Digital sneaker marketplace GOAT will be holding its highly-anticipated Black Friday event once again. Last year, 2017, GOAT offered up to $10,000 USD of purchasing credit and chances through raffles to buy coveted pairs like the  Off-White™ x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG and YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Semi Frozen Yellow” at retail price. This year, the company will be sweetening the pot a bit in addition to making the occasion a bit more fun using AR (Augmented Reality).

In addition to the credit prize and rare sneakers at retail price raffle, the renowned footwear commerce app will also offer chances to win free sneakers which include the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Shattered Backboard,” KAWS x Air Jordan 4 Retro Black, Pharrell x BBC x NMD Human Race Trail “Heart/Mind” and more. Exclusive, sneaker packs curated by renowned musicians and celebrities will also be offered.

Winning these prizes are quite simple if you already have the GOAT App. All participants begin with 100 tickets. The more tickets you have, the better your chances are at winning. In order to get more tickets, GOAT has included fun location-specific activations using AR & AR 3D objects which was developed by Apple’s ARKit. All users have to do is share these discovered AR objects to social media to obtain more tickets.
