GOAT

Amazingly clean design.

Hey there Product Hunt! When I was 10, I owned a pair of OG Air Jordan 5 Grapes while playing organized basketball. 20 years later, I was feeling a bit nostalgic about them and decided to buy them again on eBay. Long story short, they ended up being fake and it was extremely upsetting. It made me look at the sneaker industry as a whole, and with my co-founder we realized we could make things a lot safer, simpler and more affordable. Safer We standardize photos from the sellers. They are required to take 7 in app photos at the angles we ask for. For a limited time, all sneaker purchases are sent to GOAT HQ free of charge where they are authenticated by our in-house sneaker specialist, then shipped out to the end buyer. Simpler You can currently search from 15,000 (and growing) sneakers in our database and see if they are for sale. If they aren't, you can enter in your shoe size and a push notification will be sent to you once available for purchase. More Affordable Our commissions are the lowest in the game at 9.5% vs. eBay+Paypal at 13% and Flight Club at 20%. Not only will sellers take home more, but we hope this will drive down the prices for the buyers as well. This is just the beginning. We are excited to keep iterating on the product. Feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

A very obvious question has no answer on the landing page. What sort of condition are these sneakers in? Can they be used? How used? Also, it seems like the focus is on basketball/sport/sneakers, is that accurate? Vs. casual shoes, loafers, etc.
