The StockX commercial below originally launched in November of 2018. The spot doesn’t feature any famous people. The commercial does include a lot of famous kicks; which makes it appear that the ad is targeted to ‘sneakerheads’ but with the shifting nature of the consumption of media by young people and the fact that the…

StockX continues to develop ideas to expand their growth. They’ve now added an option to sell multiple pairs at one time. While this doesn’t appear to be revolutionary, it opens the door to StockX getting a part of the P2P wholesale market in sneakers. While there aren’t many people selling in bulk anymore, the business…

Nike currently has a lawsuit pending over problems with workplace diversity and sexism. While many sites and news outlets are focused on how this case will affect the recent resurgence by the brand, I moved to a different discussion based on the recent third party sales I’ve had utilizing the StockX website.
