Sneaker enthusiasts, SNKRS raffle specialists, Jordan collectors, footwear resellers, and athletic shoe market analysts depend on Nike proxies. Roundproxies provides the infrastructure necessary to navigate Nike's SNKRS app, increase raffle entry success, access limited Dunk and Jordan releases, monitor global product launches, and bypass Nike's sophisticated bot protection across regional storefronts and exclusive member access.
Free proxy lists are shared, recycled datacenter IPs — the exact ranges Nike filters first. In practice the entry is accepted and then silently dropped from the draw, or the account is flagged before the release even opens. Our IPs are clean residential and ISP addresses with a real consumer registration, allocated to you rather than shared with whoever else pulled the same public list.
Latency decides FLOW releases, where stock clears in seconds — our ISP pool sits on US and EU backbone routes close to Nike's edge, so a checkout request is not lost to routing. For draws, stability matters more than raw speed: sticky sessions hold the same IP for 30 minutes so login, entry and the result window all come from one address, which is what Nike's session checks look for.
Sticky residential proxies are the default for SNKRS draw entries — a real household IP, one per account, held for the length of the entry window. ISP proxies give you the same consumer-ISP registration with datacenter speed, which is what you want for FLOW restocks and for warming accounts between drops. 4G mobile IPs carry the highest trust of all and match what Nike expects from app traffic, so they are worth the premium on app-exclusive and Exclusive Access releases. Datacenter proxies are the one type to skip here: Nike has blocked those ranges for years.
Nike runs one of the strictest IP reputation checks in retail, and it rejects by type before it ever looks at your bot. Getting the proxy type right is most of the job — here is what passes, what does not, and how to set it up.
| Proxy type | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Datacenter | Blocked | Nike has blocked known datacenter ranges for years. Entries are filtered before the draw resolves, and repeated attempts put the account at risk. Cheap per IP, worth nothing on SNKRS. |
| Rotating residential | Monitoring only | The IP passes Nike's reputation check, but rotation mid-flow is the problem: an address change between login and checkout reads as account takeover. Use it for release monitoring and stock checks, not entries. |
| Sticky residential | Best for draws | A real household IP held for the whole entry window. This is the default for DAN and LEO draws, where the number of clean, distinct entries is what moves your odds — one sticky session per account. |
| ISP (static residential) | Best for FLOW | Consumer-ISP registration on datacenter hardware: it passes the same reputation check while keeping sub-50ms response times. The right choice for first-come-first-served drops and for holding a warm account long term. |
| 4G / 5G mobile | Highest trust | Carrier-grade NAT means thousands of real users share the address, so Nike cannot ban it without banning its own customers. Matches SNKRS app traffic — the strongest option for app-exclusive and Exclusive Access releases. |

Rule of thumb: ISP or sticky residential for entries, mobile for app drops, rotating residential for monitoring, datacenter for nothing Nike-facing.
SNKRS does not run one release mechanic, it runs three, and they reward opposite setups. Speed wins one of them and is irrelevant to the other two.
The classic drop and the format most restocks use. No timer, no draw: stock is live and it clears in seconds, so the fastest clean request wins.
Proxy setup: ISP proxies, geographically close to the storefront you are buying from. Latency is the whole game here — residential routing adds hops you cannot afford.
A modified draw with a brief entry window, usually a couple of minutes, after which winners are picked at random. Used for moderately hyped pairs.
Proxy setup: Sticky residential or ISP, one IP per account, session length set longer than the window. You need entries in before it closes, but being first buys you nothing.
A visible timer, typically 10 to 30 minutes, and every valid entry has the same odds regardless of when it landed. The format for the most hyped Jordan and Dunk releases.
Proxy setup: Sticky residential, one session per account, held for the full window including the result notification. Distinct clean IPs are the only lever on your odds — speed does nothing.
A US account entering a US release needs a US IP. A mismatch between account region, billing address and IP is one of the clearest flags Nike has, and it gets caught at checkout rather than at entry.
Login, browse, entry and the result window have to come from one address. A 30-minute session covers a full DAN window with margin; anything shorter risks rotating mid-draw.
Two accounts on one IP links them permanently. When one is flagged, both go — and Nike keeps that association across releases.
Monitor tasks hammer product endpoints and burn an IP's reputation before the drop opens. Run them on a separate rotating residential pool.
Log in, browse and sit on the account from its own IP days ahead. An account whose entire history is one entry on one fresh address is the pattern Nike filters for.
Load SNKRS through each proxy the day before and confirm it resolves clean. Budget a few spares — a proxy that fails at T-minus-zero is an entry you do not get back.
Size on accounts, not on releases. The count you need is one clean IP per identity you are running, plus spares for the ones that fail your pre-drop test.
| What you are running | Proxies you need | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Manual copping, 1 account | 1–2 IPs | One sticky residential or ISP IP for the account, one spare in case the first tests dirty. Our 5-IP free trial covers this. |
| Small bot setup, 10 accounts | 12–15 IPs | Ten dedicated IPs plus two or three spares. Add a small rotating residential allowance for monitors, kept off the checkout IPs. |
| Serious run, 25–50 accounts | 30–60 IPs | One per account with roughly 20% headroom. At this scale, spread across subnets so a single flagged range does not take the whole run down. |
| Multi-region releases | Per region | Size each region separately — a EU release needs EU IPs on EU accounts. Pools do not carry across storefronts. |

12–15 IPs
Ten dedicated IPs plus two or three spares. Add a small rotating residential allowance for monitors, kept off the checkout IPs.
30–60 IPs
One per account with roughly 20% headroom. At this scale, spread across subnets so a single flagged range does not take the whole run down.
Per region

tbh, I had a very good run with roundproxies. the support is top tier and the quality of the proxies ahve been premium since day one. Have used their ISP and Residential proxies and love the granuliar targeting I can do. I would recommend roundproxies.
The proxy quality and success rate is what stands out most. The IPs are clean, connections are fast, and I rarely hit blocks even on tougher targets. The dashboard is dead simple, I was up and running in minutes, and whenever I had a setup question, support answered within minutes and actually knew what they were talking about. For the price, especially the datacenter proxies with unlimited bandwidth, the value is hard to beat.
I purchased proxies today the first time in my life, not knew where to start. Marius responded within minutes and helped me understand everything right away. Very fast and helpful support.
The Datacenter Proxies arrived and missing an item. I immediately contacted customer service who sent me another Datacenters for and added one week for free on top.

No. Nike has blocked known datacenter IP ranges for years, and it does not usually fail loudly — the entry is accepted and then filtered out before the draw resolves. Use sticky residential, ISP or mobile IPs for anything Nike-facing and keep datacenter proxies for targets that do not check IP reputation.
One dedicated IP per account, plus roughly 20% spares. Ten accounts means 12 to 15 proxies; 50 accounts means 60. Add a separate rotating residential allowance for monitor tasks so they do not burn the IPs you check out on. A single manual account needs one sticky IP, which the 5-IP free trial covers.
Both pass Nike's reputation check, so it comes down to the release. ISP proxies are faster and win FLOW drops, where stock clears in seconds and latency decides the outcome. Sticky residential is the safer default for DAN and LEO draws, where entry speed is irrelevant and what matters is holding one clean household IP through the entire entry window.
Only by letting you enter with more distinct, clean identities — a DAN draw gives every valid entry the same odds no matter when it lands, so speed changes nothing. What proxies prevent is the opposite outcome: entries filtered for a bad IP, or several accounts linked by a shared address and removed together.
You can, and it is the fastest way to lose all of them. Nike links accounts that share an IP and keeps that association across releases, so one flagged account takes the rest with it. One proxy per account, and keep monitor traffic on separate IPs.
The same country as the SNKRS storefront you are buying from, matching the account region and billing address. A US account entering a US release from a EU IP is a mismatch Nike catches at checkout. For multi-region strategies, size a separate pool per region rather than reusing one.
Thirty minutes. Login, browsing, the entry itself and the result notification all need to come from one address, and a DAN window can run 10 to 30 minutes on its own. A shorter session risks rotating mid-draw, and an IP change between entry and checkout is one of the signals Nike treats as account takeover.
