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
