Could shoes overtake sneakers in resale?

’s non-sneaker assortment is predominantly slides and casual footwear from Crocs and Birkenstock. Crocs trades increased 430 percent year-over-year and Birkenstock trades increased 610 percent year-over-year ., and the top-performing Yeezy products on the platform are the Yeezy Slides and Foam Runners.

“Sneakers are still dominant and represent the overwhelming majority of trades, but non-sneakers are growing faster than traditional footwear brands,” said StockX senior economist Jesse Einhorn. “The non-sneaker category is relatively small.” Einhorn said Crocs had the highest price premium — listed on StockX at 100 percent above retail — but are still affordable compared to the resale prices of hyped sneakers. “Crocs, slides and Foam Runners present an opportunity for sellers to double, triple or quadruple their money depending on the colorway and collaboration. The Salehe Bembury x Crocs resold for $400 to $500 on the higher end, but presents an opportunity for sellers.
