The SNKRS app is an app directly from Nike where they do a lot of their limited/hyped sneaker releases. It is simply an app where when a sneaker drops, you receive a notification and you are then able to either purchase it or join the queue/waitlist - this provides you a chance to then purchase that sneaker. Sadly for us Canadians, the SNKRS app is not available in Canada. If you've tried to get it the traditional way, you likely ran into some hurdles or were simply unable too. This guide is to walk you through the processing of getting the SNKRS app and using it properly so we can have just as much chance as anyone else in copping new hyped sneakers. To get the SNKRS app, follow the directions below depending on which type of mobile device you have (Apple or Android).
Special things needed: -A phone number (a US phone number will be needed if you are on iOS. A paid service such as should work for just a few dollars). If you have a US number or a friend/family member with a US number, even better. -A US shipping address (you can use any US cross border service/reshipping service - check out for more details) -You may also need a US billing address. See step 3 on the cross border service article linked above for details on how to attach a CBS address to your credit cards billing address. YMMV on whether this will be required or not.
