Frequently asked questions
When is the best time of year to buy sneakers?
The best windows are end-of-season clearance, back-to-school, Black Friday, and post-holiday resets.
Do sneakers usually get cheaper during Black Friday and holiday sales?
Many retailers discount sneakers then, but you should still compare the baseline price and final total.
Should I wait for a sale or buy a sneaker restock?
