Conclusion – Is sneaker investment recommended?
Let’s illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of investing in sneakers using an example calculation: If you assume the 25 percent return mentioned above (ambitious, but not unrealistic), you could now invest 10,000 euros a year, i.e. a small car, annual vacation etc., and would get 100 pairs of shoes in a box, which would take up about two-thirds of a cubic meter of space. The resulting return would be 2500 euros.
In extreme cases there is even more profit in it; the “Hornets” version of the Jordan 1 Mid went from $190 to $612 from late October to late November 2020, stayed there for a few days, and now oscillates between $300 and $450. Note that the $600 spike on this shoe is an exceptional event based on price history. From the graphic of stockx.comwhich all registered users can access, it can be seen that even with such a volatile shoe, a safe investment at a reasonable average price is possible.
