Instead of splitting the three platforms up, I’m combining them all to give you the price points. On all three platforms combined I had 462 sales for a total of $52,300.98 gross sales. Those sales ranged from the low to premium price range. Average price on StockX rounds out to 104.91. Average price on Amazon…
Source: Pig Suede Old Skool | Shop Classic Shoes At Vans A few years ago Vans hit resale with the Yacht Club and a few other styles. I even found the AVE as a go to for resale. Vans haven’t really replicated the hype of the retro trend, but they are still very popular….
Nike SB Dunks used to end up in the clearance store so much, you could walk in and grab 5 pair a day at 39.99 for lows. That’s changed now that Dunks have been hyped. This pair came from the Skate Shop of Tampa. The pair features a rough suede, Nike Zoom Air and the…
September, as I mentioned in August, is an analysis of three platforms. I relaunched my Amazon Seller Central account and continued using StockX. Inventory was slow in September so sales declined on StockX, but were still robust enough to provide a breakdown on surprising models and to provide a top 10. I decided to really…
The ZoomX Invincible is a more serious take on running from Nike. The shoe sits between the Epic React and React based trainers from the Swoosh and the ZoomX % series from Nike. It’s a bold design, with a stacked outsole filled with ZoomX and supported with Flyknit for containment. Ringing up at 180 it’s…

As the city has grown and suburban sprawl has taken shape, city and county government aren’t running the community centers in the same way they once did….
An unexpected retro that delivered crazy numbers in resale early, but has since leveled off. The GTS was launched in 96 and skaters flocked to the model according to some websites. The shoe is basic. It features a canvas upper with a synthetic leather heel tab and embroidered Swooshes with a grippy outsole.
This version of the D Break features a Mars Yard type colorblocking. It is only 90 bucks retail and unlike what I thought, it isn’t hitting resale at all so you can grab a pair at a decent price. The heel features a scuff tech material and the upper is a lightweight mesh. Good for…
This is not a hypothetical. I spoke with several store managers in different locations and the answer is the same, “Since Fed Ex started handling shipping, packages are missing all of the time.” I won’t tie a particular manager to that quote, but the same person stated, “When the deliveries arrive, I have to stand…
Allbirds has yet to pull a Nike and leak photos to sneaker blogs to show everyone what their upcoming “leather” sneaker will look like, but as their IPO prepares to launch, I’m finding more reasons to be optimistic about the brand. The company Natural Fiber Welding is the creator of a material named Mirum. Allbirds…
The classic Daybreak was an original running shoe from the Swoosh. This model captures all of the details of the retro model with some archival input from the N354 program, where heritage is combined with modern aesthetics to create a new model. The Fresh has a vintage midsole, with a breathable mesh upper combined with…
I’ve been very critical of Foot Locker. During retail dives, even with shipping constraints and supply chain issues, it seemed both JD Sports and Hibbett Sports were outperforming Foot Locker simply based on the amount of sneakers being allotted to the chains. Nike’s continued Consumer Direct Acceleration, accelerated the demise of Footaction, and in my…
The Waffle One is a clean, 100 dollar option from the Swoosh for those who couldn’t hit on the Sacai Waffle drops. The shoes arrive with a suede and mesh upper and the classic waffle outsole with branding stating since 1972; the year after Blue Ribbon Sports became Nike.
The Air Jordan 1 remains the most copied and counterfeited shoe in the sneaker game. Nike has taken extreme measures to protect their cash cow. The irony is that in the 80s when it was first made, the Pony City Wings and a host of shoes had a similar design. Nike also “knocked off” there…
Source: Men’s Seaton Slip-On This week I’m going to create a LinkedIn video chat with the team at COMUNITYmade. In the last few years, the brand has become a favorite of mine. I own two pair. I know, compared to how many pair of kicks Jordan Brand fans buy each year, this is pretty much…
Women’s Capo Faux Shearling Green Shearling, is an alternative to the lady who has to keep overspending on retro drops sucked up by bots and backdoors. If you’re going to pay 2-300 a pair, at least keep your feet warm and don’t look like everyone else in the room. A winter ready look and feel,…

New Balance has been nailing their collabs and releases this year. Their use of signature athletes, collections with Coco and Sydney, rival the work of any brand in the industry. Their collabs with Casablanca have sold out and hit resale. The Joe FreshGoods pair is so popular, Nike heads are actually dropping 300- 400 a…
Shout out Julian who asked about the fit of the shoe after watching this video: ODDS Atelier Memphis Pick ups I took the time to do an on foot and follow up discussion on the Karhu Trampas to talk about the fit of the sneaker. I changed out the leather insole and replaced it with…

I wrote an article, The Inherent Issue with eBay’s Big Push to Recapture it’s Sneaker Soul, as a response to the marketing taking place by the e-Commerce giant. They have enlisted sneaker influencers big and small in North America and in other countries to recapture the share of the market that StockX has taken over…
A new spin on the classic Blazer from Nike. The shoe features an elevated midsole giving the shoe a wedge styled platform look. One of the most popular shoes of the year in a low with an edge.
