Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enter multiple regional raffles for the same drop?

Technically yes, but Adidas may cancel orders if they detect duplicate entries from the same payment method or shipping address. Use different accounts, cards, and addresses to minimize risk.

Which region has the best odds of copping?

APAC (especially Japan) often has better odds due to higher stock allocation relative to population, but shipping costs and import fees can be significant if you're not local.

Do regional releases differ in quality or sizing?

No. All Adidas products are manufactured to identical specifications regardless of region. Sizing and materials are consistent globally.

Why does Europe get some colorways that NA doesn't?

Regional marketing strategies and partnerships. Adidas tailors releases to local preferences, so EU might get football-themed collabs while NA gets basketball-focused releases.

Can I use a VPN to enter other region raffles?

Adidas can detect VPN usage and may ban your account. More importantly, you need a valid address and payment method in that region to complete checkout.

What time zone does the Confirmed App use?

Your device's local time zone. The app automatically adjusts raffle windows and release times based on your GPS location.

Are in-store releases synchronized with online drops?

Not always. In-store raffles often close 1-2 days before online releases, with pickup windows on official release day or day after.

Which platforms drop earliest globally?

Japan and Korea typically see releases 12-18 hours before NA. Australia/NZ follow 4-6 hours later, then EU, then NA last.

Do shock drops follow any timing pattern?

Yeezy Supply shock drops historically favor early mornings (6-9 AM EST) on weekdays, but they're intentionally unpredictable to prevent botting.

How do I find region-specific release calendars?

Follow regional Adidas social accounts, join local sneaker Discord servers, and use apps like Sole Retriever or J23 App with region filters enabled.
