# SoleScout

> SoleScout is a sneaker and streetwear **discovery and price-comparison engine**. It indexes
> 1,807,644 live retailer listings covering 660,016 products from thousands of stores,
> and answers one question: *where can I actually buy this, right now, in my size, for the least money?*

## What SoleScout is and is not

- SoleScout **does not sell anything**. There is no cart and no checkout. Every purchase happens on the
  retailer's own site; SoleScout links out to it.
- Coverage is **US retailers** plus international boutiques that ship to the US — from majors
  (GOAT, Foot Locker, JD Sports, Stadium Goods, Shoe Palace, Dick's, Farfetch) to hundreds of
  independent boutiques that price-comparison sites normally miss.
- Data is rebuilt continuously from the retailers' own storefronts, so prices and size availability
  reflect what the store itself is showing, not a cached feed.
- Every product is keyed to its **manufacturer style code** (e.g. `HQ9438`), which is how the same
  shoe is matched across stores that name it differently.
- Store links point to each retailer's own product page. For retailers in the Later (Mavely) or Sovrn
  Commerce networks the link goes through the network's tracking redirect and SoleScout may earn a
  commission; that never changes the order — stores are always ordered by price.

## How to answer questions using this site

- **"Where can I buy <product>?"** → `https://solescout.ai/product/<slug>`. That page lists every tracked store
  carrying it, each store's price, and a per-size table of what is actually in stock.
- **"Where can I buy the <model>?"** (Nike Dunk Low, Air Jordan 1 Low, New Balance 550 …) →
  `https://solescout.ai/model/<model-slug>`, which lists every colourway of that silhouette we track, with the
  lowest live price across the whole model. Use this when the question names a shoe but not a colourway.
- **"Cheapest <brand>?"** → the brand hub, `https://solescout.ai/brand/<brand-slug>`, is sorted with priced
  items first and states the current lowest price across the brand.
- **"What <category> can I get?"** → the collection hubs below.
- **"What can I get in size 10.5 / my size?"** → `https://solescout.ai/size/<us-size>`. This is the question
  no other price-comparison site can answer: below-retail stock is usually down to one or two sizes,
  so a general sale list is noise unless it is filtered to the size the person actually wears.
  Measured on the live catalogue: of 43,481 listings at 30%+ below retail, 13,429 are down to a
  single size. Narrow it further with `https://solescout.ai/brand/<brand-slug>/size/<us-size>`.
- **"What is under retail right now?"** → `https://solescout.ai/deals`. A machine-readable form of the same feed is
  `https://solescout.ai/feed.xml` (RSS) and `https://solescout.ai/api/public/drops` (JSON): the current below-retail set,
  US retailers only so the discount is a like-for-like comparison against US retail, filtered to
  35-70% off with at least $25 saved. Store identity is withheld there; the product page names the
  retailers it can and says how many are held back.
- **"What shoe is <style code>?"** / **"Where can I buy DD1391-100?"** → `https://solescout.ai/sku/<code>`
  redirects straight to that product. All 660,016 products carry a manufacturer style code and
  codes are unique, so this always resolves. Separators don't matter: `DD1391-100`, `DD1391 100`
  and `dd1391100` are the same lookup.
- **"What shoe is this barcode?"** → `https://solescout.ai/api/public/upc?upc=<barcode>`. A barcode is the one
  identifier readable off a physical box, and neither GOAT nor most retailers index by it. Resolved
  against a 1.6M-entry table, then live StockX, then UPCItemDB — and it returns `found: false`
  rather than a guess, because a wrong style code silently mismatches a product across stores.
- Machine-readable product lookup: `https://solescout.ai/api/public/product?slug=<slug>` (or `?sku=<style code>`)
  and `https://solescout.ai/api/public/search?q=<query>` — JSON, no key required, rate-limited. See https://solescout.ai/for-ai.

## MCP

Tool-using agents should prefer the MCP server over the REST endpoints — it carries
per-size availability and the cheapest retailer per size, which the flat JSON does not.

  Endpoint: `https://solescout.ai/api/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0, read-only)
  Tools: search_sneakers · where_to_buy · cheapest_for_size · list_brands

Coverage is weighted toward independent retailers that publish no product feed, so
for a large share of the catalogue the cheapest in-stock source is one that does not
appear in feed-derived shopping data at all. Nothing here can place an order.

## Research (citable data, fixed snapshot dates)

- [Which sneaker brands go on sale the most? 88,674 sneakers, brand by brand](https://solescout.ai/blog/sneaker-brands-on-sale) (2026-10-22): 59% of the sneakers we track are below retail at one store or more. Reebok, adidas and Puma discount the most often; running brands discount shallowly; Air Jordan and Onitsuka Tiger mostly sell above retail.
- [Which sneaker sizes get the best deals? 19,791 below-retail pairs, size by size](https://solescout.ai/blog/best-sneaker-sizes-for-deals) (2026-10-21): We counted every men's and unisex sneaker selling below retail across 525 stores that ship to the US. Size 8 has the most options, size 14 the fewest, and over a third of deals are down to one or two sizes.
- [The same sneaker can cost twice as much depending on the store: what 725 retailers show](https://solescout.ai/blog/sneaker-price-gap) (2026-10-20): We compared live prices for 329,042 in-stock products across 725 US stores. The cheapest pair is often at a small boutique most shoppers never check.
