At some point in each of our lives, there’s been a sneaker that stopped us in our tracks and was quickly sorted into the “must-have” in our brains. From Kanye Wests’ Adidas Yeezys’ and accent Nike pieces for dressed-up looks to exact right kicks to take a long run, major fashion brands always had an option that not only feels good but looks damn well too.

**[Sneaker Industry is projected to be worth $95.14 billion according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc.](https://www.grandviewresearch.com/press-release/global-athletic-footwear-market)** nearly doubling from its $55 billion dollar valuation in 2016, thanks to Gen-Zers and Millennials. The cachet of “cool factor” especially drives the secondary market of sneakers where resellers can earn a lot of money by supplying the demand of sneakers which identify with a specific athlete or hip hop star. Online retailers and individual resellers use multiple online avenues for business — eBay, Craigslist, GOAT, Facebook Marketplace and Stock X.

Given the competition in sneaker reselling business, entrepreneurs use **[best sneaker proxies](https://proxyway.com/best-sneaker-proxies)** and robust **[sneaker bots](https://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/04/27/sneaker-bots-how-do-they-work/)** for market analysis and instant purchase of undervalued Jordans, Air Max 72 Hot Lavas and Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Cloud Whites or to quickly detect whenever one of the top brands slashes prices on some of its kicks.

**What are sneaker proxies?**
In order to understand what sneaker proxies are we need to understand what Proxy server is first. In the IT world a **Proxy** is a server(in other words a computer-like device) that is doing the internet browsing on your behalf. For example, you need to change your IP address for one reason or another and you purchase a VPN or proxy subscription. When you connect to a proxy (or a VPN) and then visit any website, the following happens: You send your request to the server you’re connected to first and the server sends the request to the website later. Still can’t wrap your head around it? Check this screenshot out:

Sneaker proxies, in essence, are fast proxy servers designed for market analysis. Young entrepreneurs use multiple proxies at the same time with a bot in order to gather data about the pricing of sneakers faster than they would do by casually browsing.

There is fierce competition in the sneaker business and chances are very low that you will manage to find a pair of sneakers while browsing casually or buy a pair of limited edition sneakers manually without the help of a sneaker bot combined with proxies. You have to compete against people who enjoy buying sneakers they used to wear back in the ’90s. You need to consider that there are people with more money that travel between LA, New York, and Japan just to find their favorite sneaker pair. And last but definitely not least there are serious resellers that earn their living from hunting and reselling sneakers. They even hire brokers that give them leads about when Adidas [Yeezy](https://proxyway.com/guides/what-should-you-know-about-yeezy-proxies) Boost 350 V2 Hyperspace is going to come out for a lower than usual price.

Buying a sneaker proxy subscription for sneaker market research and a sneaker bot that will do the purchasing for you is the absolute minimum required if you want to at least try competing against the sharks in this business.

If you reside in Canada, you need to look for the best **sneaker proxies for Canada** in order to ensure that time is not wasted when establishing a connection to the proxy network. If you already did **[research](https://proxyway.com/guides/top-5-proxy-websites-ranked)** and purchased sneaker proxies that fit your needs, you need to get the **best sneaker bot that fits your proxies**. Sneaker bot must be just as good as a sneaker proxy network, because *you need to have a clean pair of socks in order to wear them Jordans, metaphorically speaking*.

There are **sneaker bot** and **sneaker proxy** **[subreddits](https://www.reddit.com/)** where people exchange information about their experience with certain sneaker proxy/sneaker bot providers. For additional information, there are many websites that conduct research of their own and share opinions in the form of **[blog posts](https://proxyway.com/guides/what-should-you-know-about-yeezy-proxies)** and Top5 reviews.

If you’re just starting out and don’t plan to crash the market by buying out all of the sneakers available for sale, you can start with as many as 10 proxies, however, there are providers that sell subscriptions that differ not on the number of proxies you can use but rather how much data you will consume. Check whether the proxy provider has customer support that is willing to help you in finding you what you need.
But most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy life first. If you’re lucky enough to be US resident revisit **Flight Club** or **Stadium Goods** and buy a pair of jordans by physically touching them first. Make sure that joy, not greed, is present at all times when hunting for sneakers.
