Background & Motivation

In 2019, my younger brother took up a hobby of purchasing and reselling highly-demanded, limited-stock shoes through online venues such as StockX, GOAT, and Grailed. At the height of the pandemic the following year, people were stuck at home, and this pastime of reselling sneakers grew to a frenzy, with people hyped for the next drops and looking to turn a hot profit on their latest purchases. I began to get interested in this increasingly-popular movement, helping my brother manage his inventory of shoes and learning more about the sneaker reselling market.

As we expanded our inventory and looked to acquire more shoes, I realized there wasn't really any free, readily-available tools to help aspiring shoe resellers (and casual buyers looking to cop their favorite pair of sneakers) find and keep track of the latest drops. Hence, the birth of GodspeedPage. A comprehensive web platform designed to help sneaker enthusiasts identify drop dates for shoes they're looking to cop. It also provides useful market data (similar to those for stocks) to enable shoe resellers to spot their next favorable sneaker resell.
