"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From zero sneaker apps from the big-name manufacturers to two announcements in mere days.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the heels of Adidas announcing its Adidas Confirmed app, where sneaker lovers can go to reserve the most hyped sneakers coming from the German company, Nike has announced plans for its own app, SNKRS, with a limited launch this weekend in New York City and a full rollout later this spring, starting with iOS.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t&lt;strong&gt;MORE:&amp;nbsp;SI.com's 2015 NBA All-Star coverage: Rosters, schedules, more&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Nike SNKRS app will give buyers mobile access to the most premium Nike sneakers, including a catalog of men\u2019s and women\u2019s shoes and the popular franchises of Air Force 1, Air Max, Foamposite and Jordan, as well as Nike SB products.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200BUsers can personalize the app by selecting which franchises they want to follow and receive notifications of upcoming releases. Users can also purchase sneakers from within the app itself.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Along with the announcements and purchasing options, Nike says SNKRS will provide exclusive content with the \u201Cinside story\u201D on popular sneakers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Advance access to SNKRS is available at Nike\u2019s Zoom City SNKRS Station at the corner of 348 Bowery and Great Jones in New York City through the NBA's All-Star Weekend.
