If sneakers are your thing, LaceUpLive is the West Coast Deals channel built entirely around them. It's a daily live auction where you'll find shoes and clothing like Nike, adidas, Converse and Vans — and like the rest of our network, most items start at just $1. You watch the shoe on camera, bid in real time, and the pair ships to you authenticated. Here's what to expect.
Which brands and models you'll find
LaceUpLive centers on the four names that never leave rotation: Nike, adidas, Converse and Vans. On the Vans side, that means you might find classics people search by name — the Old Skool and the resurgent Knu Skool — plus skate staples. Converse brings the Chuck Taylor in every form: low tops, high tops and even knee-high styles. adidas Originals like the Samba and Gazelle come through, and Nike ranges from everyday trainers to running shoes. Apparel drops in too — hoodies, tees and track tops. One thing to keep in mind: every stream is a live, random pull, so no two are the same and nothing specific is guaranteed on a given night — these are the kinds of finds that come through, not a set list. Following the channel is the only way to catch a specific model when it does.
Do the shoes run true to size?
It depends on the brand, which is exactly why we host live — you can ask before you bid. As a rule, Vans and Converse run long, so many people size down a half; adidas Originals tend to run a touch narrow. We've written the fit out in detail if you want to plan ahead: see our do adidas run small guide and the Samba sizing breakdown. Knowing your size across brands is the single best way to win with confidence on a live stream.
White sneakers, platforms and everyday pairs
Beyond the hype models, the streams are a great place to find the pairs people wear daily — clean white sneakers, black everyday trainers, and the platform styles that keep trending in women's. Because you're bidding from a $1 start, these wardrobe staples routinely go well under retail when they turn up.
Why $1 starts work for sneakers
A $1 start means the room decides what a pair is worth, not a fixed sticker. For sneakers that's ideal — demand sets the price live, and patient viewers routinely land pairs well under retail. Buy-it-now items are there when you'd rather skip the auction. Either way, every pair is checked in-house in Portland, Oregon and sent Verified & Shipped, so "cheap" never means "questionable."
