Question of the Day: What were the most expensive sneakers on the resale market last year?
Want to buy a pair of these Adizeros? You might need to add a zero.
Answer: Adidas Adizero Adio Pro Evo 1
Questions:
- Have you ever bought or sold a product in the resale market? Why?
- Why do you think certain brands/products are so desirable in the resale market?
- Do you think it’s possible to be a responsible consumer while participating in the resale market? Explain why or why not.
Behind the numbers (Complex):
"It’s kind of funny that the number one shoe on the list is Adidas’ $500 running shoe that’s designed for competitive marathon runners. If you’re logging a six-hour marathon, just stick to the latest Pegasus or Kayano. And I didn’t think they’d make a huge splash, but a lot of people are spending upwards of $1,100 on a pair. Wild."
