Today during the process of trying to score either the Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective” or Air Jordan 3 “Infrared 23” you’d have notice Nike Store’s new photo verification step. During the purchase steps you were asked to match words to pictures in order to verify you were a real person and not a bot trying to checkout.

As of now there is no word on what other releases Nike Store will use their new photo verification process, but this is a good step to stop people from using sneaker bots. Let us know if your a fan of the new photo verification step in the comments?
