from me if i do win i just want to clear that up because i
definitely hear that question a lot from people some people may think oh yeah obviously bro but
again you got to remember we are all beginners at some point so i want to make sure that everybody
has an understanding for the people that are just getting started into this stuff now for the second
question when you enter into the draw know that does not mean that you get that designated size
that you wanted to get yes that means you are saying hey i would like to purchase this size
and this is the size that i'm entering for and i would like to win this but that does not lock you
in to get that shoe guaranteed you still have to go through the draw process now let's talk
about the draw process and how that works so let's say 7am rolls around we're talking about
hypothetically west coast time now so west coast time 7 a.m i wake up and it's time for the draw
to finally open up and now what do i do a couple things are going to change on your screen when
you click on the product it's no longer going to say draw opens at it's actually gonna have
a time stamp at the top that is counting down to zero from the time that is allowed for people to
enter so if it's a 10 minute time clock it's going to count down from 10 minutes all the way to zero
when it turns zero it's going to turn red and then from there you can no longer enter into the draw
which is ten minutes after the seven o'clock time mark and then at the bottom of the screen you're
gonna see join draw you wanna click on that button it's going to slide up and it's gonna
ask you your size that you want your shipping address the payment method and then it's going
to tell you the retail plus taxes depending on where you live once you have your size and
everything selected you're then going to hit the submit button and it's going to ask you one final
question are you sure you want to do this and just below that it says the same thing like i
talked about earlier you will only be charged if your submission is selected otherwise you will
not be charged so from there you're basically consenting yes this is what i want to do i'm
willing to pay this money if i win and from that you just hit confirm and then from there you're
gonna have another screen pop up with a check mark that says join and if you win you will be charged
for this purchase and the shoes will be shipped out after that if you go back to the home screen
you're gonna look at the product and you're gonna see that it says draw joined from there you will
no longer be able to change your size or enter again on the app there's only one submission
per app what does that mean you can never enter multiple times on the same app so when you see
people say they hit multiple pairs on sneakers app that means they had multiple profiles to enter
them in to try to win the draw so for example like you have seen me multiple times if i hit a couple
pairs of this shoe and i'm like oh wow i'm so happy i got this shoe i got a couple pairs off of
sneakers out for retail that's because i had me my wife or my mom or my friend or whoever it may be
helping me out and them entering on their phone as well now this brings us to the next part of the
video where we're going to be dropping a lot of dimes and a lot of tips and tricks so please take
notes and pause the video if you need to but i'm telling you right now this is going to be a lot of
good info for y'all and if you really want to take your game to a whole nother level i created a full
vip mastermind community for everybody to really elevate their collections which i'll talk about
a little bit later in this video but i have the link for you guys down below in the description
for that as well but anyways let's get on to these tips first thing that i would say when it comes to
entering into these draws is nike is creating the draws for a reason they want to filter out
the bots and have as much bot protection as possible so what does that mean what you need
to do is when you create your profile actually put a profile photo on your profile make that
look like a actual human is using this profile you want to also be active on the nike sneakers
app so like i talked about earlier with the live stream events and the different sneakers harding
those shoes by saying hey i like this sneaker or picking on the app the different categories
that you're interested in or actually even sharing the sneaker that you're interested in to a friend
so say for example you know hey i'm gonna have my wife enter into a sneaker i could easily tell
her or i could push that share button and send it to her phone even though i'm still gonna tell her
that way it shows that i'm active on the app i'm interested in it and i'm willing to share to other
people because at the end of the day what does nike want to do they want you to share their app
to get more people to come to their app so if you're able to share the product that means oh
great this person's interested in the products and they're willing to tell other people about it as
well so we should reward them so that's not saying it's gonna work every single time but that's
definitely something that could help you and you should always consider the next tip i wanted to
talk about earlier but i'm saying it now you want to always consider when you enter into the draw
so when the draw opens at seven o'clock you have a 10 minute window for example let's say it's a
10 minute time don't immediately enter into the draw when people have bots what they do is they
immediately go in and they start entering soon as the seven o'clock time hits right so what you want
to do is wait for maybe two or three minutes be a little bit patient and enter in within that first
three to five three to six minutes to make it look like okay cool i saw the notification it took me a
couple minutes to enter into the draw and then now you're still doing it you're still submitting your
entry so be patient when you enter i personally feel that makes it look a little bit more natural
as a human is using the app compared to a bot using the app and immediately tapping on that
draw entry as soon as it opens and one other major tip that i want you guys to think about as well is
typically when it comes to these hot releases or even the gr releases they're not only releasing
on sneakers apps so if it's a draw that means they're giving you time to enter into the draw
so with maybe that seven o'clock strike you should consider entering on these other websites
foot locker champs east bay whatever trying to at least get an entry in at the seven o'clock mark
because now you got an extra five minute window to try to enter into heavy sports or chic or shoe
palace or get in that finish line line and get in that queue or waiting on the other website
that's doing the seven o'clock drop that gives you more time to do that and still enter into
the draw on sneakers have so yes consider sneakers app as a first resort because trust me right now
there is times that you might slip through the cracks on all these other foot sights and still
be able to cop pairs and the next thing you know you enter into the draw and you're like oh dope i
was able to double up on the sneaker that i really loved or i could use that and i could trade it for
trade bait for another sneaker or i could flip it and cover the cost on the pair that i got
there's definitely a lot of different ways that you could spin it when it comes to that because
trust me right now i have seen and it has happened to me as well but i know a lot of people that have
literally entered with 10 seconds left and have still won the draw and let me know how you feel
down below in the comment section about that logic i would love to hear what you have to say now
another thing when it comes to multiple accounts entering onto the app if you have multiple people
living in the same house and everybody's on the same wi-fi or whatever it may be make sure that
you're using a different ip address so that means what take your phone off of the wi-fi because now
it's creating its own ip address through the phone cellular network and now it's looking
like all these submissions from the same address are different people and it's not really looking
like a bot as well because again nike is going to be filtering all these things out so which you
could do another thing too when it comes to that a lot of people are scared to have multiple people
entering from the same address and hitting on the same thing me personally i've had multiple hits
from the same address before and it's worked it is possible one thing that you could consider doing
is maybe changing up the address even though it is the same address so for example you know how you
could spell out an address and it could say drive d-r-i-v-e instead of using that just put dr which
is the same thing or say it's lane l-a-n-e and you could just abbreviate it ln or avenue a-v-e
instead of avenue and spelling it all the way out so you kind of see what i'm saying right there
have one person have their address it's the same address yes technically it's the same address but
it's just spelled out a little bit differently that'll also help you out as well when it comes
to making it not look like the same thing is duplicated on a multiple apps and it's all
trying to funnel through the same thing so that's definitely another thing that you can consider
it's an easy little tweak but i'm telling you it might be something that could help you really
change your game i know this is a lot i know i want to make sure that i cover as many things
as possible and again in the vip mastermind we definitely go over way more than just this stuff
but this is just kind of like a tidbit of what we like to talk about in that community but anyways
let's talk about the final result because if you don't you know we haven't made it to that part yet
so basically what's gonna happen is you entered into the draw you're waiting for your results
it takes obviously past the 10 minute window and then from there a few minutes later it'll start
trickling in with results maybe five seven two minutes whatever it may be it's always kind of
roughly another one to ten minute window after the draw closes you'll find the results so from
there you'll see a screen like this and that's the screen that not a lot of people like to see
that one says you didn't get the shoes sorry thanks for entering all that stuff yada yada
whoopty woop or you get the screen like this and this is the one that everybody loves to see
you got em the shoes are on the way you locked it in for retail everything is good you're having
a happy day and you're going on about your day posting it on instagram telling all your friends
