How SNKRS Draws Work

There are two types of SNKRS Draws: DAN and LEO.
DAN Draws
DAN, which stands for “Draw and Notify,” is when Nike places a timer, typically 10 minutes, on a release and allows users to enter the draw. After the allotted time has passed, Nike will begin randomly selecting winners for the release and, within minutes, notify you whether you won or lost the draw.
LEO Draws
LEO, which stands for “Let Everyone Order,” resembles a first-come, first-served release, but it is different. Nike will allow users to try to place an order for a product and, within two to three minutes, notify them if they won or lost. There is no timer displayed indicating when Nike will begin picking winners, so it’s important to try to get into the release as soon as possible. That is unlike a traditional first-come-first-served release, where you are charged and given a confirmation number for your purchase right after submitting payment.
