so in today's video i'm gonna be giving you guys tips and tricks on how to get
shoes from nike a few different options online and locally and hopefully that can
help increase your odds so grab your notepad sit back and let's go ahead and get into it
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not
know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already make sure you
hit that subscribe button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time i upload
a new video and make sure you hit that like button because that helps the algorithm oh so
much so first things first we have to clarify a couple things with the people that do not know
or may not understand what is the difference between retail and resale so for example we
have the union air jordan 4 right here that i was able to get for retail off a sneakers app
and what do i mean by retail if you look at the box right here it says suggested retail price
250 and that's the price that they sell it on the nike website or locally at the nike store
so a lot of sneaker heads are always looking to either get a discount or purchase the shoe for
retail so that way it can get the best bang for the buck especially on a sneaker like this that
is worth more than retail so as i just mentioned we have nike sneakers app and we have to talk
about that one first because a lot of people know about it some people may not but let's go ahead
and get into that one and talk about the different options that they have on nike sneakers app if you
don't already have the app on your phone i'll make sure i have a link for it down below for you guys
that way you can get directly to the download link because some people have the confusion on spelling
out sneakers all the way but it's actually sn k rs and here's a little pop-up for you as well
so you can see what the app looks like on your phone now for those that already have the app
i'm sure you may or may not know but there are multiple options when it comes to the app and
how you can purchase it in store from the app via reservation or a draw or a first come first serve
on release day as we have seen over the past month or two now a lot of the sneakers have been set to
draw so what does that mean if you're scrolling on the app and you see a upcoming item that you like
and you see that it says draw right next to it that means there's going to be a 10 minute
window on that release date from the time that it is set onto the app depending on your time
zone so i'm here on the west coast so typically it's going to be 7 a.m on my time 10 a.m on the
east coast and you know how it goes from there one question that i get from a lot of people is when
you enter into the draw do they take your money you have to submit your payment information and
everything before you enter into the draw but they don't take your money unless you actually win the
draw so you have nothing to worry about it's not like they're just gonna take your money and not
give you anything in return so everything's a-okay on that part some people love the draw and some
people hate the draw other people's like the first come first serve just because a lot of people say
that there's less time to enter so i understand that part as well when you think about waking
up at 7am on my time entering in for a first come first serve and hopefully i can get a pair
maybe i was the quickest one to tap on the link or not i don't know we shall see next thing you know
you either got the got him or sorry you missed out and you didn't get the shoe now the other option
like i was just speaking about earlier is the reservation option they pop this up on the screen
typically maybe 20 to 30 sometimes 15 minutes right before it's about to go down and it'll
say west coast reservations and i'll have a bunch of different stores then they'll do the east coast
right after midwest different things like that the pop up a sneaker for a reservation for you
you try to click on it and then you book it for the store if you're able to book a reservation
you're automatically guaranteed to be able to purchase the sneaker but you have to pay once you
get into the store and pick it up at that local location so if you live in an area where you don't
have a nike town around you that means you're probably not gonna have a chance to purchase the
shoe but if you do i would highly suggest that you always stay tuned to your app because they like
to do these drops randomly a day or two before the actual release date that way they can set
the reservation and people can pick them up the following day on the actual release so now that
kind of segues us into purchasing in store right now what i have seen a lot of the reservations are
the only way that you can purchase in store but what they have also been doing recently they have
been getting drops in instead of dropping them on saturday they've randomly been putting them out
on the floor in the middle of the week it could be a sunday it could be a tuesday it could be a
wednesday whatever day it may be two o'clock one o'clock who knows what time they're gonna do it
that way they can give people the random sporadic chance to be able to purchase the sneaker and not
have to worry about people just camping out in front of the store and all those things going on
i'm not sure how that goes at every single nike town let me know down below in the comment section
how does your nike town function in your city one thing that i can say is i know that it's not
the traditional way of purchasing sneakers from nike and getting them for retail and having a set
release date and knowing that you could go camp out or into a raffle or whatever it may be but i
do like the aspect that is it's random and allows people to randomly walk into a store and come up
on a pair of shoes that they really wanted and be able to still have a chance to purchase the shoe
knowing that not a bunch of resellers or whatever it is sitting outside the front of the store ready
to cook all the shoes and then you can't even get a pair so i understand that i get the mindset
behind it and honestly i'm not mad at it i've been there before and i was able to purchase a couple
shoes on those random drops and i'm a happy camper and after i had saw it all go down and transpire
and saw just the people that were waiting in line for the sneakers after they had heard about the
news of the shoe coming out on a random tuesday it was dope because it was actual sneaker heads that
really wanted the shoe that got it in their size was happy about the purchase all those different
things so honestly again i'm not mad at it let me know how you feel about that down below in
the comment section now for another option that we have picking up locally this one is actually very
very unorthodox and we don't see this happen all the time but it's definitely a very viable option
because i have been able to purchase shoes for retail or even a little bit below retail and they
have not been b grades and i have been definitely a happy camper from this situation and that
is going to nike outlet stores sometimes we see sneakers released and next thing you know they're
out outlets in two weeks and people are like bro these are already at outlets this is insane well
if you really like the shoe and you want to get it for retail or below retail go ahead and try to
slide over to a nike outlet pretty often or try to get connections with people to see if you can have
a group and hey okay hey bro can you drive by this week and i drive by next week and you know
take turns with a friend or something like that because that way you can keep more eyes in there
and try to hopefully get pairs that you really want and not have to worry about the hecticness of
paying resale and standing in line and all these other things because nobody's expecting it to be
at a nike outlet right now like i said earlier there is a chance of you potentially getting a b
grade shoe or a box without the top on it or you could just end up getting a regular retail version
no problem with the box no problem with the shoe no b grades everything for retail and you're good
to go i personally think if the sneaker goes to outlets they should definitely mark the shoe down
but i was just at a nike outlet picking up some carmine sixes a couple weeks ago and i had to pay
retail 200 bucks for the shoe but again i wasn't mad because i had a great opportunity to go and
pick up a sneaker that i really loved and be able to double up on a shoe like that so for me i'm
still a happy camper so those are some quick tips and tricks on just how to get shoes for retail
specifically from nike online via sneakers raffles draws picking up in store checking out outlets
all these different options when it really comes to purchasing shoes for retail you're gonna have
to put in a little bit more effort you can't just be like oh i tried this one avenue it didn't work
so i didn't get the shoe if you really want to get stuff from nike and guarantee that your shoe
is authentic and guarantee that the shoe is for retail and all those other factors you're gonna
have to try to play extra parts and make that happen by either getting more people to enter
into the raffles for you having your friends have a sneakers app so that way they can enter
for you as well a lot of different things like that are easy ways to help you double
up on sneakers as well for example i doubled up on two pairs of union fours from sneakers app
your boy's a happy camper but i'm not sure if that tops picking up two pairs of travis scott's
for retail from sneakers app let's go baby and if you guys want to see more videos on how i
get shoes from sneakers app how i pick up multiple sneakers all those other things i have one at the
end of the video for you guys as well i probably pinned it in the video here on how i pick up
multiple pairs of shoes for retail different stuff like that and i have a couple more videos coming
to give you guys maybe uh i know a lot of people want to see the live cop of me actually picking up
the shoe on sneakers app and how i do it and my tips and tricks for that so we definitely still
got to get that video done and i have some more stuff for you guys as well because i love seeing
what people hit for retail i know for sure it is a great feeling i wish everybody could hit for
retail every single time but again i don't know if that would make the shoe game fun if we could
hit everything for retail i mean yeah everybody like yeah why wouldn't you want to get everything
for retail and just be able to purchase all the shoes i get that but it's always fun having the
hunt for the sneaker so i'm not mad when i take a l just because i know okay now i gotta go track
it down i gotta try to find the best deal work a trade something like that that's just how i kind
of function i know everybody doesn't think the same way on that topic and i completely understand
let me know how you feel about getting shoes for retail or paying resale and the whole game
and everything like that i know there's a lot of different levels to the shoe game some people hate
resale some people love it some people are willing to pay certain prices all those different things
i have my thresholds when it comes to resale i'm willing to pay this number if i don't get it for
that i'm not gonna get it i don't typically just go out and pay top dollar whatever the
resale market is saying i don't usually do that i kind of create a number in my head and then i
say okay i think this shoe is worth this and i'm a target that price to try to purchase it which is a
whole nother video explaining that whole topic so if you guys want to see that video as well drop a
comment down below and i would love to explain to you guys how i price and how i value my sneakers
