Quick Decision Checklist

Buy only when model and colorway are clearly identifiable.
Validate sold prices, not optimistic active listings.
Target at least 25% margin after marketplace fees.

Important Note

Avoid buys without authenticity signals, unclear sizing details, or pricing based only on optimistic active listings.

Poor stitching or unusual box/label combinations.
Heavy sole yellowing without proper discount.
Missing clear size info or missing insole details.

Where to source good deals

Secondhand bundles, local classifieds, and liquidation lots usually outperform one-off single-pair deals.

Pro Tip

Three stable mid-margin deals beat one risky hype purchase without authenticity proof.
