Good shoes deserve a second life.
Every athlete knows the feeling.
Yet many sports shoes are retired long before they’re worn out. Children outgrow them. Athletes switch sizes, sports or brands. Perfectly good shoes end up forgotten on a shelf while someone else is searching for an affordable pair to start their own journey.
We believe good shoes deserve another season.
ReKick was started by Aradhana Tripathi, a football parent who watched a young footballer at home outgrow pair after pair of quality boots. Each one still had games left to play. The problem wasn’t the shoes. There simply wasn’t a trusted place where sports enthusiasts could buy and sell pre-owned sports footwear with confidence.
That’s why we built ReKick: a premium marketplace for quality pre-loved sports shoes, including football boots, running shoes, gym trainers, cricket spikes, trekking shoes and kids’ sports footwear. Our goal is simple: help great shoes find their next owner.
What “Verified ✓” means
Buying pre-loved sports gear shouldn’t feel risky. So every Verified listing is created differently: instead of uploading gallery photos, sellers capture photos and a short video directly in the ReKick app. It’s recorded live and time-stamped, so you see the actual pair on offer.
Photos captured live
Taken in the app camera. No gallery uploads.
A live video
Recorded during listing, so you see the pair from every angle.
A declared grade
The seller picks a condition grade using ReKick standards.
Five honest grades

Coming next: ReKick Certified
ReKick is in beta. Today it helps sports lovers discover and exchange quality footwear in their communities. Next, we plan ReKick Certified, a premium service to make buying pre-loved sports shoes even more trustworthy.
Athletes care deeply about hygiene, performance and trust. Nothing is Certified yet: we’re starting small, learning from our community and improving with every step.
Join the waitlistSport should be accessible. A young footballer shouldn’t miss out on quality boots because new ones are expensive. A pair of premium running shoes shouldn’t sit unused when it can help someone train for their next race.
ReKick exists to extend the life of great sports gear, reduce waste, make sport more affordable and build a trusted community around the equipment athletes love.
Great shoes aren’t meant for storage. One more game. One more run. One more adventure.
