Strategy by Size Category

Small Sizes (US 7-8.5)

Lower competition but also less stock. Key tactics:

  • • Enter raffles 15-30 min after opening for better odds
  • • Focus on women's releases (often more W sizes available)
  • • Monitor kids' sizes (GS) which sometimes fit smaller adults
  • • Check boutique stores that cater to Asian markets (better small size allocation)

Mid Sizes (US 9-10.5)

Most competitive range. Requires aggressive strategy:

  • • Enter raffles immediately when they open
  • • Have multiple accounts ready across different retailers
  • • Consider half-size up/down if desperate (check sizing guides)
  • • Use multiple devices for FCFS drops to maximize speed
  • • Join in-store raffles in addition to online entries

Large Sizes (US 11-14)

Moderate competition with decent stock. Smart approach:

  • • Target US-based releases (Americans wear larger sizes on average)
  • • Monitor restocks which often favor larger sizes
  • • Check Foot Locker family (FL, FTA, Champs) which stock more large sizes
  • • Be flexible with .5 sizes as large size buyers are more forgiving

Frequently Asked Questions

Do retailers receive equal size runs?

No. Major chains like Foot Locker receive broader size runs (US 7-14), while boutiques often get limited runs focused on popular sizes (9-11). Adidas.com typically has the most complete size range.

When do most restocks happen for sold-out sizes?

Cancelled orders are typically restocked 3-7 days after release date, usually between 6-10 AM EST. Random restocks can happen weeks or months later when warehouse stock is found.

Should I buy a different size and trade later?

Only if you're comfortable with resale/trading risk. Popular colorways in mid sizes (9-10.5) have better trade value, making them easier to swap for your size.

Are shock drops better for hard-to-get sizes?

Yes. Shock drops have less bot activity in the first 2-3 minutes, giving manual users a better chance at competitive sizes like US 10.

Do size runs differ between men's and women's releases?

Yes. Women's releases have more W5-W9 stock, which overlaps with men's small sizes. If you wear US M7-M8.5, check women's sizing (add 1.5 to men's size).

Which size sells out first on hyped releases?

US 10 almost always goes first, followed by 9.5 and 10.5. Sizes 7 and 13+ typically last longest.

Can I game the Confirmed App by entering unpopular sizes?

No. You must select your true size. Adidas checks order history and may cancel if you consistently flip sizes you don't wear.

Do EU sizes have different stock allocations?

Yes. EU focuses more on sizes 41-44 (US 8-10), while US allocates more to 10-12 range due to regional sizing trends.

How do I convert between sizing systems accurately?

Use our Size Guide - conversions aren't always linear, especially for half sizes. UK/EU sizing differs by model (Sambas vs Ultraboosts).

Are 'Friends and Family' sizes more limited?

F&F releases often skip extreme sizes entirely, focusing only on US 8-12. Stock per size is also drastically lower (50-200 pairs total globally).
