Which sneakers resell furthest above retail right now? Still mostly Travis Scott (updated October 2026)

Methodology (October update): the same method over 90 whole UTC days from July 28 to October 25, 2026; October 25 was the last day our backfill check marked complete for StockX when the analysis ran. Before running it we fetched StockX's retail price and release date for every StockX listing with 50+ sales that our catalog lacked (1,084 fetched, 718 with a retail price); 3,618 footwear listings with sales in the window still have no retail record, but none of them had 50+ sales in the window (14,577 sales between them), so none could make the cut. The September window was re-run the same way for the correction. The same-shoe check compares sales on September 28 - October 25 with June 27 - September 24 for each StockX listing with 10+ sales in both, two-sided Mann-Whitney, Benjamini-Hochberg across the 13. Brand tests: two-proportion z test of each brand with 25+ shoes against all other shoes, Benjamini-Hochberg across the 11 brands.

The September analysis (published September 30)

In July 2019 the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low 'Mocha' cost $130 at retail. Over the last 90 days it resold on StockX for a median of $1,958. That is 15 times what it cost in the store, the biggest premium of any sneaker we track right now.

It is not alone, and it is not typical. Eight of the twelve sneakers selling furthest above retail are Travis Scott pairs, almost all of them Jordan 1 Lows. Across the wider market, only 3.6% of sneakers sold for double their retail price or more, and the typical pair sold for 17% below what the store charges.

The top of the list is one collaboration

We took every adult sneaker that sold at least 50 times on StockX between June 27 and September 24, 2026 and had a retail price listed by StockX: 2,917 shoes and 815,237 sales. For each one we divided its median sale price by its retail price.

The Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low runs through the chart in almost every colorway: the original Mocha (15.1x), the Fragment collab (11.5x), the Reverse Mocha (9.7x), the Black Phantom (6.4x) and the women's Olive (5.8x). Widen the list to the top 25 and 10 are still Travis Scott.

The exceptions are older collabs too. The Ben & Jerry's 'Chunky Dunky' SB Dunk, a $100 shoe from 2020, sells for $1,270. The Off-White Jordan 1 'University Blue' and Air Presto are from 2018.

Ten of the eleven sneakers selling for five times retail or more were released between 2018 and 2023.

One caveat on reading these multiples: retail is the price StockX lists for that release, so a 2019 shoe is measured against its 2019 store price.

Newer releases with the biggest premiums

The chart is mostly history. Limited to the 1,233 shoes released since January 2025, the leaders look different:

The Sail Military Blue stands out for volume. It traded 4,132 times in 90 days, far more than anything else on this list, and still held more than three times retail.

Newer shoes, as a group, did worse than older ones. 25.2% of shoes released since 2025 sold above retail (95% interval 22.9% to 27.7%), against 35.2% of older ones still trading (33.0% to 37.5%). Part of that is survival: older pairs that lost value mostly stopped selling often enough to make the cut.

Most sneakers still sell below retail

Step back from the top of the list and the picture changes. Of the 2,917 shoes:

• 30.9% sold above retail (95% interval 29.3% to 32.6%).
• 22.2% sold at least 13.6% above it, roughly what a StockX Level 1 seller needs to get retail back after fees, before shipping.
• 104 shoes (3.6%) sold for double retail or more, and 35 (1.2%) for triple.
• The typical shoe sold at 0.83 times retail, 17% under the store price.

Loosening the bar to shoes with five or more sales (14,624 of them) gives a similar answer: 36.6% above retail.

By brand, Nike and Jordan own the extremes but not the averages

Nike and Jordan account for 79 of the top 100 premiums, yet their typical shoe still sells well under retail. The brands that beat retail most often have almost no big multiples.

Compared with all other shoes, Jordan, ASICS and Crocs beat retail more often, and adidas, New Balance and UGG less often, each with q below 0.01, meaning the gap survives testing ten brands at once. Nike's share is not clearly different from the rest (q = 0.19). For how this looks among new releases only, see whether sneakers still resell above retail, by brand; for the cheap end of the market, see whether Converse hold their value.

What it means if you are buying or selling

The sneakers that sell for many times retail are a short, specific list, and most of it is one collaboration from a few years ago. Everything else in this data sold, more often than not, below its store price. None of this says which pairs will hold their premium.

If you own one of these pairs, check its current median on our price checker, and run the number through the resale fee calculator to see what you would keep after fees.

Methodology: completed StockX sales recorded by SneakerPulse, 90 whole UTC days from June 27 to September 24, 2026, sales between $0 and $30,000. Retail price and release date are StockX's own listing fields (our StockX catalog snapshot); the retail column in our products table is empty, so GOAT sales, which have no StockX retail match here, are not included. Of 44,341 StockX products with sales in the window, 25,038 were adult footwear of StockX type "sneakers" with a usable retail price ($20 to $2,000); 3,041 footwear listings had no retail record and 41 had a missing or out-of-range retail. Kids' sizes (GS, PS, TD and similar in the name) and accessory-only listings were excluded; women's listings are included. A shoe needs 50+ sales in the window. The multiple is the shoe's median sale divided by its listed retail. Shares have 95% Wilson intervals; each brand with 25+ shoes was compared with all other shoes by a two-proportion z test, with Benjamini-Hochberg correction across the ten brands. "Cleared fees" assumes StockX Level 1 (9% + 3%) and ignores shipping. StockX sells new pairs only.
