Which sneakers hold up after release? Nike Mind 001 +126%, Vans Old Skool +65%, Nike Kobe 6 +47% (Sunday ranking)
Which sneakers hold up after release? The median sale 12 weeks after launch week, against retail, for 27 models and 591 releases (GOAT + StockX completed sales, complete days to 2026-10-29). Across all releases the typical one sold 6% under retail, and 43% sold at or above it.
Two rule changes this week, so compare tiers with care: launch week is now the busiest week near the drop, not the first week with 20+ sales; releases touching May 22 to Jul 3, 2026 (StockX's record is missing many sales then) are left out (138). Our fully loaded record ends 2026-10-29, 1 day later than last issue (2026-10-28): recent sales are still filling in, so most changes come from the rules, not new sales.
