Before we head on over to see the best sizes, let’s go over some background information.

Women’s Sneakers: What are they?

Usually, sneaker brands release their products in a number of sizes that may include Grade School Sizes, Toddler, Pre-School, adult, and women’s sneaker sizes. Some manufacturers, such as the Air Jordan brand, even release women-exclusive sneakers.

What are women’s exclusive sneakers? They are colorways of a specific model that are only released in women’s sizes, but many do ask, can men actually wear them as well?

Well, in most cases, the answer is yes. When you’re choosing a women’s exclusive sneaker, all you need to do in most cases, such as with Jordan Brand, is go 1.5 sizes up. It’s as simple as that in most cases.

However, you’re probably here to resell, so in those cases, it doesn’t even matter. Women’s sneaker sizes can be tricky so let’s head on over to the secondary market.

Best Sizes For Women’s Sneakers: Jordan Brand

Air Jordans continue to dominate the reselling market in 2022. These sneakers, in the vast majority of cases, release and sell out instantly and resell for a lot more than retail, depending on the sizes.

The Air Jordan 1 and 4, for example, can easily make you over $100 in profit and, in some cases, even above $1,000 for the right models, such as collaborations with Travis Scott like the Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott Reverse Mocha.

In 2020, Jordan sneakers, although not even close to irrelevant, had a major boost in popularity when Michael Jordan’s “The Last Dance” documentary was released.

The sneakers featured in that series, in particular, saw a massive increase in demand on the secondary market.

These sneakers were so popular in some cases that resale prices became unaffordable for many, and they had to depend on other models, such as the Air Jordan 1 Mid, or even other sizes such as women’s sizes or exclusive sizes.

Women’s exclusive Air Jordans also saw an increase in popularity as Jordan Brand started releasing more hyped colorways exclusively for women, such as the Air Jordan 4 x Off White Sail.

In 2022, women’s exclusive Air Jordans can be decent investments if you know what the best sizes are. Let’s check out a couple of pairs on the secondary market. Also, join our Winner’s Circle for expert knowledge to help you cop the best sneakers!

Air Jordan 4 Sail Canvas

• Retail Price: $200
• Average Resell: $260
• Release Date: Thursday, February 24^th, 2022
• Colorway: Sail/Sail-Cement Grey-Fire Red
• Style Code: DQ4904-100

This Jordan 4’s canvas uppers replace the leather ones, increasing its customizability.

The toes, eye stays, mudguards, side panels, rears, and collars are covered with sail canvas. The style is completed with Sail outsoles and Sail midsoles.

The Air Jordan 4 Blank Canvas, released in women’s sizing and on the secondary market, resell for an average price of $260 per pair, yielding gross profits of around $60 per pair.

When taking a closer look at the sales, you can see in the provided image that the larger sizes are the most popular, particularly sizes 9 and above. They resell for over $270 in most cases and even $300 in some.

This is mostly because men also prefer these colorways, and they go up 1.5 sizes to cop one for themselves.

Air Jordan 1 High OG Lucky Green

• Retail Price: $170
• Estimated Resell: $300
• Release Date: October/14/2020
• Colorway: Lucky Green/White-Sail-Black
• Style Code: DB4612-300

The 1986 triumph over the Boston Celtics by 63 points by a rookie Michael Jordan served as the inspiration for this women’s-only Air Jordan 1. Even MJ’s rivals made jokes about his divinity in human form since the performance was so spellbinding.

The color scheme of this sneaker is influenced by the Boston Celtics, with a few red accents paying homage to the Chicago Bulls.

The side panels and toe box are covered in white leather, while the laces, ‘Swoosh’, and other accents are black. Red branding on the tongue and collar, meanwhile, is a reference to the Chicago Bulls.

The design is completed with a sail midsole and a black outsole.

On the secondary market, these kicks are worth over $300 per pair, which is a gross profit of almost $150 per pair. These sneakers did sell out instantly when they were released and resell for prices that reflect that.

When looking at the sales, once again, we find that the larger sizes above 9 can reach prices as high as $400, with most selling for over $350 per pair! I think you’re probably beginning to understand the pattern here. Larger sizes for Air Jordans in women’s sizes are more popular.

Best Sizes For Women’s Sneakers: Nike Air

Nike Air technology has been at the forefront of sneaker innovation and has led to one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, such as the Air Max 1, Air Max, 90, and of course, the Nike Air Force 1 Low.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low, in particular, is one of the most popular sneakers ever made and is possibly the most recognizable anywhere in the world. It was Nike’s first-ever complete basketball sneaker which they made to enter the lucrative and rising basketball sneaker niche.

The Air Force 1 Low’s success was undeniable, and after being discontinued for a short while, Nike brought the shoe back, and they currently stand as one of Nike’s best-selling sneakers of all time, racking in over a billion dollars in revenue.

In recent times, the Air Max 90 and the Nike Air Force 1 have become fashion staples within the western world. Almost everyone that is into street fashion and sneakers owns a pair which is why they’re still around and supremely popular today.

Resale is not as impressive as with Jordan Brand or Yeezy, but there is still some potential here for women’s sizes. Let’s check out a few models on the secondary market.

Air Max 90 Valentine’s Day (2021)

• Retail Price: $150
• Average Resell: $167
• Release Date: Wednesday, June 2^nd, 2021
• Colorway: WHITE/UNIVERSITY RED-TULIP PINK-WHITE
• Style Code: DD8029-100

Air Max sneakers in certain exclusive colorways are also pretty popular in some cases. Although the Air Max 90 is a relatively unprofitable sneaker, particularly in women’s sizing, these are one of the more popular ones.

Uppers feature white mesh on to toes while a light pink suede appears on the toes and the side panels. Lower eye stays are crisp white leather, while the plastic eyelet panels are pink on the lower half and University Red up top.

White throats are wrapped up in matching white laces, leading up to red tags with white Nike Air branding.

Heel tabs and interiors also don a pastel pink hue while bright red cropped side Swooshes, red Air Max tags on the rear quarters, white/pink midsoles, and red/white outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary market, these kicks are worth around $170 per pair. Taking a closer look, we can see that the sales are for around $200 and above for sizes that are 8.5 and above. It appears that even with Nike sneakers, the profitable sizes are the larger ones.

Swarovski x Nike Air Force 1 Low

• Retail Price: $450
• Average Resell: $460
• Release Date: Thursday, December 2^nd, 2021
• Colorway: White and Black
• Style Code: CV7668-100 (White)
• CV7668-001(Black)

This Nike Air Force 1 for ladies only had a brand-new, opulent style that sparkles all over with Swarovski crystals.

The shoes’ whole surface is covered in an elaborate, dynamic design that is adorned with tiny Swarovski crystals and fastened to the midsoles with metallic silver fasteners.

The inserts include branding that mirrors the exterior’s tone, which is either spotless white or jet-black.

The design is completed with plain outsoles and midsoles. Additionally, these sneakers include unique AF1-branded screws.

On the secondary market, this kind of flopped and did not resell for what was expected. Currently, they sell for around retail prices or a little bit over. The best sizes for these sneakers, as usual, are the larger sizes going 8.5 and up.

Best Sizes for Women’s Sneakers: Yeezys

Yeezys are still extremely popular; however, they do not frequently release women’s exclusive sneakers, particularly in their most popular models, such as the Yeezy 700 line and the Yeezy 350 V2 line as well.

Yeezy sneakers in general are very popular. In 2022, the resale and hype of their iconic 350 V2 did decline, but newer models such as the Adidas Yeezy Foam Runners and slides have been very profitable and often resell for double or more than their retail prices.

However, Yeezy doesn’t really release many women’s exclusives so let’s take a look at the very few available.

Adidas Yeezy Desert Boot Taupe

• Retail Price: $295
• Average Resell: $340
• Colorway: TAUPE
• Style Code: YZ7WF7003-214

The rich brown color of the Yeezy Desert Boot Taupe is suggestive of sand.

They came back with a variety of materials to create the construction in its original form and color.

The sides and collars of the Boot have mesh underlays for better ventilation, and the eye stays, and side overlays have suede overlays in their appropriate color tones that go well with the ropey laces and further enhance the “Boot”-like appearance of the shoe.

On the secondary market, these are not super profitable at all, but resellers have made gross profits of around $45 per pair. Once again, the largest sizes are still indeed the most profitable and sell at times for over $400 per pair. Particularly sizes 37 and above.

Adidas Yeezy Desert Boot Cinder

• Retail Price: $295
• Estimated Resell: $325
• Colorway: Cinder
• Style Code: YZ7WF7003-212

The Adidas Yeezy Desert Boot Cinder was also released in women’s sizing, among the very few, and features a similar build in Yeezy’s go-to earthy color tones.

The uppers feature dark brown suede toes with mesh cutouts on the side panels and stripes of leather on the sides. Additional earthy suede can be found on the collars as well. Ropey boot-like laces cover the throats while mesh tongues feature brown heel pulls.

Grey midsoles and large rugged brown outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary market, these sneakers are worth around $325 which isn’t a lot. However, larger sizes that are 39 and above resell for around $375 and up.

We can conclude that for the vast majority of sneaker models, the larger sizes are the most profitable. This is not true nor consistent with all sneaker models, so you will need to be careful; however, it is very true for most Nike and Air Jordan sneakers.

This can mostly be attributed to the fact that most adult men also prefer some of these colorways and want to buy them for themselves, not just to resell.
