What’s up guys?! We created Arbit to give sneaker shoppers and collectors a better chance to buy exclusive sneakers for a FAIR PRICE. When we miss out on the latest Jordan and Travis Scott collaboration or Nike Kobe 6 Protro at retail, we want you to know what the right price is for you at resell. This week, we’re kicking off a multi-part series on “How to Buy Sneakers for a Fair Price.” Check out Part 1 below, and download Arbit today and shop fair prices! 👟

Arbit Sneaker Market Index (ASMI)

Average sneaker resell prices have been on a rollercoaster over the last month. Based on past trends, prices are likely to decline before picking back up in early Fall for back-to-school. We’ll monitor prices and flag any unexpected spikes.

Part 1. Look Up the Sneaker’s Fair Market Value, Then Compare to Live Prices

In order to buy sneakers for a fair price, it’s important to know what a “fair price” even is. Arbit’s algorithms answer that question. Our AI-generated fair market values are supported by a historical sales database going back over 11 years. We generate values for over 20,000 sneaker SKUs, with more added every day. So how does someone use our values to help them find a “fair price”?

First, open our app (iOS/Android), and search for the sneaker by name or SKU.

Quick Search by Sneaker Name or SKU

Then, select your shoe from the search results to reveal the Arbit Fair Market Value (what that sneaker is currently worth on the market) and 30-Day Price Forecast (whether the price is likely to go down, go up, or stay the same) for that sneaker. You can also find these insights for specific sizes by selecting a size in the dropdown.

AI-Driven Price Insights

Finally, compare the Arbit Fair Market Value and 30-Day Price Forecast with real-time prices in trusted marketplaces. Prices in green are FAIR. If you like a price, click on the marketplace directly from our app to purchase.

Don’t see a fair price? Use our insights to negotiate a lower price in the marketplace.

Live Prices on Trusted Marketplaces

Arbit is the only app that lets you pair fair market values with live prices to make sure you get a FAIR PRICE for your sneakers. 🤝
