What We Buy
Dunk, SB, Air Force 1 and Air Max
Nike makes millions of pairs a year, so what we pay depends on the line and the release. Collabs and limited drops lead; general releases that sit on shelves bring less.
Nike Dunk
Dunk Low and High. The Panda and other restocked colorways are common, so they bring modest offers. Collabs like Off-White’s The 50 and Union’s Passport Pack, and older hard-to-find colorways, bring more.
Nike SB Dunk
Nike’s skate line: a thick padded tongue, a Zoom Air insole and special boxes on many releases. Travis Scott, Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Dunky, Strangelove and Concepts lead, and pairs from the 2000s can be worth a lot.
Air Force 1
White-on-white general releases rarely have resale value. Limited pairs do: Off-White, Travis Scott, Louis Vuitton by Virgil Abloh, Tiffany & Co. and older special editions.
Air Max
Air Max 1, 90, 95, 97 and newer models. Patta, atmos, Off-White and Sean Wotherspoon collabs lead. On older pairs we check the Air unit for leaks and the midsole for crumbling.
Pricing
What Moves a Nike Offer
Two pairs that look alike can be far apart in value. Here is what decides it.
- Line
- An SB Dunk or a collab is worth more than a general-release Dunk or Air Force 1, even in similar colors.
- Restocks
- Nike restocks popular colorways. A pair that was hard to get last year can be easy to find today, and the offer follows that.
- Condition
- Unworn pairs bring the most. On worn pairs we look at creasing, sole wear, scuffs and how clean the midsole is.
- Size
- Men’s 8 to 12 move fastest. Women’s and kids’ sizes have their own demand, which we check model by model.
- Box and extras
- Special SB boxes, spare laces and collab packaging add to the number. A plain replacement box doesn’t.
- Air units and foam
- A popped Air bubble or a crumbling midsole takes a pair out of resale. Older Air Max and early-2000s Dunks are where this shows up.
Not sure which release you have? The style code on the size tag (DD1391-100 is the Panda Dunk, for example) tells us exactly. Text it with photos to 917-608-8939.

How We Check Nike Pairs
Fake Dunks and Air Force 1s are everywhere, especially in popular colorways. We look at the whole pair before we make an offer, not one detail.
- Size tag style code and dates match the box label
- Swoosh shape and placement, stitch spacing and toe-box shape
- SB details: tongue padding, Zoom Air insole, SB branding
- Midsole and outsole molds, including the Air Force 1 pivot circle
- Collab extras: hangtags, spare laces and special boxes
Get Ready
Before You Bring Them In
Light cleaning is fine. Custom, repainted or dyed pairs are a different market and usually aren’t a fit for us.
- Brush dirt off the uppers and wipe the midsoles
- Bring the box, receipt and any spare laces
- Text photos first if you’re bringing a big collection
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
