Let’s dig a bit deeper into our entry methods:
Store pickup
Grabbing the newest sneaker release is easier than ever:
- In the app, choose up to 3 stores carrying the release
- Head to your store and pay for the release in person when it drops
Good to know:
- Show a valid photo ID (like a passport or driver’s license) to a store team member to grab your release
- You can only win the store pickup or ship to me option, not both
Ship to me
We'll use the payment and shipping information saved in your Foot Locker account to automatically:
- Charge your credit card.
- Send the release to you.
