BRILLIANT! The Business of Fashion has published an insightful article regarding the health of the sneaker resale market - backed up by Neustreet data! We see the significant percentage of major brands and silhouettes that were selling above MSRP have declined in price throughout 2023. Certain hyped releases continue to command massive resale premiums, but many metrics indicate that sneaker resale profitability at a macro level has ultimately decreased. However, when we here at Neustreet talk to entrepreneurs and different sneaker businesses across the industry, we have a positive outlook for the overall growth of the sneaker market, the number of resellers, and in particular are excited by the enhanced competition from younger sneaker brands. Thanks again to Daniel-Yaw Miller and The Business of Fashion for covering the topic, and looking forward to seeing more BOF articles about the sneaker resale market! #sneakers #footwear #fashion #retail #sneakerculture #resale #sneakercommunity

I made this matrix to start a conversation about sneaker brands., so we all can learn. Liza Amlani, Cesar Idrobo, Ed Stoner and Matt Powell, your insights would be a great addition. These are the criteria I used: - Only brands that offer at least the running category - Annual revenue equal to or over 1 billion USD (all in) - Only sneakers, no slides, no booties - Only full price, no discounts - No collabs, purely the brand's products - Prices from US brands' e-commerce Interesting facts about online search in the last 5 years: * New Balance grew 198% * Hoka volume search grew by 401% * Reebok became less relevant with -21% * File saw -47% less people searching for their brand on Google So back to the matrix on the picture, What do you think? Did I forget any brand? If so, in what quadrant would you place? #sneakers #shoes #footwear #branding #productmamagement #marketing #business #retail #fashion #nike #adidas #puma #reebok #newbalance #hoka

Here's something that most people won't have thought about: why shoe retailers only sell shoes in pairs. Paralympian Stef Reid who is a single leg blade runner has asked brands such as Nike, Decathlon UK and Brooks Running why, when some of their mannequins have a blade, so they clearly understand the diversity of sportspeople, they only sell footwear in pairs. Nike currently run the One Shoe Bank project in the USA, and Brooks refer to some of their retail partners who offer a single shoe service but, as Stef says "My perfect outcome is we would just transform the way the shoe industry operates and we would be able to buy shoes specifically for each foot," she said."
