April 2021’s Hottest Sneakers to Resell

Hey guys, and welcome back to another action-packed month filled with loads of opportunities to make money flipping shoes. March was an excellent month, with Winner̵7;s Circle members making thousands of dollars of profit, and we’re looking to make April a record month with the shoes dropping. Enough talking, let’s get to it!

We have the updated list of May right here, which includes the SB Lemon Drop which was delayed

1. Air Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” – Release date: Saturday, April 10th 2021

Retail: $190

Peak Resell: $350

Potential Profit: $160

One of the most anticipated sneakers of spring 2021, the Retro 5 in the “Raging Bull” / “Toro Bravo” colorway is making a return from its original 2009 debut.

Given that its former release is now a classic going for nearly $1000 on the aftermarket, the 2021 drop is set to resell to a red hot market with solid profit potential. Stock will be low, so best of luck making yourself among the lucky few who cop these for retail.

2. Air Jordan 4 ‘University Blue’ – Release dates: Europe (Possible): Wednesday, April 14th 2021. USA: Wednesday, April 28th 2021

Retail: $190

Peak Resell: $400

Potential Profit: $210

The Jordan 4 has had a resurgence recently, with crazy collaborations such as Off-White and Union, and some great general releases such as the ‘Fire Red’ colorway. Definitely a hot shoe at the moment, and this ‘University Blue’ colorway is sure to be a hit especially coming up to summer. All sizes are worth going for for this shoe.

3. Nike Dunk Low ‘Michigan’ – Release date: Friday, April 16th 2021 (POSTPONED)

Retail: $100

Peak Resell: $300

Potential Profit: $200

Another great dunk release to add to the very long list that have dropped in 2021. This ‘Michigan’ colorway has already released in a Dunk High this year, and did quite well for a Dunk High, so I expect this low version to do even better. Stock will be quite low, but all sizes are definitely worth copping for an easy, profitable flip.

Edit: the drop has been postponed for May, so subscribe to our email list for the latest info on this and other hot releases.

4. Air Jordan 1 High ‘Hyper Royal’ – Release date: Saturday, April 17th 2021

Retail: $170

Peak Resell: $400

Potential Profit: $230

The Jordan 1 High has had a great few months, with colorways such as the ‘University Blue’ and ‘Mocha’ releasing since December 2020. Both of those have done incredibly well on the resell market, and I expect this shoe to be just as good. Reminiscent of the ‘Turbo Green’ colourway released in 2019, which is now worth over $750 in some sizes, this is sure to be a hit among sneakerheads worldwide. The best sizes will be 7-9.5, but all sizes are 100% worth copping.

5. Nike x Sacai Vaporwaffle ‘Dark Iris’ – Release date: Tuesday, April 27th 2021

Retail: $225

Peak Resell: $400

Potential Profit: $175

Sacai is still rolling with its ever popular Vaporwaffle Nike collab.

Although it won’t have as much longevity as last year’s Black/White colorway, it certainly still carries hype and is definitely unique with its deep purple hue which is sure to turn heads.

6. Nike Dunk Low ‘Photon Dust’ – Release date (US): Tuesday, April 27th 2021

Retail: $100

Peak Resell: $250

Potential Profit: $150

At just $100 in retail, this Nike Dunk has the lowest price out of this list, yet it may maintain a resale price at or above some of the other kicks on this list, making it one to look out for.

Its clean, nearly all white  colorway makes it a great choice for a minimalist outfit, meaning that this shoe will be in incredibly high demand, especially for the summer.

Given that it’s a Women’s exclusive, look for larger sizes to hold solid resale value for the men looking to rock these.

7. Air Jordan 6 x Travis Scott ‘British Khaki’ – Release date: Thursday, 29th April 2021

Retail: $250

Peak Resell: $600

Potential Profit: $350

Finally, another Travis Scott collaboration, this time a new colourway of the previously successful Jordan 6 which came out in late 2019. As always with Travis Scott collaborations, expect crazy resale prices, with tons of money to be made, but also note that they will be very difficult to cop due to low supply and very high demand. Every size is worth copping 100%.

8. Nike Dunk Low ‘Lemon Drop’ – Release Date: TBA April 2021

Retail: $100

Peak Resell: $400

Potential Profit: $300

One more Dunk to add to the list, this time in a very summery ‘Lemon’ colorway, perfectly in time for wearing during summer. As they are in women’s sizes, the biggest and smallest sizes will most likely be the best. Stock will be quite low also, but they will be extremely profitable if you do manage to get your hands on them.

There are so many great shoes releasing this month with so much money to be made; if you’re not reselling yet, why aren’t you! If you manage to grab just one pair of each shoe on this list, it would cost you roughly $1000. If you manage to sell them at peak resell values, you would receive around $2400. This is a net profit of $1400 – not too bad for just buying 6 pairs of shoes per month!

Until next time,
