PHILADELPHIA Nov. 12, 2025 -- Today, SNIPES US , a leading global sneaker and streetwear retailer, announced the launch of "SNIPES Reserve," a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that transforms how consumers earn, save, and access the most sought-after products and experiences in sneakers and streetwear. As consumers increasingly manage their money through digital wallets, SNIPES is bringing loyalty directly into that experience — making rewards as seamless and accessible as the purchase itself. Beyond traditional points-based programs, SNIPES Reserve introduces a first-of-its-kind digital wallet that rewards members with real cashback, pre-funding bonuses, and early access to limited releases and events. "At SNIPES, our customers have always been at the heart of everything we do, and SNIPES Reserve is the next evolution of that commitment," says Martin Badour, SNIPES US President. "We're thrilled to offer our loyal community new and meaningful ways to interact with the brand they love, whether that's earning cashback on their purchases, gaining early access to the most coveted drops, or connecting with exclusive experiences. SNIPES Reserve isn't just a loyalty program - it's our way of saying thank you to the people who've made us leaders of streetwear culture for over 25 years." SNIPES Reserve introduces three industry-first features that set it apart from traditional retail loyalty programs: Cash Back, Not Points Members earn 3% cashback on eligible purchases - no conversions, no confusing point systems. Spend $100, get $3 back in real dollars that can be used immediately in-store or online. Earn While You Save In a first-to-market approach, members can prefund money into their SNIPES Reserve wallet through one-time or recurring contributions and earn 5% toward future SNIPES purchases. This innovative feature provides financial flexibility while rewarding members for planning their next purchase. Reserve the Heat First SNIPES Reserve members gain early access to the most coveted sneaker releases, including limited collaborations and exclusive holiday releases. For a chance for early access, members register their preferred size in the SNIPES app and, if selected, receive a text notification two days before the general release date, allowing them to reserve their pair before the general market. Access Beyond the Checkout SNIPES Reserve delivers more than product benefits - it unlocks exclusive experiences that connect members deeper into streetwear culture: Priority invitations to VIP events hosted by SNIPES Chief Creative Officer, DJ Khaled Ticket access through SNIPES' partnership with the Philadelphia 76ers First looks at SNIPES exclusive collections and global collaborations Exclusive access to launches and community events Snipes Reserve's crowdfunding tool also allows users to invite friends and family to contribute to their wallets, making it easier to reach goals together, whether it's for the holiday season, back-to-school shopping, or a big purchase. The SNIPES Reserve digital wallet is powered by Accrue, a payments and loyalty infrastructure platform redefining how merchants build and scale digital wallets. Accrue's technology connects stored value, cashback, and loyalty rewards into one unified system: driving customer retention and transaction growth through embedded financial experiences. SNIPES Reserve will be available in time for the holiday shopping season and some of the year's most anticipated sneaker releases. New members who download the SNIPES app and activate their digital wallet will receive $10 off their first purchase of $75 or more.
