Okay, so listen up, because I’m gonna dive headfirst into this whole Adidas Confirmed app situation, specifically the… sketchy? …world of faking your location. I’ve been lurking on Reddit (shoutout to r/SneakersCanada, r/privacy, and r/adidas – y’all are the real MVPs) and it’s a veritable treasure trove of info, especially when it comes to bending the rules.
First things first, why even *bother* with a fake GPS on Confirmed? Well, duh, it’s all about that sweet, sweet Yeezy drop. I mean, who *doesn’t* want a pair? But seriously, from what I can gather, people use these apps to try and snag releases that are region-locked, or maybe even to just game the system and increase their chances. Apparently, if Adidas *thinks* you’re in a high-demand area, you might just get a leg up. Or, you know, it’s just a load of old codswallop, who knows? It’s the internet, after all!
Now, how do you actually DO it? Well, the consensus seems to be that Android devices are your best bet. Apparently, there are a bunch of fake GPS apps out there that you can download and use to spoof your location. But be warned! This feels kinda sus to me, and I’m not sure Adidas is gonna be too thrilled if they catch you. I mean, they’re a big company, they probably have some fancy algorithms that can sniff out the fakers. Plus, I’ve seen people on r/SneakersCanada getting their orders delayed (or even cancelled!) so maybe it’s not worth the risk, eh?
And speaking of delays, it sounds like even if you *do* cop a pair, you’re not necessarily out of the woods. Some poor souls on Reddit are complaining about their Yeezys being stuck in “shipping” limbo for, like, *weeks*. Seriously, 15 days? That’s insane! I’d be losing my mind. Makes you wonder if they’re just messing with us.
Honestly, the whole thing feels kinda… fraught. Like, is it really worth the effort of faking your location, potentially getting banned, and then still waiting ages for your shoes? Maybe, maybe not. Depends how badly you want those Yeezys, I guess.
On a totally different note (and because my brain is wandering, sue me), someone on r/adidas was talking about their old Sambas. Man, those were the days! I had a pair of Superstars back in ’07 that I practically lived in. They were so beat up by the end, but I couldn’t bear to part with them. Maybe that’s the real lesson here: forget the fancy drops and just rock what you love.
