How Search Works

Sneaker Search Engine queries live marketplace prices from GOAT, StockX, Flight Club, and eBay in real time. No inflated estimates, no algorithm-gamed rankings. Here's exactly how it works.

01

You search. We query live marketplaces.

When you type a shoe name, we query GOAT, StockX, Flight Club, and eBay simultaneously for live marketplace prices. Results are returned sorted by lowest price first so you can immediately see where to buy cheapest. Each shoe is shown once, never one card per listing, with a side-by-side price comparison across all platforms.

02

Trends are ranked by engagement.

The Trending Now feed ranks sneakers by a proprietary Trend Score built from social engagement signals. Recent activity carries more weight than older activity, so the feed reflects what's happening now. A shoe gaining momentum today will always rank above one that peaked weeks ago.

03

Prices refresh with every search.

Marketplace prices are fetched live via API with every search. There is no stale cache. Every time you search, you get the current asking price on GOAT, StockX, Flight Club, and eBay. Prices may still vary slightly at the time of purchase due to size availability and real-time inventory changes on each platform.

04

We never inflate or manufacture data.

There are no sponsored placements and no paid rankings. We don't receive compensation to surface one marketplace over another. Some links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you buy through them at no extra cost to you. That is disclosed clearly and has zero effect on sort order.

Questions? We're building this in the open.
