Lovenhall Shoe

The room where the house keeps its instrument for sneakers — a pair named from a photograph down to its colourway and year, graded for condition, and set against what it fetches. Indicative throughout; never an authentication.

Nº I · The Instrument

Shoe Scanner

Photograph a sneaker and the instrument names the brand, model and colourway, grades its condition from deadstock to worn, gives an original-or-replica reading with its confidence, and sets a resale estimate beside the retail and market price.

Brand, model, colourway and release year
A condition grade and an original-or-replica reading
A resale estimate beside retail and market

Free on iPhone & iPad. Any figure it gives is an estimate, not an appraisal.

What it reads, and what it cannot
Nº II · In the Hand

Three moves, and you have a figure

You photograph it. The instrument reads it. You know where you stand.

I

You photograph it

One photograph. Nothing to fill in, nothing to send away.

II

It reads what it sees

The reading happens there and then, on the phone.

III

You have a figure to work from

A range, in seconds — enough to know where you stand.

Nº III · Field Notes

On the reading of a pair

  • The style code on the label inside the tongue names one release — model and colourway together.
  • The same code, the size and the colourway appear on the label at the end of the box, and on a genuine pair they agree.
  • A photograph names the silhouette; the label names the pair.

Write about a pair

A pair the instrument could not place, a label that will not match its box, or a release the house should know about — the house is glad to hear it.
