A beginner’s guide to what sneakers are worth the investment.
Are you interested in getting into sneaker reselling but are unsure exactly where to start? We’re here to help with this guide to all the best sneakers to invest in.
This list breaks down the most reliable brands, styles, and even sneaker collaborators that should ensure that you’ll have your sneaker reselling business off the ground and making money in no time.
Yeezys
It seems that as long as adidas and Kanye West keep putting out sneakers, they will remain among the hottest sellers in the sneaker world. Almost every adidas Yeezy is valuable, but shoppers are especially looking for the following styles:
Air Jordans
Sneaker collecting as we know it today wouldn’t be the same without Air Jordans, and neither would the resale game! When looking for Jordans to consign, the main rule of thumb is that any Air Jordan Retro is the way to go. Keep an eye on sneaker release calendars, because whatever is the latest Air Jordan Retro (new ones release on an almost weekly basis) is the one consumers are looking for. These styles are especially popular:
Collaborations
Sneaker collaborations with artists, musicians, fashion brands, etc. are always among the most hyped releases at any given time. These are a few of the big-name collaborators that are always going to bring in dollars in the resale market:
Nike Dunk
The Nike Dunk is one of the most popular sneaker styles in the world, thanks to a consistent release cycle of new colorways and styles for both the Dunk Low and Dunk High. The Nike SB Dunk for skateboarding is also extremely popular, and usually its releases come in much fewer quantities than the standard Dunk. This translates into higher resale value.
Other Advice For Choosing Which Sneakers to Resale
-Follow trends. Follow sneaker and fashion blogs and social media to stay up to date on what sneakers are hyped. In most cases, the more hyped a sneaker is, the more resale value it has.
–New releases are best. In most cases, the brand new, hyped releases are the ones consumers are looking for, and willing to pay top dollar for. For example, a brand new Air Jordan retro is more sought after than one that was released six months ago.
-Buy what you like. And buy in your size. If all else fails, at least you can wear them yourself!
