Let’s revisit July to get a better grasp on how August shaped up. July had a lot of Dunks. August, I didn’t win hardly any raffles so the number of Air Jordan 1 and Dunks decreased. Here is what I wrote for July: The Average Resale Price in July on StockX was $129.68. This number…
Another Air Jordan 1 Low that looks a lot like a Mid released earlier this year, features a translucent outsole and because of this Nike bumped the price up to 100. It’s a clean look for another Jordan 1 Low drop.
This is one of the best performance models (tech-wise) from the Swoosh in years. It’s also one of the most surprising hoops shoes. In this video, I make the claim that this shoe had to have been designed with Kobe in mind. Quite possibly the six dots on the medial side of the shoe are…
I had 382 transactions in August 2021. The wholesale channel shifted as I didn’t want to take on inventory and sit on it for two weeks. The market moves quickly and I lost that wholesale deal. Just because I’m out of the biz for a while, doesn’t mean the world stops turning. In September, I’ve…
The all black Air Force 1 has been given the dubious honor of being the shoe for covert ops. In other words, if there is some gangsta ish about to go down, and you’re trying to figure out which person you need to watch out for, 9 times out of 10, the person rocking the…

One of Nike’s most innovative basketball designs since the brand rolled out the Hyperdunk during the 08 Olympics, the Zoom GT Cut is loaded with tech and nods to the importance of creating space for ball handlers. The shoe features a foam and reinforced mesh upper, but it’s the Zoom Strobel, which first showed up…
August was slower because I took a week and a half off to take my son to Miami to start his freshman year. This brief disruption allowed for a group to encroach on the wholesale account I set up in July. Although the time away from the business allowed me to assess how everything operated…

Space Jam 2 arrived unlike the original film. The OG featured two sneaker drops. The unofficial Air Jordan 9 and of course the classic Air Jordan 11. This time around, Nike produced three different versions of the LeBron 18 low, this LeBron 8 version and Converse rolled a number of releases. Nike saw this as…
One of my peers stopped by the office yesterday heated. His question was, “Why aren’t the fees matching up on everything I’m selling on StockX?” He had reached the 6% level just as I had for the quarter ending with September. We sat down and went through the numbers and realized that as long as…
LeBron is entering the twilight of his career… or at least the years would say this is the end. Tom Brady might have something to say about playing into your late 30s and early 40s. When King James took his talents to South Beach, his sneaker game moved to a new level. Since that time…

Hey Arnold! — heralded as…
Source: SAGA I’m never one to share a shoe and not remind you that I’ve tried that sneaker. Brandblack has quietly become one of my go to in my sneaker rotation. While my son took my Sagas to Miami for his freshman year, it looks like the newer options have added a couple of monochromatic…
Allbirds IPO Filing Shows Jump in Both Sales and Losses – Bloomberg To remain impartial when discussing Allbirds’ pending IPO is a difficult task as my company ARCH and “Allbirds” began on Kickstarter at the same time. Allbirds gained the front page due to the number of backers and the rest is history. Their success…
The Jordan Delta 2 arrives and the updates are extensive. Jordan Brand used a sturdy durabuck throughout high stress points of the shoe, increased the amount of React cushion and added a sticky, translucent rubber on the outsole to create a lifestyle shoe that is more functional than just a pair you wear for style….
What’s Quietly Hot – is a new series based on my resale data utilizing StockX. These are shoes that have taken off and are selling very well, but still under the radar.
