Sneaker Reselling Sites: A Roundup | Highsnobiety

Grailed

Grailed is split into four individual sections; Grails (high-end designers), Hype (highly anticipated new releases from YEEZY and Supreme), Sartorial (high-end classic menswear), and Core (mainstream brands). Curated sales like the Grailed 100 also set Grailed apart from other competitor sites. These hand-picked collections educate users on the background and history of seminal pieces from iconic brands in streetwear and high fashion, plus offer the rare chance to purchase hard-to-find gear from COMME des GARÇONS, Helmut Lang and more.

StockX

StockX operates much like the actual stock market, allowing users to buy and sell at whatever price they agree upon while giving users real-time feedback on what their sneakers are being bought and sold for. StockX has effectively consolidated resell prices into one effective resource for deciding how much you should sell or buy shoes for.

GOAT

In February 2018, GOAT announced it would be merging with long-time consignment retailer Flight Club. Speaking on the merger, co-founder and CEO of GOAT Eddy Lu said: “As the first company to focus on reselling rare sneakers, Flight Club revolutionized sneaker retail and paved the way for what is now a two billion dollar resale industry. The merger of Flight Club and GOAT, together with $60 million in new funding, will allow us to significantly scale our online and retail operations to meet customer demand both domestically and internationally.” Both GOAT and Flight Club are to operate independently of one another going forward, however.

Stadium Goods

It was founded by three industry veterans, co-founders John McPheters and Jed Stiller, and marketing head Yu-Ming Wu of Sneaker Con and Sneaker News. McPheters explained to Coveteur, “For a long time it felt like this aftermarket world of [resale] products wasn’t a clean place to transact,” he explained. “That gave my partner [Jed Stiller] and I the idea to make it more of a premium feel-good experience.” The basement of Stadium Goods' is rumored to contain $20 million of rare sneakers, but that only accounts for 10 to 15 percent of the store’s entire inventory. The rest is kept offsite in New Jersey.

KLEKT

In December 2017, KLEKT joined forces with UK consignment store Presented By. Following that deal, KLEKT’s website became more structured and only allowed the buying and selling of deadstock items. “Partnering up with Presented By has allowed us to increase the speed and size of all activities, using the resources and knowledge of both companies,” KLEKT’s Rik Loeffen says. “Earlier this year, Undercover Brothers Ltd. (the brothers behind Presented By and Crep Protect) obtained controlling interest in KLEKT."

eBay

Description: The Wild West of sneaker reselling portals and the true OG, eBay has come a long way and still has a cult-like following among resellers and older heads, however eBay is far from a sneaker-dedicated site like some of the others in our list. Sellers can list items on eBay as individual listings, much like as on Grailed. However, eBay offers the option to auction listings, where the top bid secures the prize.
