What We Buy
Jordan Retros We Buy
We buy every numbered Jordan with resale demand, in high, mid and low versions. Original colorways from the ’80s and ’90s and limited collabs bring the most; general releases that restock often bring less. For a deeper look at prices, read How to Sell Jordans in NYC.
Air Jordan 1
High OG, Low OG and Mid. The High OG in colorways like Chicago, Bred, Royal and Shadow carries the most value; Mids are a general-release line and usually bring less.
Air Jordan 3
Elephant print is the tell. White Cement, Black Cement and Fire Red are the classics, and the 3 has carried well-known collabs from Levi’s denim to Fragment.
Air Jordan 4
Bred, White Cement, Military Black and the KAWS and Travis Scott collabs. We check the mesh netting and the wing eyelets, where yellowing and chipped paint show first.
Air Jordan 5
Reflective tongue, clear outsole and the shark-tooth midsole. Fire Red, Grape and collab pairs like the CLOT Jade 5 Low hold their value best.
Air Jordan 6
Infrared, Carmine and Maroon lead the 6, along with the Travis Scott pairs. On older pairs the midsole can harden and crumble, so we check it first.
Air Jordan 11
Concord, Bred, Space Jam, Cool Grey and Gamma Blue. Creasing in the patent leather and yellowed icy soles move an 11 offer more than anything else.
Air Jordan 12
Taxi, Flu Game, Playoffs and Cherry. The tumbled leather holds up well, so clean, uncreased pairs stand out.
Jordan collabs
Travis Scott, Off-White, Union, Fragment, A Ma Maniére, KAWS and Dior. Collabs carry the biggest numbers, and the extras (hangtags, spare laces, special boxes) matter more here than anywhere else.
Pricing
What Moves a Jordan Offer
No two pairs get the same number. These are the things we look at, roughly in order of how much they move it.
- Model and colorway
- An OG colorway or a limited collab sits in a different bracket from a general release that restocks every year.
- Size
- Men’s 8 to 12 sell fastest. Very small and very large sizes, and grade-school sizes, usually bring less.
- Condition
- Deadstock (never worn) brings the most. After that we look at toe-box creasing, heel drag, sole yellowing and any repaint or sole swap.
- Box and extras
- The original box with a matching label, spare laces and hangtags help, especially on collabs.
- Age of the pair
- Older retros can be worth more, but the polyurethane midsoles on 3s, 4s, 5s and 6s harden and crumble with age. We check that before we quote.
- Demand this week
- Prices move with releases and restocks. We quote against what the pair is actually selling for now, not last year.

How We Check Jordans
Jordans are the most-faked sneaker we see, so every pair gets a full look at the counter before we make an offer. If something doesn’t match, we show you what we found.
- Size tag: style code, production dates and font against the release
- Box label: style code, colorway and size match the tag in the shoe
- Shape: the heel and toe box on 1s, the netting and wings on 4s
- Logos: Wings emboss, Jumpman proportions, Nike Air on the tongue and heel
- Materials: leather grain, stitch spacing, glue lines and smell

Before You Bring Them In
A quick clean helps us see the real condition, and it helps your number.
- Wipe the midsoles and uppers; skip bleach and the washing machine
- Bring the original box and any spare laces, hangtags or receipts
- Stuff the toe boxes with paper so creases relax
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
