Sneaker Copping & Limited-Edition Releases
Winning Limited-Edition Drops with Proxies for Sneaker Resellers
CASE STUDY
Sneaker resellers know the competition is fierce, and the window to grab limited-edition releases is incredibly short. High-demand sites often implement IP blocks, speed bumps, and stringent monitoring to deter automated bots. Serious resellers needed a solution to secure those coveted pairs before they were gone.
The Challenge:
IP bans due to rapid-fire checkout attempts.
Websites flagging suspicious, high-frequency requests.
Limited access to global sneaker drops due to geo-restrictions.
The Proxy Solution:
By employing a diverse network of residential, ISP, and mobile proxies, resellers appeared as ordinary shoppers browsing from authentic IPs worldwide. This allowed them to:
Rotate IP addresses to avoid detection.
Access regional releases previously off-limits.
Improve speed and checkout success rates by avoiding throttling.
The Results:
With proxies in their arsenal, resellers significantly upped their game, snatching more pairs of rare shoes and boosting profits. The gains included:
Higher success rates in limited-release and restock drops.
The ability to target global markets, expanding inventory variety.
A competitive edge against other resellers relying on outdated tactics.
