Nike SNKRS is Sending LA Sneakerheads on a Scavenger Hunt to Unlock All-Star Rewards

In-person activations are back. After years of online raffles and digital lineups, the sneaker industry is back outside, and this All-Star Weekend, Nike is pushing LA to shake off the hangover from Friday night and trek across the city to unlock rewards from the SNKRS app.

The Nike SNKRS Map Challenge: All-Star 2026 is spread across five locations in Los Angeles: Nike The Grove, Nike Community Store Watts, GV Gallery Pop-Up, Sole Classics, and the Foot Locker All-Star Takeover. Using the Nike SNKRS app or website, scavenger hunters will have to check in at three of the five locations, including at least one of the two Nike stores, on Saturday between 10 am and 8 pm.

After the three checkpoints are finished, the race is on to Crenshaw High School, where first-come, first-served special prizes await the fastest finishers. With so many exclusive releases coming to All-Star Weekend, there’s no telling what awaits the lucky few who get to Crenshaw High first, but with so many sneakerheads in town, you’re gonna have to be fast.

The Nike SNKRS Map Challenge: All-Star 2026 kicks off Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 10am across Los Angeles. Check out the photos for the exact locations of each SNKRS Map check-in, and download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay up on all the latest All-Star Weekend activations.
