Hollow Proxies

Hollow Proxies is a sneaker-first proxy provider that sells dedicated datacenter and residential IPs purpose-built for copping limited releases on Shopify stores, US Footsites, Supreme, Yeezy, Adidas, Nike SNKRS, and other high-friction sneaker platforms. It is not a general-purpose scraping vendor in the mold of Bright Data or Oxylabs — it is a niche bot-community provider where the dashboard, plan names (HollowVoid, HollowPremium, HollowISP), and server locations are tuned around drop calendars rather than enterprise data extraction.

On the network side, Hollow Proxies splits its offering into two pools. Datacenter proxies run on dedicated servers advertised at 100Gbps with unlimited bandwidth, optimized for proximity to major sneaker site origins so request latency stays low during checkout windows. The residential pool is described by Hollow Proxies as ISP-tied peer nodes that rotate per task, so each new monitor hit or checkout attempt grabs a fresh IP — useful when a site flags or queue-bans an address mid-drop. Geographic coverage is centered on the United States, the EU, and the UK, which is where most cook-group activity lives; this is not a provider you would pick if you need 195 countries with city-level granularity worldwide.

Pricing is per-plan rather than per-GB on the datacenter side, and per-GB on residential. Public review data points to HollowVoid residential around $30/GB and HollowPremium residential around $32/GB, with HollowPremium adding geo-targeting that HollowVoid lacks. Datacenter plans (HollowISP and HollowISP Premium tiers) are sold monthly, weekly, and daily — handy if you only need IPs for a specific drop weekend — with the Premium tier sitting roughly twelve dollars above the standard tier. Prices change frequently around release calendars, so confirm current numbers on the Hollow Proxies dashboard before buying. Refunds are generally not offered once IPs are issued, which is standard for the sneaker-proxy category.

Standout features are practical rather than flashy: fast account activation (hours, not days, which matters when a drop is on Saturday), user/pass and IP authentication on datacenter nodes, responsive support via Discord and X/Twitter, and site-locked subpools dedicated to specific retailers. The Hollow Proxies team is active in cook-group channels, which is the real customer-support channel for this segment — ticket SLAs do not matter as much as someone responding on Discord during a drop.

Hollow Proxies is the right pick if you are a sneaker reseller, a cook-group member, or a botter running AIO, Cybersole, Wrath, NSB, or similar software and you want IPs tuned for known sneaker endpoints. It is the wrong pick if you are doing SERP scraping, ad verification at scale, market research crawling, or anything that needs a 100M+ rotating residential pool with country granularity — in those cases Decodo, Oxylabs, Bright Data, or Webshare are stronger fits. On the price-quality curve, Hollow Proxies sits in the mid-to-premium sneaker tier: more expensive per GB than general-purpose residential, but the per-site optimization is what you are paying for.

Limitations to know up front: the pool is not transparent in size, so you are trusting reputation rather than a public IP count; the brand is small and community-driven, meaning documentation and integrations with Playwright/Scrapy/n8n are not a focus (sneaker bots are the assumed client); and outside of sneaker-adjacent use cases, you will likely find the per-GB residential pricing uncompetitive versus mainstream providers.
