For many people, shoes are just something you wear. You buy them use them everyday tear them up and get new ones. But for other people it's a culture, a hobby and a way to make friends and money. Sneaker reselling might be a new topic for many. So i will try to explain it the best a can. Think of supply and demand there is a new jordan that comes out and sold at the store for $200 but let's say there are only 1000 pairs made but 5000 people want a pair. So once they sell out in store and online witch could take seconds there is no way to get them for $200 anymore so people resell the shoes for more money let's say they sell it for $500 thats a $300 profit for doing nothing. I used to do this a lot during highschool to make extra money. I have since slowed down on it because now it's getting harder to get hyped shoes. Many places like nike have made a raffle system now so it's all luck on getting the shoe. But it's not just about reselling and making money the shoes are a way to express yourself and people like to collect them and build a collection of shoes over the years. Just like how some people collect expensive watches and purses it's the same thing with shoes. And i am one of the people who collect shoes.
