Where To buy the AJ1 Low Black Cement, see link below https://housakicks.com/how-many-pairs-made-resale/where-to-buy-the-air-jordan-1-low-og-black-cement-resale-value/ Current State of Sneaker Resale & Retail, see link below https://housakicks.com/business/these-stores-are-the-poster-child-of-the-current-status-of-sneaker-resale-and-retail/ Several weeks ago, we were graced with the Jordan 1 High elephant print, which I think is one of the best iteration courtesy of Jordan Brand. Well, it is being followed by the air Jordan 1 low black cement, obviously inspired by the iconic Black Cement 3 which the brand has tried to regurgitate with the women's Gold Jordan 3 cement that dropped in October. Literally , what we're witnessing is Jordan Brand finessing the heck out of their most popular colorways by recycling them to obtain some derivatives. In the post below, I discuss the shoe and its current resale value as it pertains to buyers, retailers and resellers.

hey what's going on guys this is
0:01
tigerhauser kicks.com and this morning
0:03
we're gonna talk about the Jordan one
0:05
low black uh cement now a few weeks ago
0:09
we were treated to the Jordan one high
0:11
uh elephant print I actually did a
0:13
little view on that I talked about
0:16
resale and all that kind of stuff and
0:18
then uh We've also seen a bunch of shoes
0:21
that were inspired by the black cement
0:23
especially the elephant print now this
0:25
is Jordan brand just trying to recycle
0:28
some of that iconic colorways in this
0:30
new variants and guess what it works for
0:33
them okay a lot of people actually like
0:34
these I was doing some research and the
0:36
trend is incredible people really want
0:39
this shoe so the shoe itself is built
0:41
with uh the uh elephant print or
0:44
overlays the cement print overlays on
0:47
the forefoot you can see it on the toe
0:50
cap
0:50
on the hill
0:52
and uh you have your black uh nubuck
0:56
underlays and then white uh swoosh logo
0:58
again it's a great shoe and then the
1:01
outsole is great in keeping with the
1:03
black and cement three now the black
1:05
cement 3 is a lot of people's favorite I
1:07
love this shoe myself so this shoe right
1:09
here is gonna be a good one all right so
1:12
this is a good one to have now and
1:14
actually if you have this for a long
1:15
time which I'll show you in a little bit
1:17
you're probably gonna be making some
1:19
decent money if you if you were to sit
1:20
on it for a little bit again your eyes
1:23
stay and your tongue in its extension uh
1:26
is built with the same nubuck material
1:28
you have perforations on the toolbox and
1:31
like here logo on the outside of the
1:34
tongue Nike or logo on the insole again
1:36
classic nice shoe I think it's gonna go
1:39
down as one of the best little top
1:41
Jordan Ones they do now I'm surprised at
1:44
this time the Jordan brand did not
1:46
change the midsole to look aged it's
1:49
been something that they've been doing a
1:50
lot so I'm surprised they haven't done
1:52
that right here all right so now we're
1:54
going to discuss
1:55
um resale and all that but before I
1:57
actually discuss resale they should cost
2:00
about 140 in men's sizes and for the
2:02
ladies it cost 120 I guess I'm not sure
2:06
why there's a price difference in the
2:08
price variance between the ladies and
2:10
the man go figure Jordan brand is always
2:13
up to something because look I'm going
2:15
back here these are the women's the
2:17
women I want oh actually I was wrong the
2:19
women are also won 40. I guess is the
2:21
key sizes I won 120. let's go back and
2:24
check this out let's see these are key
2:26
sizes oh women's again what is going on
2:30
here
2:31
I guess Jordan brainer yeah let's see
2:34
that's a yeah men's and women of 140. so
2:37
I was wrong on that so man's at 140
2:40
women's are 140 and I think the keys if
2:43
they are coming out are going to be 120
2:45
if I'm not mistaken all right now we're
2:48
gonna talk about
2:50
um who's getting it Nikes getting the
2:51
detailis getting it so you can check
2:53
those uh and I will have a link for you
2:55
in the description in case you want to
2:56
grab it on on uh secondary market now
2:59
we're going to talk about a resale okay
3:01
so the first thing you want to discuss
3:03
is we're going to talk about how to
3:05
shoot as behaving on third-party Market
3:08
faces so when I did my research this
3:10
morning I went and collected some data
3:12
and I put it on my um
3:14
uh spreadsheet to try to see what's
3:16
going on so this is between June the
3:18
22nd and June the 23rd as you can see
3:21
prices went from 152 down to 140 over 24
3:27
hours so between yesterday and today the
3:30
shoe went down by like 12 now he's still
3:32
pretty much close to retail which is
3:35
great especially for retailers because
3:37
you're going to be able to sell that
3:38
shoe they're going to be able to sell it
3:40
really quickly all right so now let's
3:43
discuss uh what this means in terms of
3:45
um
3:46
the shoe so I collected the data and I
3:50
went and found my five number summary
3:52
now the five number seven always gives
3:54
you a better picture of what's going on
3:55
so if you can see here the this the
3:58
lowest the shoe sold for was 120 and the
4:00
highest price was around 221 so
4:03
basically
4:05
let me go down here real quick so that
4:08
was a woman's size nine that's all for
4:10
120. that's actually lower than retail
4:13
and then the highest was 221 that's a
4:16
woman size 13. now 25 of the shoes sold
4:19
between 120 and 140. that's like
4:22
retailing under and I'm gonna show you
4:24
the exact sizes that sold for those
4:27
prices and then half of the shoes sold
4:29
between 140 and 160.25 and then they
4:33
remains 25 sold between 160 and 221 now
4:37
if you're trying to resell the shoot
4:38
that's probably me that's probably where
4:41
you want to be between 1 160 and 220
4:43
221. now there were two outliers and the
4:46
outliers were 209 and 221 and those were
4:49
for sizes 16 and a half and sizes 13 in
4:52
women now women's size 16 and a half and
4:55
13 that correspond to a size 14 in men
4:58
and a size 11 and a half in May
5:00
so they they when I did the company on
5:04
my computer on the average resale value
5:08
I took it with the outliers because you
5:10
wanna you don't want to put the outlines
5:11
in there so what's gonna happen it's
5:12
going to pull your resale value is going
5:14
to look a little bit high and that's no
5:16
reality so I took them out because the
5:18
outliers are really outliers they're not
5:20
supposed to really be they are not uh
5:22
they know this is why they call them
5:24
outliers so now your average resale
5:28
value is 148 and that's a different 11
5:31
volatility so you can expect about 70 of
5:34
the shoes to sell between 124 and 164.
5:37
now at 148 you're looking at 13 loss if
5:41
you were trying to resell the shoe now
5:42
there might be certain sizes that you
5:44
may want to sell so we're going to look
5:46
at it now
5:47
so assume you want to sell a size
5:50
uh let's say it's size 10 a size 10 will
5:54
give you a 20 loss because you sell it
5:57
for 141. a size 10 and a half you lose
5:59
about twenty four dollars because that
6:01
sells for like 136 a size 11 you make no
6:04
money you break even okay a size 11 and
6:07
a half you lose about a dollar a size 12
6:09
you lose 20 because you're selling for
6:12
141 it's size 12 and a half it's it's
6:14
selling for 142. now in size 13 went up
6:17
to like 182 but that's probably just one
6:19
or two sales so that's not the size that
6:21
you really want to like focus on too
6:23
much because the the sample size is too
6:25
small that generated is 17 uh profit now
6:29
size 13 and a half you lose about six
6:31
dollars it's selling for 156 it's size
6:34
16 and a half you make about 42 now
6:36
that's the only size that actually
6:37
generates a decent profit that's because
6:39
it's not a common size size 14 is not
6:41
common so that's gonna happen now
6:44
smaller sizes size six and a half you
6:46
lose about thirty seven dollars that's
6:48
like that's like 122. size 7.5 invisible
6:51
uh 23 that's 138 so that's eight and a
6:55
half that's interesting you make about
6:56
seven bucks size nine you lose about 13
6:59
and size nine and a half you lose about
7:01
uh twenty one dollars no at that
7:04
conclusion that we can make based on the
7:06
data that we we've gotten yes I'm gonna
7:08
draw some conclusion okay now as you can
7:10
see 79 of the sale that is like one out
7:13
of 11 out of 14 sales generated losses
7:17
so smaller sizes actually lead to some
7:19
more substantial losses so you don't
7:22
want to focus on like sizes six six and
7:24
a half seven eight eight and a half so
7:27
one sale letter to like a seven dollar
7:29
profit that says movement size eight and
7:31
a half and then size is 13 and size is
7:33
16 and a half
7:34
they were outliers and they generated
7:37
Seventeen dollars and forty dollars
7:38
forty two dollars respectively so is
7:40
there any conclusions well unless you're
7:43
able to get the shoe for like less than
7:45
retail on the Nike Employee Store I
7:48
would not recommend reselling this shoe
7:50
now if you're a day trader this is not a
7:52
shoe you want to resell because you're
7:53
not gonna make money that's just not
7:54
gonna happen
7:55
most sizes are selling between 120 and
7:58
140 so I'm at 160 so even at 160 you're
8:01
still looking at a loss or break even
8:04
but here's the thing if you're selling
8:07
the size of 12 and above you might be
8:09
able to make some money but I still
8:10
really really unlikely you might make
8:13
like 15 or a little more but as fast
8:16
like the the long term is concerned this
8:18
is a shoe that you definitely want to
8:21
focus on if you have money to sit on now
8:23
if you have capital and you can invest
8:25
then yes you should go ahead and buy at
8:28
least like maybe 10 or 12 pairs larger
8:30
sizes you sit around for 14 or 18 months
8:33
they might hit the low 200 which means
8:35
you're going to be making about 40 or 45
8:37
dollars in profit if you want to wait
8:39
two years to make that much money okay
8:41
that's you okay but I would not
8:43
recommend every selling the shoe right
8:45
now that's just not a good time to
8:47
resell sneakers because there's too many
8:49
shoes coming out I'll show you an
8:51
example let me go to
8:53
just again I'll show you something here
8:56
look and just let's look here
8:59
I just want to show you the status of
9:01
the sneaker industry look the injection
9:04
on 23rd 24 you have these shoes the on
9:07
the 28 year this one only 30 you have
9:10
the quad 342 and then on the 30th you
9:13
have now this Jordan 7 infrared trash
9:16
now July 6 you have your metallic
9:19
Foamposite now that's a good one now
9:21
past releases look in just
9:24
how many shoes are you gonna draw look
9:26
at that that's just way too many so if I
9:29
count this let me count between so
9:31
that's one two three four we have one
9:33
two three four five six seven eight nine
9:37
ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen
9:40
fifteen sixteenths so 16 between the 16
9:44
times six that's about oh I can run my
9:46
number 16 times six six and six that's
9:49
uh 36 that's like almost 96 pairs of
9:52
shoes in 22 days
9:54
you tell me how are you gonna how you
9:56
gonna be able to buy all these shoes
9:57
this is why stuff is sitting okay I
10:01
actually wrote an article on that
10:03
and I would like you to read it if you
10:04
have time because this is really
10:06
important this is good for buyers if
10:08
you're a buyer this is a bias Market
10:10
because you'll be able to down get shoes
10:13
for like the low because everything is
10:15
sitting unless you really have something
10:17
that's so limited but most for the most
10:19
part shoes I say so that's a good time
10:21
to be a buyer because you're gonna be
10:22
able to get a lot of things for the low
10:25
okay so I wrote an extension extensive
10:27
