SNKRS MOBILE APP REVIEW
If you want “your ultimate sneaker source” (Nike, 2023), then look no further than the Nike SNKRS App (insert pic here). Gone are the days of pitching a tent in front of Footlocker so you can be the first to cop the latest Jordan release. The App has allowed a somewhat skewed leveling of the playing field, but at least you are in the game. But it is more than just an App for trying to get your hands on the latest drop through what they call a draw (as in a drawing). There is merchandise and apparel for men, women, and children. There are accessories and equipment like bags, backpacks, hats, and socks. New items, best sellers, and sale items are all at your fingertips. The App has featured content beyond just the demand for your consumer dollar. So let us take a look at the SNKRS APP.
DESIGN:
The design interface is user-friendly, classic, and responsive. Nothing overbearing that assaults your senses with an excess of text and images—simply the iconic swoosh and the shorthand version of sneakers. The Jordan Jumpman icon is black on a white background and quickly flashes by before you are introduced to one of the new releases.
FUNCTIONALITY:
How does the App function? I am glad you asked. Are you a sneaker-head, a self-described cultural icon, or an enthusiastic fan of everything Nike and Jordan Brand? Then this App is for you. But first, you have to become a member. By-passing the obvious stuff like your name and address, your shopping preference, shoe size, payment information, shipping information, and an email is all you will need to access this platform. Then on the day you “Got’em.”
Just click the share button to broadcast your good fortune on social media and pour a little salt in the wound of the haters. From logging on to sneaker immortality in about forty-five minutes.
1. 30 minutes before the drop, the App will notify you.
2. The drop item and price appear on the screen
3. Tap the price, and the size chart appears (pick the size you want to purchase).
4. Verify that your credit card information is accurate, then purchase.
5. The algorithm works while you cross your fingers and pray to the sneaker Gods.
Some will be victorious, but most will not. Remember, you are dueling with sneaker-heads and enthusiasts from around the globe or not if you are a flat-earther. As a member since 2011(before the SNKRS App went live), the mobile App functions as it should. I have always run smoothly with the mobile App. But I have had problems with the App on my desktop.
I have detailed how to use the App to score the latest drops. But the App also offers a ton of content. The Discover icon is at the bottom of the page, nestled between the feed and inbox icons. Here is a database of everything from fashion shows to music videos—web features like Icons, Kickcheck, What You Got, and more. As an end-user, I can tell you that the content can rival anything television networks produce. Furthermore, it is to your advantage to watch as much of the content as possible because those in the know say it helps the algorithm when it is deciding who Got’em and who
It does not happen much, but it is a nuisance when it does. The size chart says the size is available, but when accessed, you get a message telling you the size is no longer available. This is a frustrating glitch that I would correct.
This is an improvement but not an improvement to the App. How about manufacturing enough products to meet the demand so there is no need for a drawing. Supply the demand.
Lastly, hire better programmers so they create a contingency plan for the dreaded bot (robot). These software applications imitate human activity and allow programmers to cheat the system and generate hundreds of thousands of dollars selling these bots so limited-released sneakers can sell for big money on the resale market.
