This is great news for “Sneakerheads”. While release methods are gradually changing to make the playing field of getting that highly coveted sneaker daily, it looks like Foot Locker, Champs and Footaction join the likes of Nike and adidas for a similar method. Taking to their respective apps, this new reservation method has been unveiled, Launch App Reservation. the app reservation looks to eliminate “unfair” raffling and lines altogether which looks to be for the better considering the increase in popularity over footwear the last couple of years.
The app looks to be a success but only time will tell. Check out the step by step directions on how to use the app below accompanied by pictures and the video below announcing the new Launch App Reservation.
