What Are Sneaker Proxies?

Sneaker proxies are a type of proxy server designed specifically for sneaker collectors and resellers to attempt to purchase limited-edition releases. By using an intermediary server, sneaker proxies will route your web requests so that your IP address and location appear different. In addition to helping collectors and resellers bypass access restrictions based on geographical regions, sneaker proxies also help avoid retailer order limits by allowing multiple purchase attempts under varying IP addresses. As illustrated in the diagram above, sneaker proxy servers are located between users' devices and the sneaker websites enabling them to alter their IP addresses and mask themselves when sending purchase requests. Sneakers retailers only see the proxy's IP address without seeing yours which increases your chances of successfully buying the rare shoes.
