What We Buy
Denim, Skel-Tops, Hoodies and Leather
Mike Amiri started his label in Los Angeles in 2014 with a capsule for the Maxfield store, and built it on distressed denim. Denim, sneakers and outerwear still carry the brand on the resale market; plain graphic tees bring the least.
MX1 & Distressed Jeans
The MX1, with ribbed leather panels behind the knee rips, is the jean people know Amiri for. Bandana-patch and paint-splatter pairs sell too. The offer turns on the wash, the panels and the size.
Skel-Top Sneakers
The Skel-Top, low and high, with bone-shaped leather overlays on the sides. Clean midsoles and overlays that haven't lifted bring the most. The box, dust bags and spare laces help.
Hoodies, Crewnecks & Tees
Bones hoodies, logo hoodies and crewnecks hold up better than tees. Fleece that has pilled or a logo that has cracked lowers the number.
Leather & Outerwear
Leather jackets, embellished and studded pieces, and heavier outerwear. Supple leather with clean lining and working zippers leads; dried-out or cracked leather brings less.
Pricing
What Moves an Amiri Offer
Amiri is distressed on purpose, so a lot of the work is telling what the factory did from what wear did. Here is what decides it.
- Factory rips versus wear
- Factory rips follow a set pattern, often backed by panels. A torn-through knee, a blown-out crotch or rips that have grown past the original pattern come off the offer.
- Leather panels
- On MX1s and other paneled jeans, cracked, peeling or torn leather panels lower the number more than anything else.
- Sneaker wear
- On Skel-Tops we look at heel drag, creasing, yellowed midsoles and bone overlays that have started to lift.
- The piece
- Denim, sneakers and leather lead. Hoodies come next. Plain graphic tees bring the least.
- Size
- Waist 30 to 34 and Medium to XL tops move fastest. Sneakers in men's 8 to 12 move fastest.
- Extras
- Sneaker boxes, dust bags and spare laces add to the offer. Receipts help but aren't required.

Authentication
How We Check Amiri
Amiri is heavily faked, especially the jeans and Skel-Tops. We look at the whole piece in front of you and tell you what we see.
- Denim weight and the stitching around leather panels and patches
- Buttons, rivets and zipper pulls, and how they're finished
- Inside labels and wash tags: font, spacing and print
- Skel-Top overlays, stitching, the Amiri logo on the midsole and the box label
- Print and fleece quality on hoodies and tees
