Air Jordans are still selling out, availability has loosened up considerably over the last calendar year, there are plenty of restocks, and many pairs are still sitting for leisurely buyers.
But what does that mean for the Air Jordan market, particularly reselling?
StockX has crunched the numbers and it’s not looking great.

Add in Jordan Brand hiking retail prices and production, and the whole market has seemingly gone atilt.
