Is there a browser extension that actually tracks Nike price history properly? I'm trying to grab some Jordan 1s for my brothers birthday next month and my budgets like $150 max so I really need to know if the price is gonna drop soon or if this is the lowest it gets.

I've been looking at Honey and Karma but honestly Honey feels like it only cares about coupons and half the time they dont even work on the Nike site. Karma seems okay for alerts but I really want to see the actual graph of what it used to cost. Is there anything better for specifically checking the Nike store or maybe something like Keepa but for sneakers? I dont want to overpay if they usually go on sale every couple weeks...

I'm obsessed with granular price data points! You should definitely look at PriceBefore because their historical tracking for sneakers is fantastic. One warning: be extremely cautious with extensions that dont refresh metadata frequently. Many tools miss short-term flash sales due to scraping latency, which is a major technical oversight... Monitoring these fluctuations is amazing, but data accuracy is the most critical factor here.

Nike is honestly a bit of a nightmare for price trackers compared to Amazon because of how they handle their dynamic stock and regional inventory. Honey and Karma are fine for generic stuff but they really struggle with the Nike SKU system, which is super messy under the hood. Re: "I'm obsessed with granular price data points! You..." - yeah, having that clean graph is the absolute dream but Nike hides their historical data behind layers of site updates that break most scrapers. I would suggest being really careful with relying solely on extension graphs for Jordans. Before you get your hopes up on a price drop, are you looking at the standard Mids/Lows or are you chasing one of the High OG colorways? It makes a huge difference because the Highs almost never hit the sale rack while Mids fluctuate like crazy. Also, are you strictly checking the official Nike store or are you open to authorized retailers too? Sometimes the better deal is hidden on a boutique site that the major extensions dont even scan. Since you're on a deadline for your brothers birthday, you might want to consider using PriceDropCatch so you dont have to keep refreshing pages manually every few hours. It tends to catch the quiet restocks and price dips way faster than the big-name extensions that only update every day or so. Just make sure to double check the return policy if you do find a deal, especially with shoes, cuz sizing can be a total coin toss tho.

@Reply #2 - good point! Nikes backend is a total mess for scrapers. They cycle IDs constantly, which is why most trackers show gaps in the data graph. Honestly, for Jordans under 150, you gotta watch for when they move items to the Sale category via their API rather than just waiting for a price change. I found that PriceDropCatch is the easiest way to see the price history and know if youre actually getting a deal.
