Learn more about selling sneakers
To get started with selling sneakers online, you’ll first want to thoroughly research the types of sneakers you’d like to sell. Pre-owned, refurbished, and brand new in box (BNIB) are the three main categories. Once you’ve decided, you can use Shopify to start your store and upload images and descriptions of your sneakers. Taking high-quality photographs of the sneakers using a modern camera or smartphone will help you win customers. Note the condition of the sneakers in your product description to set the right customer expectations and build trust.
You can sell sneakers online using your own store built with a platform like Shopify, a third-party marketplace, social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or TikTok where your sneaker audience hangs out, or on one of several niche websites such as Kixify, StockX, FightClub or Stadium Goods.
Yes. Shopify allows merchants to build beautiful online stores and sell directly to customers. Plus, Shopify merchants can sell their sneakers directly on marketplaces like Instagram and Facebook — the channels where their buyers shop — with social channel integrations.
To determine the best price for your sneakers, add up the costs of bringing your product to market. After that, research the potential profit margins for the types of sneakers you wish to sell. Are they made by popular brands such as Air Jordan or Yeezy? Are the sneakers limited edition with only a few numbers available?
Nice Kicks is an excellent example of a store created using Shopify that focuses on popular brands that “sneakerheads” would want to buy. Another example can be found in startup fashion brand Allbirds that uses the Shopify platform to help run its omni-channel marketing and sales strategy.
