Summer may be winding down, but sneaker sales are heating up as the back-to-school shopping season is in full swing. This time of year nets big profits for resellers as students look to the latest releases in an effort to look their best for their return to the classroom. We predict there will be more money to be made in this year’s back-to-school shopping cycle due to all the hyped sneakers brands like New Balance, ASICS, Nike, Jordan, and adidas have been releasing all summer long.
If you’re looking to make some extra cash consigning with Stadium Goods, now is the time to do so. And if you’re unsure about what sneakers you should be consigning in order to maximize sales and grow your resale business, you’ve come to the right place. We put together a handy guide to some of the sneakers you should consider consigning during this year’s back-to-school shopping season.
Nike Dunks
The Nike Dunk may not be as hyped as it once was. But there is still money to be made by consigning Dunks at Stadium Goods. Need proof? Consider Off-White’s “Lot 50” collection, which, as of this writing, has colorways priced around $1,000 in most sizes on our website. Ambush’s “Lethal Pink” Dunk is hovering around the $700-800 price range, and Crenshaw Skate Crew’s Nike SB Dunk collaboration is hitting for over $400. There are plenty of other colorways of both the standard Dunk and skate-friendly SB Dunk worthy of consignment, so don’t be afraid to check our inventory here.
Techy Retro Runners
Tech runners aka Y2K-looking sneakers are having a serious moment right now. Thanks to brands like ASICS, New Balance, and Saucony, everyone can’t get enough of retro running shoes designed with mesh and metallic silver overlays. We’re talking about the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 and ASICS GT-2160, and the New Balance 1906R, 2002R, and 9060. There’s also the Nike Zoom Vomero 5, which is another retro running shoe from the 2010s that came back in a big way this year, and the Salomon XT-2. As you can see, there’s plenty to choose from in the tech runner category.
adidas Samba and Samba-Like Sneakers
The adidas Samba was the most popular shoe of 2022. So far, it’s faring pretty well in 2023, too. The old school indoor soccer shoe continues to be part of big-name collaborations as Pharrell, Grace Wales Bonner, and Sporty and Rich have all released colorways of the model that have generated considerable hype in the culture. Another shoe with a Samba-like look that’s getting play is the adidas Gazelle. You can find some Gazelle gems in our inventory.
New Balance 9060, 2002R, etc.
Is it us, or does it seem like there’s a new New Balance shoe trending every month? If we had to pick the New Balance sneaker that’s netting resellers the most profits this summer, we would choose the 9060, a techy-looking lifestyle silhouette with an unmistakable chunky sole. The 9060, as well as the New Balance 2002R, another sneaker with an early-2000s-style appearance, are among the most popular shoes in the game. The New Balance Made in USA line including the 990 series has also been selling steadily, and we need your pairs.
Slides & Clogs: adidas Yeezy, Salehe Bembury x Crocs + more
It’s a new day in sneakers: comfort reigns supreme. From the adidas Yeezy Slide to Salehe Bembury’s Crocs Pollex Clog there’s never been as much emphasis on being comfy than right now. That means that resellers should be taking note and consigning basically every colorway of every model produced by Salehe Bembury and Crocs, and every new Yeezy Slide by adidas. You’ll thank us later.
Air Jordans
It’s not up for debate: sneaker culture was built on the success of Michael Jordan’s signature Air Jordan line with Nike. Even with Jordan now two decades into his retirement from basketball, Air Jordan sneakers are as popular as they’ve ever been, if not more so when you consider the hype that collaborations like Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 series and the new Air Jordan 1 “Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse” have been generating. If you’re looking for a new collection of Air Jordans to get behind, check out Jordan Golf, which is stocked with classic Jordans in familiar colorways, but with design modifications tailored to the fairway.
