Sneaker Value Checker
Photograph a pair or scan the box label and FlipAI reads the brand, model, colourway and style code, then shows current eBay asking prices plus an AI estimate for that release.
Download FlipAI FreeHow the sneakers scan works
Take a photo of the item or scan its barcode if it has one. FlipAI reads the details that decide value in this category and prices the result against live eBay market listings. A scan takes about ten seconds.
- Brand, silhouette and model (Jordan 1, Dunk Low, Yeezy, New Balance 990)
- Colourway name and style code from the box label
- Size, which moves resale price significantly
- Condition — deadstock, VNDS or worn
Sneaker resale is driven by the style code and the size run. Two pairs of the same silhouette in different colourways can differ by ten times, and the same colourway swings by size, which is why guessing from the silhouette alone is unreliable.
FlipAI reads the style code when the box label is visible and falls back to photo identification when it is not, then prices against live market listings. Subtract platform fees before you buy — the free profit calculator does that in a few seconds.
What you keep after fees
A sold price is not profit. eBay takes around 13.25%, Poshmark 20%, Depop about 10%, and Mercari now charges sellers nothing. Run the numbers before you buy or list:

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check what sneakers are worth?
Scan the box label barcode or style code for the exact release, or photograph the pair itself. FlipAI returns a market price range for that model, colourway and condition.
Does size affect sneaker resale value?
Yes, substantially. Common sizes (US 9-11) usually sell fastest, while extreme sizes often sell for less on hyped releases and sometimes more on general releases.
Can it check used sneakers, not just deadstock?
Yes. Condition is factored in, and the range for worn pairs sits well below deadstock — creasing, sole wear and yellowing all matter.
Does FlipAI authenticate sneakers?
No. FlipAI prices sneakers against live market listings; it does not verify authenticity. For high-value pairs use a marketplace with authentication built in.
Is the sneaker value checker free?
Yes — 10 lifetime scans free with no credit card required.
