Early Findings
CONFIRMED
CONFIRMED by Adidas offers users access to exclusive product releases, "
never-before-
seen content and elevated storytelling."
Only available to US consumers, the app focuses on getting
sneaker lovers
fair and quick access to highly desirable Adidas products.
It targets consumers who want a
personalized
digital experience when shopping for sneakers.
The app is geared towards the drop dates of exclusive products. Its main aim is to ensure that "
sneaker heads
never miss a drop."
CONFIRMED mainly
targets
young men.
SNKRS
Nike launched its SNKRS app
the same week
Adidas' CONFIRMED app was released.
The app was created for
sneaker heads
, specifically those interested in limited shoe series and special products like its basketball series.
SNKRS also focuses on offering users a personalized
digital
experience
The main way SNKRS differs from CONFIRMED is that it allows users to shop anytime, not only on
product release dates.
Nike reported in 2019 that SNKRS has become its latest way to "game supply and
demand of hyped products."
Nike recently unveiled plans to target more women by launching
apparel
and items for this demographic.
Surprisingly, a significant share of SNKRS app users in areas like New York City "live in
Dominican-based neighborhoods."
Armed with this data, Nike recently released an ad campaign for a shoe called De Lo Mio Air Force 1, which targets Dominicans. The shoe instantly sold out.
SUMMARY
The first hour of research was spent highlighting any differences between CONFIRMED and SNKRS app users. Both Nike and Adidas target sneaker heads with these apps. However, while Nike is targeting a diverse demographic
-
as evidenced by the fact that it markets to women and Dominicans in the US, Adidas has remained focused on men who are sneaker head.
Both Nike and Adidas have not released any data on who exactly uses their CONFIRMED and SNKRS app and the non-sneakers related interests/habits of these users. This information has also not been provided by publications.
