Frequently Asked Questions

SneakersBook is a free sneaker collection management platform that helps collectors track their sneakers, monitor estimated market values from aggregated pricing data, analyze portfolio performance with profit-and-loss analytics, and connect with other collectors through public profiles. The web platform is live now, with iOS and Android mobile apps currently in development.

SneakersBook aggregates estimated market value data from multiple third-party pricing sources. When you add a sneaker to your collection, the platform looks up available pricing data and presents an estimated current market value along with a confidence level that indicates how reliable the data is. Higher confidence means multiple sources agree on pricing, while lower confidence indicates limited data availability. All values are estimates and should not be treated as guaranteed sale prices.

You can start using SneakersBook for free and upgrade to Pro at any time.

After creating a free account, navigate to your collection and use the Add Sneaker feature. You can search for sneakers by name, style code, or brand.

Exports are useful for insurance documentation, personal records, and sharing with other collectors.

SneakersBook is currently available as a web platform that works on both desktop and mobile browsers. Native iOS and Android mobile apps are currently in development.

SneakersBook provides estimated market values by aggregating data from multiple third-party pricing sources. Each valuation includes a confidence level indicating data reliability. Values with high confidence mean multiple sources agree, while lower confidence indicates limited available data. These are estimates and not guaranteed sale prices. Market values fluctuate based on supply, demand, and other factors. Collectors should independently verify values before making financial decisions.

SneakersBook automatically calculates profit and loss for each sneaker in your collection by comparing your recorded purchase price against the current estimated market value. Your dashboard shows total portfolio value, overall profit/loss percentage, and per-sneaker performance. The analytics section provides deeper insights including value trends over time, best-performing sneakers, and portfolio distribution breakdowns.
