read this article on espn, interesting beginners insight into the sneaker market.

But they're not Nike, so surely dropping a few more would help a small label...

What does the sneakerhead market REALLY look like?
We're collecting data. Giving you insights.
such as these from the original article
Luber believes eBay’s collectible sneaker market represents a quarter of the secondary market — an estimate he calls conservative. This suggests that resellers made $240 million last year, all but $10 million of it on Nike products. That $230 million is equivalent to 8.5 percent of Nike’s earnings in fiscal 2014.
