Compressed Lifecycle is the biggest issue in the sneaker industry (really, it’s sustainability but that’s a different discussion that’s coming). Brands who haven’t decided to chase a weekly drop schedule are seeing the benefits of patience bolstered by disciplined supply chain policies. When a brand chases a number to give investors what they want, versus…
Source: The State of Resale 2024 – StockX Whether the sneaker industry will admit and whether sneaker culture likes it, StockX is the measuring stick for the business of kicks. The site provides a bevy of data on trends and is capable of supplying real time indicators of brand heat. This doesn’t mean the platform…
One of the biggest issues for buyers who are not used to how sneaker culture operates is the speed at which third party platforms ship the product purchased on sites like GOAT, StockX and eBay. The authentication process, which allowed sites like StockX to grow in a world dominated by Amazon and eBay, is what…

In the past I’ve attempted to keep up with the mainstream sneaker outlets by sharing my top 20 or 40 sneakers of the year. I based this on a section of the site I listed as Dope S–t I Like. This made for what I think was the most engaging and interesting list in the…

There is a consistent misunderstanding and undervaluation of the resale marketplace for sneakers. While GOAT, StockX and eBay get the most coverage as resale platforms, Amazon remains the place for resale that more accurately reflects the retail environment. I’ve always stated that there are various forms of sneaker resale. One form assists retail with removing…
https://arch-usa.com/how-the-supply-chain-contributed-to-800k-in-nike-product-being-stolen/ I recently reported on why the Supply Chain contributed to the theft of over 800,000 thousand dollars in Nike product. In that same post I discussed the problems of loss prevention for all companies and why storage yards across the country have been getting robbed. I followed that discussion with information on the Railroad…
StockX has been the fastest growing sneaker resale platform created. The company launched with influencers and the “Now You Know” ads featuring Wale and YouTubers like Foamer Simpson to gain credibility with the sneaker community. They then landed in a Super Bowl ad with Rocket Mortgage. Following those marketing strategies up, the platform rolled out…
One of the primary methods of increasing the visibility of a listing on eBay is displaying a product with free shipping. On StockX the seller doesn’t pay shipping, my prediction is this will change in the very near future. Businesses, in response to Amazon’s long-standing policies which have shaped all of e-commerce, all offer some…

Matt Priest and Andy Polk interview me for episode #309 of Shoe-in-Show. The question is how resale is being shaped by the supply chain and by StockX becoming the dominant source in sneaker resale. Check out the entire episode here: https://shoeinshow.com/episode/309-chris-burns-lights-again/
Take the time to pause the video when you see information cards. There is information on each which will assist you in understanding terms and points of discussion. I raise several points in this video about the fact that StockX has tied their NFTs to physical products. My biggest question is if they have sneakers…
As I begin to take a backseat in the resale game, I hit a milestone on StockX. I reached 20,000 pair sold on the platform and 2.5 million dollars in sales. I should probably do a video explaining how that happened, but that’s for another time. Today I got a box in the mail. The…
Below is the Wine Down, a show that follows each episode of HBO’s hit series “Insecure”. I’m using the episode of the Wine Down as a placeholder for the actual episode because I don’t want to utilize clips from YouTube channels pulling footage from the show. Which has absolutely nothing to do with this post….
Last month in September I continued with my reopening of my Amazon Seller Central Marketplace account. By the end of October, I was shutting it down again. Although the numbers above show that I made $20,255.49 on 193 pairs shipped, this doesn’t tell the entire tale of Amazon as a marketplace. I continued using eBay…
