Source: eBay Celebrates its Sneakerhead Community by Releasing a Collection of the Greatest Kicks Never Sold I ran across a smart paid promotion with Jazerai Allen-Lord for eBay’s Inside Drop Campaign: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CT5N3tuF64k/?utm_medium=copy_link The reason this is smart, is because instead of simply using influencers to sell eBay as “cool”, influencers who don’t really sell sneakers,…

Nike delivers a 60 dollar court shoe with a tumbled upper and a canvas border to add stability above the midsole. It’s a solid release that looks great with trousers, denim or shorts. The shoe also has a comfort insole. A simple, basic design at a great price.
The Air Max Pre-Day LX blends Nike’s archives with today’s cushioning tech in a Max Air bag at the heel. The upper is made with hits of suede for a premium build and a nod to the old Tailwind, but this is a new model celebrating the heritage of Steve Prefontaine.
adidas has ramped up content creation inside of their digital experience on the Confirmed App. They are posting stories daily which is a constant for every sneaker brand attempting to capture the lightning that Nike has with SNKRS and their Nike App. Nike noted in 2017 that they do 3 times the transactions within their…

Source: FILA Launches a New Women’s Size-Inclusive Performance Collection In this first sentence I have to state openly that I love to see Black women in fitness imagery and copy. Far too often brands utilize what mainstream marketing people assumes will sell gear. This is not to minimize smaller women, or white women, but the…
The Nike Air Mowabb retro features the classic socklike fit with a more rugged build for outdoor. The name derives from the desert landscape in Utah in Moab. Nike’s foray into the outdoor world crossed over immediately into everyday fashion and was more popular in some instances than the Cross Trainer and Huarache phase for…

Court shoes, in my opinion, will always mean tennis shoes. The brand I associate with court shoes the most is adidas. Their classic Rod Laver and Stan Smith models remain staples in the brands Originals footwear. The Stan Smith is so iconic, other brands have mimicked the colorway of white and green so much that…
Most Popular Style In a micro to macro comparison, to focus solely on the top ten sneakers sold, short changes the discussion. If I sold 382 pair of shoes, what is the ratio and comparison to the greater economy? That’s not clear at all. A micro set of data is best utilized to look at…

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…
