# Manual Creation Guide

**Browser**

Virtually any browser works for this process, though you’ll want to use a browser that allows the ability to switch your IP through either a built-in application or an extension you can add. For the purpose of this guide, it’s recommended you use Chrome or Brave as these browsers are used the most in bots.

**Proxy**

To create many accounts it’s recommended to use a different IP address for each creation as this will have the least chances of Nike automatically flagging an account. Though you may be able to create accounts without swapping your IP every time, it’s good practice to keep everything 1:1 when it comes to accounts:proxies. ISPs are recommended for this process as they’re both faster and more reliable than residential proxies.

**Proxy Switcher**

There are various proxy switching applications and extensions you can use to switch your IP address after each account is created. Two trustworthy extensions typically used are:

* [BP Proxy Switcher](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bp-proxy-switcher/bapeomcobggcdleohggighcjbeeglhbn?hl=en)
* [Proxy Switcher and Manager](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-switcher-and-manage/onnfghpihccifgojkpnnncpagjcdbjod?hl=en)

**Email Verification**

Sourcing your email accounts to use for Nike botting is a simple but necessary step as each account creation requires a verification sent by email. Whether you purchase or create your own emails for account creation, it’s crucial you have access to the inbox to solve this verification as well as for any future potential password resets. It’s recommended to avoid using catchalls as they can easily be flagged if the domain appears too frequently.

**SMS Verification**

Similar to email verification, Nike also requires an SMS verification on your account to be able to enter for most drops, specifically SNKRS. Note that SMS verification is not required for Nike App/Desktop drops, however it’s recommended to have a verified phone number on each account for better chances at winning draws. Each account must use a different phone number on the account or it will be easily filtered, this is solved by using a third party SMS service such as:

* [Text Verified](https://www.textverified.com/) ($0.50 per verification)
* [SMS-Man](https://sms-man.com/) ($0.19 per verification)

**Creation Process**

Once you have all of the above resources required to create accounts (Supported browser, proxy switcher application/extension, proxies, emails, SMS service) you’re ready to begin the creation process.

1. With the proxy switching application/extension of your choice, insert your first IP.
2. On the browser of your choice open three tabs to the following:\
   \- chrome://settings/clearBrowserData | brave://settings/clearBrowserData\
   \- <https://www.nike.com/membership>\
   \- <https://whatismyipaddress.com/>
3. Ensure your browser’s proxy is changed by refreshing the IP checker website. This new IP should be under the IPv4 section.
4. On the Nike membership page, click the black “Join Us” button and insert your email address in the box section and click continue.
5. You should now be on the “Let’s make you a Nike Member” page. Login to your email you used to sign up with and insert the 8 digit number in the designated box. This code will expire after 15 minutes.
6. Insert the password, first name, and last name you’ll want to use on the account. Note that your password can be the same for each account, though if you’d like a separate password ensure you’re keeping track of this information.
7. Choose a “Shopping Preference” and “Date of Birth” for the account, this can be completely random as it will not affect your winning chances. Check the box to agree to Nike’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and click the black Create Account button.
8. Once you’re logged into the account, head to the account settings page found at <https://www.nike.com/member/settings>. You may fill in information within the “Location” boxes on the bottom of the page, though this isn’t proven to affect winning chances.
9. On the right of the “Phone Number” section under your account password, click the “Add” button.
10. On your SMS provider tab, locate the option for a Nike verification and insert the phone number provided in the box on Nike, click the tab to agree to receive a message and click the black “Send Code” button.
11. Once the code is received to the SMS provider, insert the 6 digit number into the text box and click the black “Done” button.
12. On the top right on Nike where your name is located, click the “Log out” button from the dropdown menu and close the Nike tab.
13. On your browser’s settings tab, clear all data from the last hour which can be changed from 24 Hours under the “Time range” dropdown menu.
14. Within the proxy switching application/extension of your choice, replace the previous IP with a fresh one in its place.
15. Repeat the following steps until you’ve reached the amount of accounts you require.

**Common Errors**

Throughout this process you may find yourself running into a few errors, these can all be easily solved with solutions provided under each potential problem.

**SMS Code Not Being Sent / Number Already Used**

Though SMS verification services promise unique numbers for your codes to be sent to, occasionally old phone numbers or non-working numbers get cycled in. Unfortunately the only solution to this would be to report the number as non-working and attempt to use a new one. Please note this may still charge you depending on the service you’re using.

**Nike “Error Parsing Response”**

When Nike provides this error code they will block you from continuing on with your account creation or not allow you to begin in the first place. This error can arise from a few different things including a flagged proxy, flagged browser cookies, or flagged browser session. To remedy this error you should first assume it’s your browser over your proxies. Log out or exit out of Nike and clear your browser data again through your browser settings. You may also try to attempt using a different user profile on your browser, or separate browser completely. If the following solutions don’t work, your proxy is likely being flagged from Nike. You may try to browse around the site to get more cookies and trust, though if this still doesn’t work try swapping to a new proxy to see if this solves the issue.

**Nike Countdown Timer**

Occasionally if you’re browsing/going through the creation steps too fast Nike will insert a 30 second countdown timer within a step of the process. This typically doesn’t happen too often, though if it keeps occurring for each account creation consider clearing your browser data, swapping to a new user profile, or swap browsers completely.
