Guides
No tricks and no promises about odds. Just what the mechanics are, what you can control, and where a tool genuinely helps.
How Nike runs its limited releases, in plain terms.
SNKRS basics
GS means Grade School, PS means Preschool and TD means Toddler. Nike calls these Big Kids, Little Kids and Baby/Toddler. In its US chart, 6Y matches women's 7.5 and 7Y matches women's 8.5. Compare labels below, then check the exact shoe's offered sizes and fit guidance.
SNKRS basics
Exclusive Access is an invite-only Nike launch outside a regular public release. An invitation does not reserve your size, and the offer is time-limited. Nike now describes randomized selection and an invite-only Exclusive Draw too, so follow the specific offer rather than assuming a direct purchase. Nike does not publish a checklist that earns an invitation.
Getting an entry in, and getting it to count.
Entering draws
To cop on SNKRS you install the app, sign in to your Nike account, save a valid payment method and address, then submit one entry during the Draw window before it closes. SNKRS launches run as Draws, so being fast does not decide them. What you control is preparation, the right size, and being there while the window is open.
Entering draws
Nike's position is on the record. Its Terms of Use say "Do not register for more than one account", its launch drawing rules say one submission per person per launch product, and Nike's own SNKRS post tells members to use one account on one device. Whether to treat that as a hard line is a decision with consequences attached to your account, and not one we get to make for you.
What the tools around SNKRS actually do, and what they cost.
Bots and tools
Each profile you add in Laced is backed by its own Nike account, created and run by Laced on Laced's own infrastructure, with its own setups and proxies. You supply a card and a shipping address; everything else sits on our side. That is why you need no Nike account, and it is also why more profiles means more entries in the same draw.
Bots and tools
iPhone sneaker tools do different jobs: release alerts, retailer checkout or managing draw entries. Choose by the release you want and the work you need handled. With Laced, you select SNKRS releases and sizes, add billing profiles and start your entries. Your first profile is free; Nike charges for the shoes if you win.
Bots and tools
No, not by Nike's rules. Nike's Terms of Use, updated October 2025, bar developing or using any application or automated technology to interact with Nike's services unless Nike approves it. Section 6 is broad. It draws no line between a desktop bot and a third-party entry app, and Nike has not approved Laced. The consequences Nike controls are cancelled orders and account action, and we cannot give you a legal opinion about your own.
Bots and tools
A mobile sneaker bot is a broad term for sneaker checkout or entry automation accessed from a phone. The useful distinction is where the work runs, on the device or on a service behind it, and which steps it automates. Laced puts multiple entries into Nike SNKRS draws. You add profiles and choose releases; you need no Nike account.
Bots and tools
Desktop sneaker bots are priced in the hundreds. Nike Shoe Bot lists $499 for six months, AIO Bot $299, and Cybersole £50 a month behind a waitlist. Swft, an iOS autocheckout app, runs $29.99 a month. None of those prices include proxies or a machine to run them on. Laced starts free at one billing profile and is billed by the app stores.
Orders, shipping, resale and what happens once the Draw closes.
After the draw
An L on SNKRS means you were not selected in the Draw. It is sent after the entry window closes, not in response to your entry, so its timing tells you nothing about what you did. Most Ls are just arithmetic. A smaller set of failures are preventable and specific. A declined card, a mismatched billing address, no size set, a late entry, a duplicate entry on one account.
More entries. Your first profile is free.
