About Us
SneakerPing was born from a simple truth: finding the right pair at the right price shouldn't feel like a full-time job. We built a tool that does the hunting for you—so you can spend more time wearing your kicks, not refreshing browser tabs.
Our Mission
Help sneaker lovers score the pairs they want—at prices they're happy to pay—by turning market noise into clear, timely alerts.
Our Story
It started in our house, the night another "sold out" screen hit refresh.
Patrick McCarthy, a long-time sneaker collector and advertising technology leader, kept missing fair-price opportunities on the pairs he was hunting for his sneaker collection. Having to look across multiple marketplaces, shifting prices, and being interested in so many different sneaker models…it was easy to blink and miss the right sneaker at the right price. So he teamed up with his technology-talented son, Caiden, to fix the problem for good.
Together, we turned that frustration into SneakerPing: a simple, fast way to track the sneakers you want and get notified when they hit your target price or come back in stock.
