Tips for Copping Jordan 1s
Optimize Your SNKRS Account
Complete Nike profile 100%, make occasional Nike.com purchases, engage with SNKRS app content daily, enable notifications. Active accounts have better draw odds.
Enter All Raffles
Don't rely only on SNKRS. Enter raffles at Foot Locker, Finish Line, Champs Sports, Hibbett, and local boutiques. More entries = higher odds.
Know Retail vs Resale
Check StockX/GOAT prices before release. If resale is only $30-50 over retail, consider buying resale instead of stressing over release day.
Wait for Restocks
General release colorways restock frequently. Set alerts and be patient. Paying resale immediately after release is usually most expensive time.
