Retailer Email & SMS Lists

Discord Restock Groups
Join free Discord servers that post restock links. Some charge monthly fees for premium channels with faster alerts.
Limitation: Manual checking required, alerts often too late
Browse a Restock Feed
The SneakerPing restock feed lists sneakers coming back in stock at shops like Kith, Undefeated, End., and Notre, plus consignment shops like Stadium Goods and Flight Club. Each listing shows whether the seller is a retailer or a marketplace, and the listed price.

A retail restock is one way to pay near retail. The other is the resale price falling toward retail, which often happens after a restock adds supply.
SneakerPing does not send restock alerts. It tracks the sneakers you pick on StockX, GOAT, and eBay and alerts you by email, SMS, or Discord when your target price is hit, the price swings sharply, hits a new low, or reverses trend. The free plan tracks 5 sneakers and the Collector plan tracks 100.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to get notified for sneaker restocks?
Use more than one source. Turn on SNKRS app notifications, join the email and SMS lists of the retailers you buy from, and follow sneaker news accounts. No single source catches every restock, especially unannounced shock drops.
How do I get notified when Jordans restock?
Enable notifications in the SNKRS app, sign up for Foot Locker, Finish Line, and Champs email and SMS lists, and follow sneaker news accounts. If you miss the restock, you can track the resale price on SneakerPing, which alerts you by email, SMS, or Discord when a Jordan reaches your target price on StockX, GOAT, or eBay. SneakerPing does not send restock alerts.
Does SNKRS notify you of restocks?
SNKRS app sends notifications for new releases but is inconsistent with restock alerts. Many restocks happen without notifications or as surprise shock drops, so pair it with retailer lists and sneaker news accounts.
How often do sold-out sneakers restock?
Restock frequency varies by model. General releases (like Panda Dunks) restock weekly or monthly. Limited releases restock sporadically, often weeks or months later. Hyped collaborations rarely restock.
Does SneakerPing send restock notifications?
No. SneakerPing does not send restock alerts. It tracks sneaker prices on StockX, GOAT, and eBay and alerts you by email, SMS, or Discord when your target price is hit, the price swings sharply, hits a new low, or reverses trend. The free plan tracks 5 sneakers and the Collector plan tracks 100. SneakerPing also has a browse-only restock feed at sneakerping.com/restocks that lists shops like Kith, Undefeated, and End. when a sneaker comes back in stock.
What time do SNKRS restocks happen?
SNKRS restocks can happen anytime, but often occur at 10:00 AM ET, 7:00 PM ET, or randomly throughout the day. Shock drops are unannounced, which is why app notifications alone miss some of them.
