In other words, sneaker styles that once sold on StockX for $100 or more above Nike’s list price are now selling for a premium of less than $10 -- or at a discount, in the case of the"True Blue,""Skyline" and"White Cement" colors of Air Jordan high-tops released this year. Some investors are concerned the Jordan brand, a major source of sales for Nike, may be “losing steam,” Bernstein analysts said on Sunday.

The company will report results for the first quarter of its 2024 fiscal year, which Nike in late June projected would be below Wall Street expectations as North American consumers continue to cut back on discretionary purchases like footwear and apparel. Sales of performance shoes from Nike’s Jordan brand have also outpaced retro styles, which include Air Jordan 1 high-tops, Donahoe said in June.

Apptopia data from Barclays showed that during the fiscal first quarter, Nike app downloads were down 18% compared to last year - the biggest drop since mid-2019 - while daily average users also slid 2% year-on-year.
