Nike Dunk High I Got Next: Resale Value


The graph above summarizes the average sale price of the sneaker since June 23, 2022. The highest average, $200, was achieved on June 24th. In the three days that followed, the resale value plummeted to $120. On June 28th, however, the average sale price increased to $169. The fluctuations in the prices can be explained by a variety of factors. Maybe the sample size is too small or maybe prices vary according to the sizes. This is why we need to compute the five number summary.

Minimum: 112
Quartile Q1: 121.25
Median: 136
Quartile Q3: 162
Maximum: 200

The sample size was indeed a little small , with only 16 sales recorded. So far the lowest sale recorded was $112 ( size 10), that is 10.4% below the MSRP. The highest sale was $200 ( size 9), recorded on June 24. Another size 9 sold for $168 on the 28th of June ( keep that in mind). 25% of the shoes sold for prices from $112 to $121.25 ( a size 8, 9.5, 10 and 12). 50% sold for prices from $121.15 to $162 ( see chart below for sizes). And another 25% sold for prices from $162 to $200 ( 2 sizes 9, a size 8 and a size 11). There were no outliers and the average sale price is $144, resulting in a $2 loss. But let’s look at the current earnings per size sold to see if the shoe is worth reselling at all.

75% of the sales led to losses while only 25% resulted in earnings between $10 and $35 ( sizes 9 and 11). What’s the verdict?

Verdict

Good news for buyers and collectors, you’ll be able to get the shoe for a decent price ( even below retail). For those seeking to resell it, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re targeting it for the long term. This is a shoe with the potential to reach the $250 mark in about 24 months.
