Social Media Is Your New Best Friend!

Copping sneakers requires constant monitoring with great analytical and organization skills. Everything in the sneaker industry is revealed online. You can find release dates, exclusive leaks, official images, and every single bit of information on social media. So to keep up with everything that’s going on, create accounts on all social media platforms that matter. You gotta be active on all of these platforms too.

The go-to platforms for sneakerheads are usually Twitter, Discord, and even Reddit. All big sneaker brands, sites, retailers, and even sneaker blogs are there, so you should be too. Make sure you follow any and every account that’s even remotely related to sneakers.

You also need to make sure you’re up-to-date on the go. Install all social media apps on your phone, turn on all the necessary notifications, and stay alert. Sometimes copping sneakers or failing at doing so are just seconds apart. You should check these tools off your list first, to ensure you have the advantage you need to score kicks!

Copping Sneakers Using Bots

Sneaker bots are an essential element in the sneaker game. They automate the process of copping sneakers and make it much faster than humanly possible. You see, the thing with sneakers is, the more exclusive and hype a pair is, the more likely you’ll need a sneaker bot to cop it. So, it’s safe to say that getting kicks manually is getting more difficult. Especially with more people using sneaker bots to snag the kicks.

Speaking of competition hype sneakers are luring more sneakerheads into the game. So, if you wanna compete and win, sneaker bots are the gateway into the crazy world of sneakers. In other words, if you wanna invest in sneakers, you wanna invest in a sneaker bot.

What to Look for in a Sneaker Bot? Sneaker Copping Essentials

When choosing a sneaker bot that you hope will fulfill your needs for copping sneakers, you might feel overwhelmed. The market is loaded with free, cheap, and expensive bots that all claim to offer the same features. However, that’s not even remotely true. Although differentiating a fake from a legit sneaker bot can be tricky, there are hints that you can’t possibly miss. And in case you’re serious about your search, here are the costs of some of the most popular bots!

Features

Now, you should know that not just any bot will do, they have to offer many features. Limiting yourself with a bot that barely supports a few sites is a major drawback. You need a bot that can help you with copping sneakers no matter what sites they’re releasing on. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself with a couple of sneaker bots, having to switch between them on release day. In other words, you need an all-in-one bot!

So, good sneaker bots come with a very large fan base. A happy, and satisfied fan base. How can you tell? Check their social media accounts, a successful sneaker bot usually has numerous success tweets on every major sneaker release. Not only that but if you look deeper into the tweets, you’ll see that many users manage to cop multiple pairs. And that’s a legit sign that the sneaker bot you’re checking is reliable.

Updates

Frequent updates for your sneaker bot are crucial since they’re the only way you can guarantee your bot’s longevity and improved performance. Sneaker sites are always trying to get between you and your shoes. But a good sneaker bot is never held back by things like bot protection! Therefore, powerful and reputable sneaker bots are always updated to keep up with the changes in the sneaker game.

Some of these updates can be minor while others can be as big as adding a new sneaker site to their list of supported sites. Such modifications can really change your way of copping sneakers and increase your chances of getting Ws. For example, the upcoming NSB3 is bringing a brand-new user experience with it. But not only that, but it’s also gonna introduce the new Nike SNKRS module and AI Captcha solver! See? Updates.

Support

Believe us when we say, you will need support. Fast, reliable, and professional customer support. Especially when you’re still taking baby steps in the sneaker game, you will need all the help you can get. So before you actually buy a sneaker bot, test their customer support. Email them, comment on their social media, send them your inquiries, and see how responsive they are. If you’re happy with their work, chances are you will be late…especially on release days.

Now, since you’ve already chosen to cop sneakers using a sneaker bot, you need two more tools. Proxies and Servers.

Proxies

What’s the use of a sneaker bot, when all your tasks are sent from the same IP address? The main objective of a sneaker bot is to automate the act of copping sneakers. However, using a bot without proxies makes it impossible for you to cop even a single pair. The reason for that is the one-pair-per-customer policy that sneaker sites have. So running a bot without sneaker proxies is a major violation of that policy.

What to do? Well, you should pair every task you create to buy that sneaker with one of your sneaker proxies. That will make your requests look more human and less suspicious. Moreover, proxies increase your chances at copping sneakers by giving you an extra chance with every extra proxy you add. If you wanna learn more about sneaker proxies and which ones you need on each drop, check this out.

Servers

Some might say that servers are not an essential part of copping sneakers. However, sneaker servers are definitely an important part of a successful sneaker cookout. If you’re planning on creating the optimal environment for copping sneakers, you need to add sneaker servers to your list. It’s best to have a server on which you can run your sneaker bots. Sneaker servers have faster and more reliable internet in addition to performance much higher than your computer’s. This increase in power makes copping sneakers a smoother and even more successful process.

So there you have it! These are all the tools you need to make copping sneakers a reality for you! The sneaker industry might be brutal, but it’s a great place to start a side hustle if you have what it takes. And speaking of that, check this out if you think you have what it takes to become a sneaker reseller!

You see, the sneaker industry and sneaker reselling isn’t for everyone. The sneaker market’s value is expected to hit a whopping $120 billion by 2026. Meanwhile, the predictions for the sneaker resale market stand at $30 billion by 2030. That’s a huge number, and it kinda motivates you to try to know more about it all. But before you get into that, make sure you know whether you’re a good fit for it or not! And if you wanna have more options, here are some other things that you can resell that are not sneakers. This can come in handy especially if you’re on a very low (or non-existent) budget.

What Will You Need to Invest in Sneakers?

Before we get all technical and niche on you, make sure you know your sneaker terminology. If you already are, then just ignore that (or refresh your memory). Anyway, to invest in sneakers, you’ll obviously need sneakers. But coming by these sneakers, especially popular or hype ones is kinda hard. That’s why you’re gonna need a good sneaker bot that supports the sites you wanna cop from. If you’re unfamiliar with sneaker botting, this guide can give you an overview of what you need!

Lucky for you, you don’t have to look too far for a sneaker bot, because NSB is right here for you! Not only is it one of the best bots around, but it also makes sure that you always have the latest updates. That’s why NSB3 is coming soon with great updates that will level up your botting game. You can read all about it here, but you might want a sneak peek. So, some of the upgrades will be a Nike SNKRS module, AI Captcha solver, and more updates to our awesome Shopify module. Just make sure you own a copy of NSB, and if you don’t, you can get it here!

The Big Decision

If you actually decide to invest in sneakers, we gotta point out something to you. Some kicks are easier to cop, but they don’t make as much profit as the more difficult pairs. In other words, it’s a quantity vs quality(ish) thing. Should I buy 10 pairs of a sneaker that makes me $100? Or 1 pair of a sneaker that makes $1000? You know, that kinda mental monologue that keeps sneaker resellers awake at night.

Well, with all the exclusivity and hype we’re seeing, the hypothetical 1K+ pair will have a lot of competition. Going for it isn’t wrong, especially if you’re in it for quick money and don’t mind taking the risk. Who knows? You might end up cooking more than 1 pair if you’re mega lucky (or have a great sneaker bot). But you can’t always rely on this, because it could be a while before you get another pair like that! So we’d say a healthy mix of both would do wonders.

Are NFTs a Worthy Competitor?

You see, NFTs shot to popularity in a really short span of time. With the innovative idea and people’s FOMO on the line, investments came in left and right. And many (even us) started thinking (and some even believing) that NFTs were gonna be the next big thing! Don’t get us wrong, we still think that the NFT market is worth looking into. However, why would you put all of your eggs in one basket when you can split them?

Now, after the huge market crash in 2022, things are looking up for the NFT market. Apparently, January’s trading volume increased. But, even so, we’d still recommend investing in sneakers, especially since it’s a well-established industry. And let’s face it, it’s not showing any signs of going anywhere. However, just like any other industry, it could be going through a market correction phase. And that’s always a good thing in the long run!

Ready to Invest in Sneakers?

Because we can’t leave you hanging like that, we’re gonna give you a heads-up on what to look out for. Some sneakers may not be as profitable as you’d imagine, but copping them in bulk will definitely bring in mo’ money mo’ money! And well, with time and market knowledge, you’ll know what to go for. However, all eyes are on Nike kicks and Air Jordans since Yeezys are out. But you should probably study your options because not all kicks can get you the profit you want! And if you wanna stay in the loop, make sure you read our blog for the latest sneaker updates. Godspeed

Travis Scott Air Force 1 Features

As a sequel to the white on white colorway on the December Travis Scott Air Force 1, we’ll be seeing a creamy beigy “Sail” colorway on the canvas uppers of the upcoming Travis Scott Air Force 1. Gum bottoms remain the same and are more fitting with the Sail colorway than with the White one. Like the previous, the sneakers come with removable Swoosh, patches, and grilles, and the Nike Air branding on the heel tabs are upside down.

Nike x Travis Scott Air Force 1

Apart from his similar-looking Nike Air Force 1s, Travis Scott is doing a lot of work with Jordan Brand. Rumors have it that two Travis Scott Air Jordan 4s are dropping. First of them will be the blue suede Air Jordan 4 Cactus Jack. It will reportedly drop on June 23.

The second and third ones are these olive and purple colored Air Jordan 4s, that have no release information yet:

Price Point

Despite releasing in December 2017, Travis Scott’s white Air Force 1 will make resellers an average of $600 today on StockX. And the lowest ask price of the Sail colorway so far is $800. We can expect the Sail Air Force 1 to drop for a retail price of $150, like its predecessor.

Conclusion

Travis Scott is diving into the sneaker industry at a swift pace. According to Wealthy Gorilla, his net worth is an estimated $8 million. Who knows, maybe one day he’ll reach Kanye West status. So here’s your opportunity to get on the early train and cop some heat, because one day they could make you a fortune. Find out how flipping kicks could make you rich.

Off-White The Ten 2018

Off-White AJ1 UNC

After finally releasing the Off-White Converse Chuch Taylor All-Star, the brand intends on bringing on the Off-White Air Jordan 1 Dark Powder Blue UNC. However, there has been some confusion as to when it will release. According to Sneaker News, the date is still June 9th for the USA, while it will drop earlier for other countries including  Australia.

Off-White Nike Presto White

The sneaker comes with a white upper on top of a black outer sole along with black Helvetica font trademark touches and a stitched on cone-colored Nike Swoosh. Details like the red zip tie and bright orange tab under the Swoosh are the same as last year’s Air Presto.

Almost a month ago, Canadian sneaker leaker, @pinoE77, posted this picture of the Nike Presto telling us to watch out for June 21. Recently, Sneaker News told us the same. It looks like sources are agreeing on a set release date of June 21!

Note: While we could expect the reconstructed Nike Presto in the white colorway, the black one has yet to have a release date.

Resale Value of Off-White Nike Presto

As usual, there are some who want to cop to rock and flex, while others want to earn a couple hundred bills while doing what they love at the comfort of their own homes.

That being said, the resell on these is big. The Air Presto from 2017 makes an average of $1180 according to StockX. Selling at just $160 for retail, the Nike Presto could lead to a lot of easy cash for your wallet!

Now you have a chance to do that with the next Nike Presto. It’s as easy as knowing your links, buying proxies, servers, and running your bots. It’s the perfect preparation for a crazy summer ahead, full of all kinds of Off-White Nikes.

Nike x Travis Scott Jordan 4 Features

Dropping in the traditional silhouette, the Air Jordan 4 Cactus Jack colorway is inspired by the Huston Oilers color. That comes as no surprise since Travis Scott is from Huston. Accompanying the blue suede upper are black and red details throughout the shoe. A white midsole with the trademark air bubble is in contrast with the black outer sole.

Speaking of contrast, you can find different branding on each foot. The Jumpman logo is on the heel tab of the right shoe and the word “Jordan Brand” on the inside of the tongue. On that same shoe, the insole has the Cactus Jack logo.

On the left shoe, you can find the Cactus Jack logo on the heel tab. In contrast the other shoe, the word “Travis Scott” on the inside of the tongue. Meanwhile, the Jumpman is on the insole. Both preview the Jumpman on the tongue tab.

Air Jordan 4 Retro Cactus Jack Numbers

Rumors are floating around the web that the numbers on this release will be like that of the level of the Kaws Jordan 4. If you’re a sneakerhead, you know what that means. These bad boys will be had to cop, but worth all the effort. They promise to make big resale bucks. In fact, each pair of the Nike Air Jordan 4 Kaws sells for an average of $1125, according to StockX.

Reselling is a serious business. Bids for early pairs of the Jordan 4 Cactus Jack are already being placed on StockX and people are willing to make it rain for this pair. The shoe sells for $1639 on average, but bids for the pair exceed that number by hundreds. That’s what you get for an exclusive sneaker. And sneaker leaker @pinoe77 says there could be 13,000-15,000 pairs in all.

It will drop on June 23rd. Oh and guess what else drops in June, the Off-White UNC Air Jordan 1.

It’s clear that Nike is trying to maximize its investment in their most unique collaboration after that with Michael Jordan. And the collection may be even more valuable after Abloh became menswear artistic director at Louis Vuitton.

No one can discredit Abloh for being a hard-working creative and celebrated designer, but the question here is to what extent will sneakerheads be able to invest in this collab? Especially since it drifted far off course turning “The Ten” into The Hundred collection. 

Our hypebeast mindset is this: We want something special, but if everyone is wearing Off-White Nikes, why should we wear them too?

FEATURES: Off White Air Jordan 1 UNC

There’s been confusion over which blue this model comes with. For a time, rumors were saying that the upcoming Off-White Air Jordan 1 colorway will drop in a Dark Powder Blue. But according to the latest images, these sneakers will come covered in White, Cone, and UNC. This unconventional mix of colors dresses Abloh’s signature deconstructed uppers, all while staying true to the classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette and color blocking.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc3Mg1yFHcs/?taken-by=py_rates

Worth it?

Whether you should try to cop this pair, or not, is completely up to you. But you should know that the previous Off-White Nike Air Jordan 1 released back in March is still making a large sum on the secondary market, reaching up to over $2500. So if you weigh it in terms of resale value, this pair is definitely a must-cop.

The Air Jordan 11 Prom Night

A sample version of the Prom Night 11 was first spotted on eBay in 2011. It was immediately sold for 11,000 USD shortly after it was posted online. That’s a pretty symbolic year and price, don’t you think?

Back then, the black on black,  colorway was just referred to as the Blackout 11. Years later, as we get more information, we find out that it’s been given an official name: the Air Jordan 11 Prom Night.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhVLxw8BZXO/?taken-by=pinoe77

Features & Release Information

The Air Jordan 11 Prom Night is almost completely black aside from subtle hints of grey and its clear or translucent outer sole. Atop of the icy sole, is the upper which consists of various materials including black suede to give it a premium look. To complement the premium look, the sought-after shoe will come in special slide out packaging as well.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhqK9yYAbEC/?taken-by=1hoodplugjb

The Prom Nights are due to release on Saturday, May 26, 2018. According to previous rumors, the retail price was $250. However, thanks to official information, the Air Jordan 11 Prom Night will be retailing at $220.

But copping these sweet babes ain’t gonna be an easy feat. According to sneaker leaker @Pinoe77, there are around 50,000 pairs dropping ONLY. Hence, the Air Jordan 11 Prom Night is LIMITED.

In Brief

The Air Jordan sample that sold for $11,000 is officially dropping this year. Details below:

• Release Date: May 26, 2018
• Retail Price: $220
• Style Code: 378037-005

That can only say so much for the resellers out there. Wanna make money from the high price premium? Then don’t sleep on this release. Or wanna just flex a dope limited shoe, you know what to do.

https://twitter.com/py_rates/status/982272857387470848

FEATURES: Off-White X Converse Chuck Taylor

The Off-White X Converse Chuck Taylor is not your usual Chuck Taylor. The iconic CTAS 70 Hi is truly reimagined with its all-new Virgil Abloh makeover.

The shoe comes in a Cone White and Ice Blue colorway. It doesn’t come short of the typical Off-White branding on it’s medial and prominent zip-tie. And some pictures tease the bright green aglets on the end of the shoelaces, that offer a pop of fresh color to the icy feel of this shoe.

The text running on the midsole of the lateral side of the shoe reads, “VULCANIZED”. The word meaning “to harden (rubber or rubber-like material) by treating it with sulfur at a high temperature”. That explains the shoe’s rubbery translucent look and feel.

Virgil left nothing to spare when it came to this shoe. He even helped people know which foot to put in which shoe by including the text “Left” and “Right” and their respective toe boxes.

RELEASE DATE & PRICE

Thursday the 10th of May is the day the 10th shoe from ‘The Ten’ collection will release, according to the rumors. According to the same leaks, it will retail for 130 euros which are approximately $160.

The Off-White Vapormax which retailed at $250 is earning resellers a good $350. Similarly, the Off-White X Converse Chuck Taylor, although retailing for as low as $160, its resale price on StockX is not cheap. Pretty understandable, of course. Despite the fact that the shoe hasn’t released it yet, 2 early pairs were sold, and only God knows how!

The last sale of this shoe was a size 9.5 and it was sold for 1,350 USD. And right now the highest bid is $2000! Moral of the story is: you want this shoe, you better be prepared to make it rain.

So while you wait, go ahead and watch this eye candy being unboxed.

Keep your eyes open for raffles because that’s most likely how these babies will drop.

This is a valuable comeback especially for those who could not cop in 2013 and for those who want to extend their Air Jordan 1 collection. Understandably, sneakerheads appreciate this particular colorway.

Air Jordan 1 Shadow Features

The mix of Black and Wolf Grey upper sits on top of a white midsole on top of a black outer sole. The grey Swoosh and accents are highlighted against the contrasting black background. The toe, heel, and tongue Nike Air branding are also grey to compliment the shoe.

The OG retro Air Jordan 1 Shadow is made of plush premium leather. The photographs display such buttery smoothness to the shoe that we can almost feel the texture on our fingers. But if images aren’t enough for you, Finish Line 1721 on YouTube share a video comparing the leather of the Air Jordan 1 Shadow with other AJ1s. Hint: Go to minute 9:40 to see the Shadows compared to the Shattered Backboards.

For more, watch YouTuber, Seth Fowler, review the Air Jordan 1 Shadow. The sneaker enthusiast offers insight on the sneaker as well as an in hand and on foot review.

Release Sites to Know

Make sure to check your Footsites like:

1. ChampsSports
2. FootLocker
3. FootAction
4. Eastbay

As well as other sneaker sites that may be releasing the shoe:

1. KicksUSA
2. ShopNiceKicks
3. Ruvilla
4. FinishLine

Sure those are a lot of sites, but careful because they’ll sell out. This is without a doubt the Air Jordan 1 release of 2018, so you don’t want to sleep on these! Bet you’re as prepared to fork up that $160 on April 14, 2018, as we are.

Stay tuned for more Nike releases, like the Tinker Hatfield Jordan 3 which was pushed back to April 30, 2018!

Not only are the rumors growing but they’re being supported by more images. This was his response when posting a follow-up photo with leaked details like release date and price:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BfyPJobBcRS/?taken-by=pinoe77

The mid version of these RE2PECT shoes popped up for sale on Stadium Goods for $40,000 late last year. The heaping resale price is understandable since there is said to be only 5 pairs of the shoe in existence. They first were sold in a pop-up near the Yankee Stadium. According to SoleCollector, they released in celebration of the baseball player, Derek Jeter’s retirement.

RE2PECT Online Appearances

We’re seeing more media coverage of these sneakers from articles to Instagram posts to YouTube videos. That in itself proves that the rumors have created a trend and perhaps they may be in fact true.

For example, why would Jacques Slade make a video of himself in the Stadium Goods storage exclusively to show us the Air Jordan 11 Derek Jeter in his video titled Is $40,000 Too Expensive For A Pair Of SNEAKERS??

And why would Complex just upload the video P.J. Tucker Goes Sneaker Shopping With Complex in which he tells the host that Chris Paul flexed the rare Derek Jeter Air Jordan 11?

So if the rumors are true, we’ll be seeing a lot more of this Yankee navy blue babies around. Except this time, it won’t be the Mids, rather it will be the Air Jordan 11 Derek Jeter Low.

Air Jordan 11 Derek Jeter Release Details

Leakers, especially those with a reputation to uphold won’t publish fake news. They’ll be meticulous about how and where they get their information.

So without further ado, we’d like to claim that the RE2PECT release month looks like it could be April and the price, rather than a flabbergasting $40,000 will be around $200. PinoE says the release will be limited to around 59,000 pairs only, so prepare yourself!

Also, have you heard that the Off-White Air Vapormax is coming out in April?
