Feb 20, 2025
Buy it now via https://bit.ly/2kSQR0G The Air Jordan 1 Obsidian dropped about two weeks ago and was an instant success; Nike continues to test the market with new colorways and themes in keeping with the Edit To Amplify campaign. I personally am not fond of fluorescent highlights on a white shoe but Nike thinks otherwise. Coming out on September the 28th is the Air Jordan 1 First Class Flight; I’m not sure what inspired the details on the its uppers, so I’ll invite you to visit Nike.com for that. My task this morning is to come up with a rough estimate of the number of pairs produced and I’ll stick with my usual method. Beside Nike, here are the major and minor chains within the USA that will carry the shoes comes Saturday. Major Retailers: Footlocker, Footaction available in stores and online Minor Retailers: None so far from my scouting Subscribe to Housakicks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZPK...

good evening guys it's time for my
0:01
psychics calm and I got some time to
0:03
squeeze in this quick show on this
0:05
evening
0:06
now the urge or on one first-class
0:08
flight is coming out tomorrow not
0:11
tomorrow on Saturday my apologies and I
0:14
wanted to figure out how many pairs were
0:16
made but before I get into the actual
0:18
sure I want to show you pictures so I'll
0:19
go nike.com and they have the best
0:22
picture so let's go here and let's talk
0:25
about this shoe now the leather material
0:28
is probably the safe logs every letter
0:31
so I don't know some kind of perforated
0:33
and white leather premium they say and
0:36
now one of the thing is this I don't
0:38
like like fluorescents or highlights on
0:40
the shoe I just don't like it like those
0:42
flamboyant colors I'm now I'm very
0:44
conservative all dude so I like the shoe
0:47
but I wouldn't get it for myself I just
0:50
don't I don't go for this kind of like
0:52
flashy colors but you know if you want
0:54
it more power to you it's a lot of
0:56
perforations on the leather you can see
0:58
that over here and it's a little bit of
1:00
that neon yellow highlights on the under
1:05
lace and on the back and at the on a hit
1:08
liner and that's a lot of time I like
1:10
just one thing that I like about it
1:11
shows the back here this like barcode I
1:14
love that now a lot of these stuff is
1:17
like byproducts of the off-white you can
1:19
see there's a lot of abstract to things
1:20
to it when Nike wants to throw all these
1:22
things to just it looks like really
1:25
unique and that's the whole point
1:27
now my goal is just trying to figure out
1:29
how many pairs with me now I we talked
1:31
about a shoe let's go back to my website
1:33
and then I'm gonna read it off my own
1:35
website cuz I wrote that this morning
1:36
and I don't want to like do another
1:38
PowerPoint for you to see it it's just
1:40
too much work so again like the Obsidian
1:42
one came out a couple of weeks ago and i
1:45
was an instant success like the shoes
1:46
sold out instantly and nike else been
1:49
like really employing this eddie to
1:51
amplify campaign which is give people
1:53
what they want and the Jordan one high
1:54
silhouette has been like on the main now
1:56
some meets it what I also doing really
1:58
good but the high is always like first
2:01
choice so the first thing that I do when
2:03
I want to find like how many pairs we
2:05
made these are going like Foot Locker
2:08
and infraction and I look at their
2:09
release map and I look at like minor
2:11
retailers and chains and
2:13
see what again but this time when I went
2:15
no minor chains are getting it like as
2:18
far as I'm concerned I didn't find any I
2:19
went to downtown locker room all these
2:22
crazy shoe polish shoe city kicks USA
2:26
Jimmy gasps none of them has it shown
2:28
their calendar they might change in the
2:29
future I don't know but as of now none
2:32
so the only people that I know of was
2:34
Nike of course and in Foot Locker
2:36
infraction not even change are the
2:38
shield listed on their calendar so that
2:40
mean that she is gonna be limited right
2:42
so I went and collect the data so now
2:44
I'm gonna show you what I got
2:46
so this is Foot Locker so when I check
2:48
the map I went and counted everything
2:51
was like 595 Foot Locker stores for a
2:54
fraction about 182 so as you can see
2:57
that on the images that I showed you
2:58
here you can do that on your own if you
3:00
want now it's the thing is this like
3:03
most stores are operating on a
3:05
first-come first-served basis so I can
3:07
actually open this up and show you real
3:08
quick okay let's do that I'm gonna do
3:12
that in front of you so you can see like
3:15
more stores this is like boom boom boom
3:17
you see that man look at that that's a
3:20
lot of photo girls getting it alright
3:22
first it's not our first come first
3:24
serve is lounge reservation procedure so
3:27
it's gonna be limited all right let's go
3:29
back to my website so doc do to find out
3:33
how many shoes are made we're gonna set
3:36
up some assumption which I'll do in
3:37
front of you every time so this time I'm
3:39
assuming that footlocker infraction are
3:41
gonna get about one half of the entire
3:42
us allocation and then footlocker and
3:46
production online are gonna get about
3:48
1/4 of what physical stores are getting
3:50
and now the hardest part is to figure
3:52
out how many pairs per store that's the
3:55
hardest one because I'm I don't know
3:56
some fraction we get like 70 pairs like
3:59
House of Hoops and locations like in
4:01
like New York and stuff like that
4:03
in Harlem so I don't know so to be safe
4:06
I just stick to like 12 pairs per store
4:09
I'm trying to be conservative here and
4:11
then the next thing to do is just simple
4:13
arithmetic we're just gonna multiply
4:15
these numbers 595 times 12
4:18
182 times 12 you added or to pick
4:20
together you get 9 324 and find it
4:23
online allocation you take that number
4:24
multiply it by 1/4 or just divide by
4:27
for we get 23 331 and then to get the
4:30
total we just add it all up I came up
4:33
with 11,000 655 and to run it off you
4:37
get 12 thousand pairs that's just the
4:39
u.s. inventory just multiply that by
4:42
2020 4000 and then I'm assuming that the
4:45
rest of the world
4:46
cuz everybody else like and impress us
4:49
and like Europe I get in it you're gonna
4:51
take that number and then multiply that
4:53
by like to 48 thousand pairs and this
4:55
guy came up with my numbers I could be
4:57
totally wrong
4:58
take this thing with a grain of salt I
5:00
don't know for sure but this is my
5:02
estimation all right now the next thing
5:04
I want to tell you is this market value
5:06
should you buy the flip a lot of people
5:08
want to know should I buy this shoe and
5:09
flip it so what I did was I went on eBay
5:11
and I collected my data so when I did
5:14
that I put it in a histogram and this is
5:16
what I found but you can clearly see
5:17
from we've done this picture here that
5:19
eight pairs sold between 340 to 360 and
5:23
those are like like mid sizes and the
5:25
lowest shoes sold for like 300 and 320
5:28
right here alright and those were like
5:31
like larger sizes and then the highest
5:33
price fell between the 480 499 and most
5:36
of the shoes are sold with size 8 in
5:37
size 9 or size they didn't have 4 9
5:40
something like that so that means
5:41
smaller size are gonna go for the
5:43
highest so I'm referring to like sizes 7
5:45
to like 9 I mean sizes I could not sell
5:47
probably between like the 340 360 and if
5:50
you do is when I did my average I came
5:53
up to to 343 39 point 28 so if you look
5:56
at a markup that's about 99 point 69
5:59
percent markup since the shoe retails
6:00
for like 160 before tax if you live in
6:02
Maryland that's gonna be like 169 60 so
6:05
your markup is like 99% you better
6:08
believe that this is a good markup right
6:09
there all right so I went on stock X and
6:12
I did the same thing five hundred and
6:14
thirty two pair sold and the markup was
6:16
103 percent
6:17
421 their average sell price this is
6:20
incredible now here's the thing should
6:22
you buy the flip of course you should
6:23
buy this thing to flip if you if you if
6:25
you want to make some money on Saturday
6:26
I mean it's incredible the mark-up is
6:28
100 percent yes you should now he has
6:31
the thing that I really want to talk
6:32
about like the sales ratio for every 13
6:36
pair sold on eBay 532 were sold on stock
6:39
X so that's like forever
6:41
super sold on eBay a hundred pairs are
6:42
selling on stock that's incredible and
6:44
that's nice like it makes sense because
6:46
you know why
6:47
eBay has been polluted with a lot of
6:49
fake shoes so people don't want to take
6:51
a chance anymore and then on stock X
6:53
it's easy to sell this sneaker you get
6:56
into the story once you get your hands
6:57
on the shoe you know he's gonna sell
6:58
right away because somebody already put
7:00
money down they're willing to pay you
7:01
for what we know what you want for the
7:03
shoe that's incredible right that's
7:05
crazy right there and then the buyer
7:08
gets to impose his will on the seller so
7:10
I mean you can tell me this is not a
7:12
good system and I actually wrote about
7:14
it you can read the article just click
7:16
on here if you go to my website and read
7:18
this article you willing you will enjoy
7:20
I go and I break down like the entire
7:22
things that I'm talking about right now
7:23
all right so that's not what we're
7:24
talking about so yes this shoe is gonna
7:27
be a good one to flip if you want it
7:28
it's chrome 48 thousand pairs million
7:30
total that's what I'm assuming
7:32
and the resale price right now is about
7:34
400 in 350 between 350 and 400 so that's
7:38
a good price now if you want to buy it I
7:40
have like a link for you over there and
7:42
some links on eBay
7:43
you can buy this thing from all right so
7:46
