Nike's SNKRS app will soon move shopping for sneakers on the app partly into the real world.*

The app is adding augmented reality tech**logy for the drop of the Nike SB Dunk High Pro "Momofuku."*

App users have to find a copy of the menu for the New York restaurant Fuku, part of David Chang's Momofuku empire, online or even on the street in New York.
