Best Android Apps for Sneakerheads: Here Are 5

Sneakers used to be just sports shoes that were mainly worn by young people, but now they have become a status symbol. If you have Albert Heijn-Nikes at your feet, you are guaranteed to get compliments. Did you manage to get your hands on NERD shoes from Adidas? A post on Instagram will give you hundreds of likes. In short, the world is under the spell of sneakers and if you have a sneaker freak, these are five apps to install on your smartphone.

StockX: Buy & Sell Authentic

StockX is the ideal app to keep an eye on how a particular sneaker is doing on the market. Especially if you are not yet a seasoned sneaker collector, StockX is your bible to get a better feel for the value of a shoe. In this app you can see, among other things, how much the shoes usually sell for, so that you have a bit more of a nose for what shoes can afford if you can handle keeping them in the box and selling them years later. But if you really like sneakers, then of course you want to collect them. You can also do this conveniently via StockX, because just about every shoe that has ever existed can be found on it, including information about the damage the shoes will do to your bank account.

Nike SNKRS

Major sports brands such as Adidas and Nike are making such a fuss about the launch of new shoes that they have both created separate apps especially for sneakerheads in addition to their regular shop apps.

You can find those from Nike under the name SNKRS and here you can sign up to be kept informed about the launch of a shoe, among other things. Often new shoes come online in the morning for which there is a ‘lottery’ for fifteen minutes. You then participate for a chance to buy the shoe. Nike’s works like a charm: it is advisable to fill in your profile as completely as possible, so that you can always take action on lotteries and other launches as quickly as possible.

CONFIRMED

What Nike can do, Adidas can do too. It has an app called CONFIRMED, where you can be the first to know when another new shoe with three stripes on the side is announced. CONFIRMED also works with lots, so you have to hope that you are one of the lucky few who can actually buy the shoes. Here too it is useful to fill in your profile as completely as possible, so that you can quickly take action when a nice shoe is out again.

sneaker hunters

Sneakerjagers is a Dutch app that helps you see the forest for the trees. This app keeps track of when certain new shoes appear and where. For example, some shoes come out at an online shoe store at a different time than at Nike itself, giving you several chances to get that one coveted pair.

Be careful though, because once you start scrolling through the available shoes within Sneakerjagers, you can end up in a whole spiral of fantastic pairs. So, if you are actually looking for one specific set of sneakers.

unboxed

If you collect sneakers, you also want to keep track of which ones you already have. Unboxed is a bit like the Untappd of sneakers. Here you can keep track of which shoes you still want, which you already have and it is possible to share your collection with others.

You can make notes for each shoe, but it is also possible to fill in the form with the condition of the shoe, whether it was worn and where you got it from and for what amount. Very handy, because going through all those shoe boxes every time is something like that, although: for the real enthusiasts that is of course no punishment.
