Nike Hints at Surprise Drops to Celebrate SNEAKRS’ Second Anniversary
Sneakerheads will have noticed that Nike's European SNEAKRS app gained a mysterious landing page yesterday that hints at surprise releases and potential restocks ahead of the app’s second anniversary on August 8. The page reads “SNEAKRS Day is back on 08/08. So get ready for some surprises. Watch this space.”
At time of writing, several Nike sneakers, such as the Patta x Nike Air Jordan 7, the Parra x Nike Air Max 1, and the Nigel Sylvester x Nike Air Jordan 1 have scratchable features on the app. Select users will see a “golden hangtag,” which presumably gives you access to a shoe through the app According to the Nike London Twitter account, though, all golden hangtags have been given out.
In addition to the hidden hangtags, Nike has opened up Stash Spots in three key cities: Berlin, London, and Paris. The exact locations for the drops are Cocolo Ramen Mitte in Berlin, Quai de Valmy in Paris, and Brick Lane Yard in London. If you’re in one of those three cities, you can head straight to those locations to unlock whatever pairs Nike is restocking.
Last year, a number of Nike styles were restocked on the app to celebrate the first anniversary. Those sneakers were unlocked by going to an older release page for said sneakers and using your finger to “scratch” at an image, unveiling a new landing page that allowed those lucky enough to get through to buy a pair.
Nike is remaining tight-lipped about whether there will be further drops throughout the day. Expect updates to come through the app, so it might be worth checking your phone today if you’re looking to cop. Stay tuned for more information as we get it.
