Sizes 8 – 12

Right away on my list of Best Sizes for Reselling I would first talk about the favourites the sizes 8-12. It will not lead to the most profit but can be resold quickly

The reason they are on my list is because they are the most sought-after. The majority of sneaker resellers in the community even the ones I have met are targeting the space of sneaker sizes of 8-12. These sizes are in high demand, and high-demand sneakers don’t always lead to a higher price.

let’s simplify this with an example, you have 10 pairs of shoes that are sized between 8 and 12, and the chances of you being able to move those pairs quickly are much, much higher

Sizes 4 – 7.5

Next on list for Best Sizes for Reselling are the ones with less demand, but also less stock upfront.

Smaller or grade school sizes are obviously uncommon, so sneaker companies like Nike and Adidas don’t produce them in bulk quantities. The basic rule of economics is

less supply = more demand, and more demand = higher prices.


For example, Let’s take a look at the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Yeezreel (Non-Reflective). This sneaker originally retailed for $220 and these days have an average resale value of $290 on the resale market, which in my opinion is not a bad profit.

In the table below I have highlighted in red the prices of the shoe sizes ranging from US 4 to 7.5 Not to mention you can clearly see they sell higher compared to popular sneaker sizes.

Sizes 6 and 6.5 almost hit $100 over what generally sized pairs go for. This is super important information as a reseller because that’s hundreds of dollars in missed profit if you don’t understand this (1000+ Tips Like these are all covered in my book “Hypemaster Playbook” )

Sizes 13+

Lastly, In my list of best sizes for reselling, I have covered a size range of 13+. Again production scaleis low and so is the demand for such large pairs. Dont worry they fetch really good profits and some of these are super limited.

This time, we are going to take a look at a pair of Air Jordans, a well-known brand, more specifically the Jordan 1 Retro High OG Patent Bred. The reason we chose this sneaker is that Jordan 1’s are actually pretty popular for people with larger foot sizing.

This is important to know because there will be more demand for the larger sizes because they usually release sneakers that have a larger shoe size in less quantity. Taking a look at the table here, you’ll notice that the sizes of the Air Jordans go from 12.5 and up yielding around $500, while the general shoe size, 9.5 – 10.5, yields about $400.

It’s still very important to understand that sizes like 16 are not going to be selling every day. Investing in really small or really large sizes is a long-term great investment that may not see a buyer for months. For safer purchases, you’ll want to buy the other sizes. You have to be in it to win it and stick it through if you want to see the kinds of returns that these specific shoe sizes can get you for some Air Jordans.

Conclusion

This brings me to the conclusion of my article. As far as the best size for reselling is asked? There isn’t one winner. People wear their sneakers and want sneakers in their size, and there’s a huge variety of certain sneakers and certain brands that come in different sizes.

If you want to move pairs fast and don’t mind selling for lower margins, then surely go for 8-12. If you want to make as much as possible and don’t mind holding on to pairs, go for a specific size like the 13+ or the ones between 4 to 7.5.

Hopefully, now you know how to always cop the best shoe size!
