By Alexander Isom · · StockX sales November 1, 2024 to September 16, 2026
Golf sneakers mostly sell under retail
Each dot is the middle golf sneaker that month: its median resale price divided by its retail price. Above the dashed line a shoe sold for more than it cost new. The latest month (Sep 26, to Sep 16) is 0.79× retail across 14 listings.
The same shoes, a year later
The shoes we can follow fell 14% in a year. Comparing each golf sneaker with itself, July to September 2025 against July to September 2026, the median change is −14% (95% interval −24% to −8%); 28 of 35 fell (sign test p = 0.0005). Against the start of the record (Nov 2024 to Feb 2025) the median change is −7% (−11% to +5%) across 32 shoes, with 14 up and 18 down: not distinguishable from flat (p = 0.60). The year-on-year result holds after correcting for the two comparisons (Benjamini-Hochberg).
Twelve best sellers, one chart each
Monthly median price (solid) against retail (dashed) for the twelve golf listings with the most sales. The scale differs in each box, so compare each line with its own dashed line.
Does age change the price?
Median price ÷ retail by months since release. These are shoe-months from different shoes, so the bars describe the mix we can see and do not follow one shoe as it ages.
