FAQs

Do new shoes release only in SNKRS?

Some drops happen exclusively in SNKRS, while others might be available only in the Nike App and on Nike.com, and still others might release on all three.

To make sure you don't miss any of our drops, you'll want to keep an eye on both SNKRS and the Nike App or website. You can watch for new releases in the Nike App by going to the “Shop” screen and tapping “Drops.” On Nike.com, hover over the “New” tab in the header and click “Latest Drops” to see what’s new and upcoming.

Can I have PayPal as my primary payment method in the SNKRS App?

Yes, you easily can set PayPal as your default by going to your profile.

  1. Go to the Profile tab and tap “Payment Information.”
  2. Tap “Add New Payment Method,” then “PayPal.”
  3. Enter your PayPal credentials and authenticate your account.
  4. Place an order within one hour to save PayPal as a payment method. If you don't place an order within an hour, PayPal won't be saved as an option.

We recommend adding PayPal as a payment method 30 minutes before a SNKRS release opens.

And please note, that your order's shipping address must match the shipping address associated with your PayPal account.

What should I do if I can't sign in to SNKRS on a browser?

If you're having trouble signing in on a browser, go to your browser's settings and clear your cache and cookies, then try signing in again.
