After a relatively slow start to 065900" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">summer 2022 due to many releases being just barely profitable, August is set to flip that around with a bunch of very profitable releases and a few noteworthy Air Jordans as well. Stick around as we go through our list of August 2022 best sneakers to resell!

You’ll note that this week, Nike has slightly slowed down with their Dunk lineup, perhaps realizing that they were releasing too many of them, but this month, it is all about the Yeezy! Let’s get right to it!

Adidas Yeezy 350 V1 Turtledove

  • Retail Price: $200
  • Estimated Resell: $700+
  • Release Date: Monday, August 1st, 2022
  • Colorway: Turtledove
  • Style Code: AQ4832

Unquestionably one of the most successful and sought-after Yeezy releases ever is the Yeezy 350 V1 Turtledove. It permanently altered the Yeezy brand and cemented it in the minds of fans.

Light grey Prime knit uppers with black designs can be found on the shoe’s uppers. The plush cushioned tongues include a similar design, and the laces have matching grey patterns with a black cross motif.

The design is completed with white Boost-encapsulated midsoles and outsoles, matching sock liners, eggshell heel pulls with red stitching, and matching sock liners. 

These sneakers will sell out in a matter of seconds.

On the secondary market, expect huge returns of around $500 per pair or more. The versions that were released in 2015 are selling for north of $1,200 on websites such as StockX.

Adidas Yeezy 700 V3 Azael

  • Retail Price: $200
  • Estimated Resell: $300+
  • Release Date: Monday, August 1st, 2022
  • Colorway: Azael
  • Style Code: FW4980

Like the Turtle Dove, Yeezy is set to release a few other restocks as well including the 700 V1 Analog and the highly valuable Adidas Yeezy 700 V3 Azael which was released first in 2019 and marks the first colorway of the V3 silhouette.

One of the more intricate designs from the continuing partnerships is the third iteration of the Yeezy 700, which plays with shape, line, texture, and even expectations. The exterior shell has a solitary unit that feels advanced and solid and is similar to a race vehicle and an astronaut’s outfit.

This 700 V3 has a monofilament-designed mesh Azael upper featuring RPU overlays for toughness and structure. Glow-in-the-dark accents and 3M luminous toe details can be seen on the RPU cage. The herringbone rubber outsole and EVA midsole finish the design.

On the secondary market, these sneakers will be worth around $300 if not more. If you head on over to the secondary market, you’ll see that they currently resell for over $600 in some cases. If you want to know what the best sizes are for such sneakers, check out our article!

Adidas Yeezy Slide Flax

  • Retail Price: $60 (TBC)
  • Estimated Resell: $120
  • Release Date: Monday, August 1st, 2022
  • Colorway: Flax
  • Style Code: N/A

Much like all other Adidas Yeezy slides, these sneakers feature a very minimalistic design which is perhaps why they’re so adored in current times. Expect these to be very profitable, similar to most other slides by Yeezy.

These are constructed with a combination of harvested algae and EVA foam which covers the entire upper with a small embossed bulge on the heels. Minimal branding and shark-teeth outsoles finish off the design.

If we take a look at similar pairs of sneakers on the secondary market, such as the Yeezy Slide Ochre, we’ll find that these sneakers will likely yield double the return of their retail price so expect gross profits of around $60 per pair.  

Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black Red (Red Stripe)

  • Retail Price: $230
  • Estimated Resell: $600+
  • Release Date: Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022
  • Colorway: CORE BLACK/RED/CORE BLACK
  • Style Code: BY9612

The Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Red Stripe/Core Black Red also makes a comeback after first dropping in 2016 and selling out instantly.

The sneakers feature a core black/red Prime Knit upper with specks of Red that permeates through, adding a bit of flavor. Ropey black traditional laces blend right in, while sharp contrast is provided by the titular red stripe on the side panels with SPLY-350 text in black at the sides.

Black sock liners, black Boost midsoles, and matching outsoles finish off the design. On the secondary market, these sneakers are currently worth over $900! I believe that number will drop down to around $600, depending on how much stock Yeezy has for this release.

Overall, this is a must-cop for anyone that wants to resell or just collect, and for August 2022 best sneakers to resell is the standout shoe!

Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Sesame

  • Retail Price: $230
  • Estimated Resale: $350
  • Release Date: Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022
  • Colorway: Sesame
  • Style Code: F99710

The Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Sesame was released last in 2018 and also sold out instantly, holding on to a respectably high-value today.

Uppers feature a Prime Knit material, usually with a rougher appearance near the toes and medial sides, and a smoothened-out material on the lateral sides with an overall washed-out grey/off-white appearance.

Matching laces and tongues blend right in, while interiors feature a grey hue to match. Milky Boost midsoles and matching outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary market, these kicks are worth around $450 per pair, and I expect that number to come down to around $350 after the restock, which would still yield some very decent returns.

Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Hyperspace

  • Retail Price: $210
  • Estimated Resell: $330

The second of August is a huge day for Yeezy releases as a plethora of restocks and a few new colorways are coming, including some very valuable ones such as this Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Hyperspace.

Uppers on this shoe feature what appears to be grey prime knit with a teal-like tint all over with a rough texture.

Side panels feature a pale hue that shows the perforated underlays of the sneaker. Matching tongues, sock liners, light green Boost midsoles, and rubber outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary market, these kicks resell for around $450, but after the restock, I expect resale to be around $330, which is still over a $100 gross profit. Your August 2022 best sneakers to resell shopping list is not complete without the Yeezys.

Air Jordan 5 Retro Concord

  • Retail Price: $200
  • Estimated Resell: $230
  • Release Date: Saturday, August 6th, 2022

This Air Jordan 5 comes in a stylish colorway that pairs the trademark concord accents with a bright white tint. The side panels and toes are covered with white leather and have matching white plastic eyelets inserted into them.

White leather is used for the rear panels and cushioned collars as well. The white stitching used to assemble the shoe is likewise clean and blends in.

The shoe’s throats are covered with crisp, white traditional laces, and the side panels have netting that complements it. The laces are secured in place as you move up by a transparent lace toggle with additional concord hits.

When it comes to the tongues, they have the typical reflective properties and a grey hue with the eponymous Jump-Man emblems. The same color is also seen in the interiors, while black midsoles with purple shark teeth graphics and ice blue outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary market, these will be worth around $230. Although that’s not too high, these will sell out instantly. For August 2022 best sneakers to resell are definitely worth a closer look.

Air Jordan 4 Retro Canyon Purple

  • Retail Price: $200
  • Estimated Resell: $300+

The fascinating new design of the Air Jordan 4 Retro Canyon Purple is built mostly from purple fuzzy suede.

These shoes have suede purple toes and purple netting side panels that go all the way around to the backs. The same purple suede is also present in the toe boxes, which rise to purple throats with netting.

Tongues have a similar fuzzy construction, and the black Jump-Man marking on the tags contrasts with the anthracite-colored branding on the tongues’ other side.

The pattern is completed with dark green eyelets, extra green outsoles, and dark green midsoles with black accents.

On the secondary market, these sneakers will likely be quite profitable. Although there are no current sales on StockX at the time of writing this, demand and bids are high!

Air Jordan 13 Retro French Blue

  • Retail Price: $200
  • Estimated Resell: $230
  • Release Date: Saturday, August 20th, 2022
  • Colorway: White/Fire Red-French Blue-Light Steel Grey

In terms of the blue-and-white color combination, the Air Jordan 13 French Blue is a brand-new colorway that is similar to the Air Jordan 13 Flint.

The side panels of the uppers’ tumbled leather uppers are covered in a dotted design. The toes, however, are made of tumbled grey leather and have blue “JORDAN” tags just above them.

A pair of white leather tongues with contrasting Fire Red Jump-Man branding is located above that, and they are surrounded by perforated white throats that are covered in ropey white laces.

In addition to the collars’ encrusted holograms, the inserts include white branding and the named French Blue color. The style is completed with grey/white outsoles with red-encrusted Jordan holograms and blue suede midsoles.

Although I do not expect sky-high profits on the secondary market, these will sell out very quickly and remain profitable. However, in the August 2022 best sneakers to resell contest, they are a solid pick.

Air Jordan 3 Retro Dark Iris

  • Retail Price: $200
  • Estimated Resell: $210
  • Release Date: Wednesday, August 24th, 2022
  • Colorway: White/Black-Dark Iris-Cement Grey
  • Style Code: CT8532-105

Although it uses a different shade of purple, the Air Jordan 3 Retro Dark Iris is evocative of the court’s purple hue.

Crisp white leather is used for construction on the toes, side panels, and collars of the uppers. With cement grey elephant patterns on the toes and heels of the sneakers, things start to get crazy the lower we go.

The bottom eye stays are the namesake purple color, and the laces are crisp white. The eye stays are made of a polka-dotted cloth with what appear to be holes. Additionally, there are Dark Iris Jump-Man emblems on the tongues to correspond with the interiors’ and collars’ complementary colors.

The style is completed with white midsoles with purple accents and exposed grey Air Unit, and grey outsoles.

On the secondary market, the Air Jordan 3 Retro Iris will likely be a little above retail price, but they’re still very popular.

The Air Jordan 1 High Stealth is also a brand-new release that’s coming this August. These sneakers feature a white and grey color scheme that many fans may be salivating over.

Uppers feature crisp white leather on the toes, side panels, as well as eye stays. Grey perforated toes lead up to white tongues and titular grey laces on top.

White tongues with grey tags and Nike branding, grey collars with Jordan Wings motifs, grey leather side Swooshes, white midsoles, and grey outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary market, these will likely be worth around $250, yielding gross profits of around $50-$80 per pair.
