CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more vs StockX
For users prioritizing exclusive drops and direct brand purchases, CONFIRMED is better, while StockX is the stronger choice for those seeking a wider variety of resale items and a more traditional shopping experience.
CONFIRMED, from Adidas, offers exclusive sneaker and apparel drops directly from the brand, but users report issues with app navigation, raffle systems, and customer service. StockX provides a vast marketplace for resale items, though it faces criticism for high fees, shipping delays, and customer support.
Head to head
You are primarily interested in purchasing exclusive Adidas sneakers and apparel directly from the brand and its collaborations R14R17. You prioritize getting new drops and don't mind navigating a less intuitive app interface or the raffle system's quirks R2.
You are looking for a wide variety of resale sneakers and other items, including rare and hard-to-find releases . You are comfortable with a marketplace model and are willing to pay potential higher fees for access to a vast inventory .
Evidence note: Both apps are free to download, so there is no free-vs-paid asymmetry. The reviews for both apps show a mix of positive experiences regarding product quality and selection, but significant negative feedback regarding app functionality, customer service, and specific operational issues (raffles for CONFIRMED, fees/shipping for StockX).

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R4] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Going downhill: What happened to adidas? All there stuff seems to be huge and weird lately. Do awkwardly fitting. And the stores are looking junky! This app is touch and go at most. Can’t seem to find decent items anymore.
- [R6] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more I really don’t see the hype: I just don’t get the excitement. The app is slow, hard to navigate, and I have more luck finding new drops searching google. Will the moon boot sneakers ever come out? They’re not even in the soon section. The soon section doesn’t have anything cool. I just don’t get it
- [R14] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Exclusive: The only place to trust & buy exclusive hottest kicks by your favorite artists!
- [R17] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Wild Looks: There are some wild looking shoes and apparel on this app. It’s cool to look through, lots of designer collabs. I’ve bought several sneakers and a bunch of shirts from Confirmed. Really enjoy it.
- [R2] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Great store front: Super content and great to see all the colabs! However. You need to have a search bar or at least a stopping point for OG Sambas.
- [R3] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Could also be better: I miss adidas blue wish the community knew it was leaving on the site , plus the new design looks boring to navigate
- [R7] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Notifications: Almost never get notification of the shoes that I like… I miss the event
- [R10] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Horrible: I entered a raffle and they took the money out right away and right after I lost i thought they would release my funds and no, I have 2 weeks waiting for them to release my funds talking about they hold it for 7 to 14 days smh and I have called customer care care 3 times and they tell me the same thing
- [R13] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Scam App: They charge for entering a draw and in even if you don’t win they hold your money for weeks on end. The Nike Snkr refunds your money immediately if you’re not selected. It’s CLEAR THAT THIS A NEW WAY THEY FOUND TO TAKE PEOPLE’S MONEY AND INVEST IT OR USE IT HOWEVER THEY DEEM FIT WITHOUT PROVIDING A PRODUCT
- [R16] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Trash: I entered for a pair and they charged my card. I didn’t win which is fine but I got no notification and they’re still holding the money.
- [R24] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Raffle results: Every time I enter an Adidas raffle I never win. I feel like it’s rigged and I buy so much stuff from adidas and yes, I have read first come first serve no bots etc. etc. I just feel like it’s rigged and every time we go for an exclusive I never get that either the way your dealers does stuff now they need to change because I’m not a reseller I wear my shoes. Edwin-
- [R66] StockX Help improve: I’m asking for StockX to employer on applying a cart for items so you can shop multiple items at once also if you have a large favorites it crashes every time you try to look through your favorites and there are no set text for shopping. Each one is different and the taxes are horrendous with ranging up to $30.
- [R1] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Mike: I bought an item that was too large. I requested a return. I was told I was going to get a shipping return label emailed to me. I am still waiting and I’ve never received it.
- [R39] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Return problems: Return or exchange process don’t work out n app
- [R40] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Extremely disappointed: The return page is not able to proceed and really slowly. Not able to return item. Poor user experience.
- [R43] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Pésimo servicio: Compré dos pares de zapatos desde abril 18 2025 seguí las instrucciones de devoluciones se demoraron un mes los zapatos en la portería del edificio decían que ya pasaban a recogerlo y nunca lo hacían me tuve que poner en tono de exigencia para que lo hicieran logrando que esto sucediera desde junio que los recogieron a el día de hoy estoy solicitando el reembolso de mi dinero y n
- [R19] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾: Haven’t been able to log in and join in on exclusive releases. Called the contact number and they were NO HELP AT ALL. I’m trying to get the Jellyfish Adidias by Pharrell but the app is ruining that.
- [R31] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Can’t search: This app is probably fine if you’re not looking for anything in particular, but it’s awful if you downloaded it because you saw a Confirmed-only item on the website. You can’t search the catalog like a normal shopping app, so my initial excitement about some sneakers has turned into frustration. The order I was going to place has become a lost sale. It’s lose/lose for everyone.
- [R51] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Like a regular shopping app but worse: I downloaded this to find a shoe that’s supposedly only available on this app - can’t find it and can’t search for it to find if it’s out of stock or if I’m just not seeing it. Instead I guess I’ll leave this 1-star review and not buy any shoes from Adidas today.
- [R53] CONFIRMED | Sneakers & more Lame: Can’t even search for what you want, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!
- [R75] StockX A little: Expensive 140 to 173 in fees
- [R78] StockX Medio: Precios buenos pero a la hora de pagar por el producto te aumenta demasiado la tarifa, un ejemplo es unos tenis cuestan 100 pero con envío, inspection, etc, el total acaba siendo casi 140-160.
- [R79] StockX Shipping is slow: My orders keep getting delayed and its not wven worth the price at that point, 15 dollars for shipping is crazy
- [R67] StockX Over priced, horrible customer service: No phone for customer service. Terrible or no follow up.
- [R81] StockX No customer service: I’ve bought and sold on here a couple of times. Happy with my purchases but selling isn’t easy. Kept getting pestered to despatch goods and advised sale would be cancelled even though I’d already dropped them with UPS (their chosen courier). On the help page, the chat button and ‘contact us’ buttons don’t work and there is no email address or phone number displayed. Basicall
- [R91] StockX No help at all: Placed an order for a jersey and used Apple Pay to make the checkout seamless but did not realize the address on my Apple Pay was the address to a house I no longer reside in. Nonetheless I take complete responsibility for that mistake but I tried to contact customer service immediately after and was told there was absolutely nothing that could be done, not change the address or ev
- [R106] StockX Customer Service Terrible: Do not buy from this website . They won’t help you find your order . My shoes never came in when they said they would . Still not product . They do not respond when you ask them questions . You only get AI bots . Do business with someone else . Save yourself a giant headache .
